Life in between

the cyber excitement 🙂

Life blogging has been a bit thin on the ground here recently. I do apologise. Both to any readers who read for the real bits and to future me, looking back to try to remember this time and that there was more to life than tweets and cybermummy 😉

So much more to life. Getting off the train on the way home, had my very own Railway Children moment. Tim had brought the kids to pick me up and they came hurtling up the platform, grinning all over their faces, so so happy to see us both. Small said “I’ve missed you soooo much!” and it quite literally brought tears to my eyes. Wish I’d had a camera in my hand at that moment, but I was kind of laden down.

I love my kids 🙂

Let’s not ask if we always like each other 😉

So life goes on. Much mathletics in the early part of the week, though it seems to have slackened off again, replaced atm in the high interest stakes by BrainPopUK. Caught Small on some astronomy site earlier today, and he and Tim appear to have started an on off spelling competition.

Big and I are working on our very own business project, hopefully to be launched within the next couple of weeks. And that led us to an impromptu beach trip this evening, which was fabulous fun.

The usual swimming, Beavers, Brownies and swimming club have happened, but music is over for the summer. Various other families met up somewhere up the road, but my kids mutinied and we didn’t get out in the morning. Regretted that later so dragged them out into town instead.

Big got her swimming club report tonight, and more importantly, got a well done and a smile from her teacher. She was very impressed with that, as apparently C doesn’t smile very often 😉

I am loving how Big is blossoming atm. She is coming into her own, and beginning to work out who she is, and who she might become. At times she is the most wonderful helpful daughter and big sister in the world, other times are louder, but now there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for both of us. Loving having her here everyday and sharing her growth.

Small is still Small. Although apparently he’s tall now. Which is a bit confusing 😆 We stalled slightly with some maths this week when he got on to improper fractions, and I tried to explain them in terms of sharing. Sharing is not really something that works for him as a concept 😉 Having said that, he bought himself a toy one day, and then when Big loved it, went back the next day and bought her one too. He does have a very kind heart underneath it all.

Smallest enjoyed her weekend away, and didn’t quite crack crawling at the conference. She sits beautifully and keeps rolling herself on to her front but not quite managing to move.

And now she’s woken up so that’s the end of this post 🙂
