It's been a while since I've posted in this mini series so apologies.
It's been quite a tough few weeks (for a couple of reasons that I won't bore you with) coinciding with a tetchy teething baby who wants to explore anything and everything. She's completely fearless, despite a headbump after launching herself out of my arms and has been climbing all over the place whist I watch her, terrified that she'll attempt a death defying stunt. Her mood has been on a knife edge and so my attempts to keep her safe by moving her or putting her in her playpen have been met with temper tantrums, screaming and actual tears. I'm exhausted. My brilliant husband has been great over the weekend and took her out for a long walk as a final attempt to pacify her cries. I stayed at home and just sat in silence.
Having had my moan I can still say that I wouldn't change my baby for anything and have been able to enjoy some of the small but wonderful things during the past few weeks....
• Tapas. I love tapas, especially in the sunshine overlooking the beach. A rather unusually sunny and free Tuesday meant J, O and I went out for lunch. O slept in her pram whilst J and I troughed our way through a selection of scrummy tapas.
• My aging but faithful car had it's MOT and I usually dread this event due to the list of expensive repairs that need to be done on my car. This year I was delighted to be told that my car needed a new.... wiper blade. Result. I can afford that :-)
• The fact that 'Jack is back'. If you don't understand this phrase, you probably won't care and if you do, you probably will.
• Chocolate raisins. I just love them.
I'd love to hear about the small but wonderful things in your lives. Feel free to comment if the mood takes you!
Jack is back... Wish I could watch him...
