a day in the life

I really had forgotten just what interesting little people toddlers were. Interesting as in their constant curiosity, patience testing,  their understanding of far more than they can say, the tantrum throwing and above all, how endearing they can be.

We don't really have a routine as such in the formal sense, as I was never a fan of routines. But our days do generally have a similar flow to them. The majority are spent at home, which tends to suit this little one. Breakfast with the kids before school, a midday nap, which may or may not be before lunch. School pick up and a slightly more hectic afternoon after that. In between all that there is play, but not usually with toys. It is much more fun to play with Mum's purse, try on Mum's jewelry or dance to music. We get outside to hang out the washing in the afternoon sunshine, and there is often a bike ride or two around the yard. And as much as I thought I would not, I will admit that there has been an old Dora dvd making an appearance lately. Sometimes you just need that 10 minutes to sit down and have a coffee to feel like yourself again.

Squirting herself and the windows with water, washing windows with a sock and tucking herself into bed to read my book are all in a days work for this busy little girl.


Wishing you all a very good weekend.
