Lessons

It’s amazing what you learn as a parent. I’m not talking about the art of how to look after babies and toddlers, I’m talking about the stuff you learn or relearn as you teach your child about the things they see in their life. For example, I would never have been able to name the different types of trucks on the road if Henry wasn’t so interested in modern day machinery. Now he is beginning to show an interest in dinosaurs which is forcing me to learn about velociraptors, the brontosaurus, whether they were plant or meat eaters, how big they were, how long ago they lived and much more. It will be interesting to see what things Miss Milly will want to know about, at the moment she is all too keen to box and whack her toys as they hang on mobiles in front or above her. Anthony “The Man” Mundine had better watch out.

I can’t stop baking. Cakes, cupcakes, breads, biscuits, muffins – sweet and savoury. Henry helps with the pouring, sieving, whisking, beating, and mixing …and of course the taste testing. We are lucky he is such a good eater and willing to try most things.

Milly is now 11 weeks old. She is smiling more and more and loves watching Henry play – she always has a super big smile for him. She is sleeping well at night between feeds, and on a couple of occasions has even skipped a night time feed.

A big thank you to Elke Kremer who gave Milly the giraffe. Happy Birthday Elke!
