A dragon fly a jet plane and a gaze.

It has been 3 months since checking in here....

So much has happened.

So many experiences, my mind is blown and I wish i could document every second because it all seems so important. My days have been full to the brim, and becoming busier as the time goes on. Sariah is now eating food, jet is now using the toilet and Asher is almost writing. Sounds like the sml stuff but really these are HUGE milestones. I've read some interesting books these past few months. One on the montessori method which actually changed me. Literally. Read some things before but the book changed what I now do each day.

I read another book on behaviour. It is incredible - by a doctor call Dr Shefali Tsabary - she has incredible TED talk you should check out.

Life has been flowing and the boys have been becoming harder, speaking silly words and fighting! Oh my word with the fighting. As the eldest learns more and acts kinder it is slowly becoming managable.

I took them to my favourite playgroup today. We are the loudest and worst behaved it always seems and i get paranoia about the other mums, but overall today was nice. The playgroup co ordinator is kind and supportive so i enjoy talking with her and hearing her insights.

Above all i have most enjoyed, stopping and sharing tiny moments....i have to work hard to make sure they are frequent in each day....asher wanted me to see a dragon fly, jet showed me his favourite jet plane and as i put sariah down for a nap we stared at each other for a lovely long time and with her smiling back at me i could tell she trusted me, wanted me and needed me. It was a strong emotion to feel in a 60 second period. All seperate instances have improved my view on my children for today. The next tantrum fight or time out will be bareable as i can draw strength from the moments that were good and know that the next good moment is about to come.

So much in my mind I want to write down and share....for now this is all I can. Until a new day i have a spare moment to get back on here.
