although i cant say it hasn't felt like 7 years have passed by and taken its toll on my twenty something body making it feel rather like a thirty some thing's body!
What a ride, i am enjoying being a mother more than i thought was possible, it seems to be the little things that make it so enjoyable...the first word (not mama) 'sad face', the crawling and now the pulling up on any thing that stands still for more than 3 seconds!!! it seems to be one big surprise after the other and waking up at 2am because the first tooth is refusing to just push through with out making a fuss, all of this is worth every second.To watch our little ones grow up into little people is a wonder that only the best of us can manage!
We started going to a mommy and baby class a few months back, i must admit i was a bit hesitant about what it would be like after having been warned that its really just a place were mothers make other mothers feel bad about the milestones your baby hasn't reached yet, but no it is fantastic! Luca really enjoys herself and on some day's she even screams in dismay that we have left! Of course there is the bonus of having a support group of mom's with the same age kids going through the same issues as you and i have made some real friends! we now get together weekly and chat each others ears off about what the week had thrown at us and how we proudly survived it relatively unharmed :)
I have added some pics below of some of our adventures... hope you enjoy!
The other topic i wanted to chat about was the big debate about do you make the birthday cake or do you have it made for the first birthday! WHY is this topic so widely discussed? is it not the choice of the mother of the child that is in question??? yes i am having Luca's birthday cake made by some one else,does that make me a bad mother? the answer is no,it makes me a cleaver mother.this way i get to enjoy my child's birthday party just as much as every one else ,as i wont be running around trying to get the icing just the right colour! I do however think there is a limit to how much you spend on that birthday cake or decor, but once again it is the choice of the mother and if they can afford to have a birthday cake that cost's more than my monthly installments on my retirement fund than good for them! yes you do sense a hint of jealously in that statement (green face)!!!!
So i have decided to have Luca's cake made and I'm sure that it will look stunning and not make any one sick!Always a bonus when you have kids at the party!
Once again thanks for listening even if it is only my mother that reads this,LOL!
Till next time.......xxxxx
