Remembering.......

Loved ones
Childhood
Little ones first dance class
School gate Hug

But mostly today my nanny p, I hope she is at peace and that she knew how important a part she, her character and her lifestyle was to us and the effect that had. The life goes on as we will share our memories as they will be told by us to her great grand children who will have their adventures but will share those that we had from our storytelling and pictures she helped to create with us.
We are incredibly lucky to have had the fun, naive, playful childhood that we had and to have a nanny who was 92! (every time we asked she was always 92!) and off to Jericho !? Who was completely non materialistic, thoughtful, honest and creative. I recall a yellow plastic cup of sugary tea, honey, wild flowers, wellie boots, silver hair, hot water bottles, sponge cakes, stories, dens and puzzles and happiness, thank you nanny p x

I rather it be me.....

poor baby is streaming, coughing, sticky eyes but still smiling.
This easter has been rather eventful with coughs, colds, croup, head-lice (last day of term!) and successful potty training!, oh yes and me losing my voice, not great timing! Then just as the holidays draw to the last few days and I think we are free down comes baby with his cold.
Despite his snuffles and awful night cough (thankfully not croup) he has no fever and is his usually cheery self. Greenbaby snuffle rub has been applied to soles of feet and chest, breast milk in eyes for what I hope does not develop into full on conjunctivitis, I have iPad and baby has his Dr Seuss cat in the hat rattle book.
As a parent you would do anything for your children and if I could take on all the bugs and snuffles I would, as I can't take away his i will give plenty of hugs, feeds, rattle entertainment when required and do as we have many times with mini1,minimini1 and now miniminimini1!

Night night and lets dream of sunny snuffle free days x

Washi frames

The mini ones love to draw, there are pictures everywhere around our home, and this week we made a few with washi frames.
Mini1 likes to do her line drawings in a single colour so the mix match washi stripes added colour and I think her choices were great.
