twinkle toes
i discovered this music video from the madagascar dvd
mummy borrowed from the local library for me
i can't be bothered watching the movie but i love the music video
and replay it umpteen times over and over and over again
much to her dismay
i insist on everyone doing the moves with me
and it just cracks them up
dada is a great sport because he is wearing his work pedometer at the moment
mummy will start hers next week so she can join in then
in the meantime she loves these videos which will surely
be brought out when i turn 18...
(spot the flashdance, bum-wiggling, moooove-it and strange swaying moments)

happy mothers' day
mama has been savouring this book of latefinding your inner mama which is
a collection of essays by women
reflecting on the challenges and rewards of
motherhood
here she shares part of the introduction
penned by the editor, Eden Steinberg
which resonates deeply with her
i was going to have to grow and change...
I was going to have to let go of a lot of things I felt entitled to:
uninterrupted sleep;
things going as planned;
a feeling of being in command,
the master of my circumstances.
I also saw that I was ultimately going to have
to let go of my very self-concept,
my idea of motherhood,
and my expectations of my child.
All of it had to go.
The idea of shedding... my whole concept of motherhood...
I thought that as a mother
I would carefully mould and shape my children.
If I did my job right, my children would turn out to be
well-adjusted, loving, thoughtful, and interesting people.
As it turns out, motherhood is moulding and shaping me.
At the end of all this, I am the one who could end up
well-adjusted, loving, thoughtful, and interesting.
In different ways... our experiences as mothers
can lead us to valuable insight and transformation.
So... I respectfully suggest to all of you that,
from a certain persepctive,
your children will raise you.
That's good news, isn't it?"
Wishing you a lovely Mothers' Day!

merci beacoup stephanie et luke
dear aunty steph and lukie
can you believe mama finally let me have the peppa pig car on saturday?
dada couldn't believe she managed to keep it from me for that long...
well thank you very much for thinking of me and knowing how much i like peppa pig
i keep asking them to press mama pig so that the music comes on
but i do not really like it when they push papa pig down so the car moves
i guess i like to be the one in the driver's seat!
here i am once more doing 'the face'

we are grateful

it's dada's birthday today
so happy happy birthday my beloved dada
we are so blessed to have you as a father and husband
you are the world to me and mama
your constancy and love is our bedrock
our nights together
as you put me to bed
and wait for me
to fall asleep
before tiptoeing out
although some nights
you don't manage
to brush your teeth...
for this i love you!

i can climb anthills
turning 26 months old means more vigourous adventures
i have started climbing anything and everything of height that's in sight
chairs, chests of drawers, sofa arms, piles of dirt
if i can climb it, i have to - just. can. not. resist.
sense of acheivement means everything to me right now
(oh and we'll talk about those boots in a later post!)
