Me & Mine {April}

I love the dynamics of our family of four at the moment. It’s perfect for us. Whether it’s girls vs boys or Mommy-Son time and Father-Daughter time we each have a separate relationship with each other as well as all together. Somedays Daddy is the favorite and other days Mommy is and let’s not forget those days that both kids want us both and go back and forth.

It is always hard to capture the four of us together, especially when we are out and about doing family adventures. Someone has to take the picture. But on this occasion both kids were very corporative, not so smiley but willing to sit for a moment while Granny took our photo. Mommy was even impressed that Mr P was a willing participant too.

Over the last few months both kids have grown so much. With a baby on the move, we now, all get more enjoyment out of our family adventures together. No longer always having to take the stroller with us and tuck baby away while we play.

Missy Moo can join in, and have become quite the little explorer. She ventures out to see what her big brother is doing and participate as much as possible.

Buba is intrigued yet not ready for his sister to be into everything you are. But when she isn’t paying attention to him, he is quick to try to capture it again. Always making sure she is involved somehow and keeping up with him at all times.

It’s amazing to watching the kids interact not just with themselves but with Mr P as well. They idiolize their father so very much. From the moment they hear the door handle click at dinner time, they shout and strain their necks from the dining room table to get that first glimpse of Daddy. I love sitting back and watching him read to them, teach them their numbers and letters and play games with them after dinner. It’s their bonding moment while I finish cleaning up the dinner dishes. Hearing their laughter from the living room float into the kitchen is a sound I will never forget and never want to stop hearing.

This month could have gone worse when I first spotted chicken pox on both kids, the same day and almost within the same hour little red dots appeared. As always they both have to doing everything together. I was so excited that it wasn’t weeks apart and we could get it over and done with at once. I was also surprised, for the most part, they both seem to be on normal behavior and not too sick with the chicken pox as I had envisioned. So while the last month has mostly been indoors, we still have made some great memories and had a lot of family fun.

I love our little family of four. I look forward to seeing how our relationships between us all grow, change and become stronger each day. I am so lucky to have a husband as my best friend, a daughter that’s so happy and full of life, and a son that is funny and loving. I really do feel like I have won the lottery with them.

    • Thank you so much Laura. Yes it’s definitely a great dynamic having four each one never left out and all can take turns with each other for quality time as well as time together.

    • hahah I do want more but that will never happen. Mr P is very stern about no more children. lol It’s only because I am from a big family. But I do love our dynamics how we are now and I am forever grateful for my two I have.

    • He really can’t go a minute without touching her. Both good and bad really. Sometimes absolutely annoying. lol She gets fed up with it and tries to shake him off it’s hilarious.

    • Ya thanks. We can’t always join in usually because Mr P refuses to take the picture or I can’t get the four of us in the picture and someone to take it. I could do with getting a tripod and a remote really. The last one I did actually get in in March. lol Hoping to keep up with it now. Just have to keep bribing everyone involved!!

  1. You are such a beautiful family! It’s lovely seeing children adore their father, Lucas runs at his Dad everyday when he comes in now and immediately they are playing a game. Hope the pox are on the way out, good to get it over with all together though x

    • Yes pox on the way out thankfully not much hassle really. Not nice looking but scabbed over quickly and already falling off and going away. So happy they both had them exact same time and young to get it over with before our big trip to America in June. lol

    • Hahah I think it’s just easier, two parents two kids two sets of hands to entertain, play and contain each child. hahaha It really is funny to see which wants who and when. Especially if they are being naughty. lol

  2. Aww that’s a gorgeous photo! And harsh as it sounds it’s great that they’re doing chickenpox together – it’s really killer when one gets it just as the first has finished quarantine – and the whole thing starts all over again!

    Reply
    • Yes I thought the same I am so glad it literally was the same day same time so we can get it over and done with. Tough week before as they both were really sick but I am glad it’s the end of it now and I don’t have to be quarantined anymore. HURRAY Freedom!
