many of my days now are full of peeling apples for little hands, and listening to the sound of giggles and pitter patter feet running up the hallway
our soundtrack is the new sleep token album, and when he’s really bothered, I’ll sing twinkle twinkle little star while he twirls my hair
a tiny little (almost 2 year old) force to be reckoned with. he hugs everyone and everything (including his favourite books), he blows kisses, stompy stamps his feet, squeals with joy, and laughs all day
he falls asleep every night holding my face and snuggled in as close to me as he can get. we wake up in the morning, with snotty slobbery kisses, and lots of chasing to get his clothes changed
he is running all over the place, and is actually pretty fast. he loves doing ‘big jumps’ and will say ‘oopies’ (not oopsies) when he makes a mistake
he puts all his toys back when he’s finished playing, and will always want to be reading a book over anything else (except going to the park)
my husband’s genes really didn’t even try because the tiny guy looks just like his mama. he has even my tiniest little details like the shapes of my ears, and the slight folds of my toes. his skin and hair, the exact same shades as mine. his mannerisms and facial expressions are mirror images to what I looked like at his age.
he is speaking so much now, and will always remind himself that he’s safe by saying ‘mummy’s here’ and ‘daddy’s here’ when he needs a little reassurance. he’s memorised saying this by the countless number of times we’ve told him ourselves. and we’ll continue saying it until we take our last breath
nothing has compared to becoming a mother, I’ve never experienced anything like this shift before. I have never known such peace, happiness and pure wonder. I didn’t know what to expect before, but now it just feels so right. I was so fortunate to have the easiest pregnancy, and the most chill easy going baby in the world, but I truly cannot complain about motherhood at all. did we both almost die after 35 hours of unmedicated labour? maybe… but besides THAT, I’m so obsessed with my sweet angel, he’s the best part of my whole world, I’m so so lucky
my greatest gift, my most honest teacher, and my bestest little friend. life with him has made everything worth it, and I’m so grateful every day that I get to see the world through his beautiful little eyes
my son looks at me like I put the stars in the sky, and to him, I very well may have
it’s midnight now, and I have a 2nd birthday party to plan. god I love this little life
