It's That Time Already ?!

in our church, at the age of 18 months old a child can enter into a program called "Nursery"

it' a fantastic program, it teaches a toddler from the early ages simple lessons about who they are and where they have come from - not to mention mum gets 2 hours without them *fist pump*

so today was the day my baby boy went in and has his first nursery experience.

i get emotional whenever any events happen in my boys lives.

whoever would have guessed.
i took him in and stayed with him for 5 mins, honestly i did not want to leave him we havent been apart at church for 18 months.
as i kissed him and said have fun bracky boy bye, i had one last look back before i shut the door and saw in his eyes the baby that still will always have my heart no matter how big he gets, or how cheeky and obnoxious he will get.
it's funny they say you never know a love until you become a mother and boy, were they right.
it's a different love to everything else, it's unconditional and does not alter. it's loyal and fierce and one that lasts longer than a lifetime.
as my two boys grow into men i feel privileged to be able to call myself there mother, and feel honoured to be able to witness their life stories unfold.

Oldie, But A Goodie

friday's is Mum & Bracky Day.

i love the day because i finally get to focus all my attention on my baby boy.

he came into this world by a close 19 months after his older brother.

so as you can imagine i've never really just been able to sit down and have one to one time with him.

pre-school is AWESOME - this gives me the time to focus all my attention on this little guy.

he is the cheekiest out of the two (would you believe).

they say you get one like yourself, and boy is braxton ALL me - Hello Karma.

i like to do something with him each friday, I call it The Mummy Dates.

I have them with each of the boys.

whether it be going into the shops and getting a treat or going for a drive to see the ducks, today because (I'M BROKE, WAHH) i decided we would do Bracky's all time favourite thing - visit The park.

cost effective but yet fun.

so i put him in the pram and off we went down to our local park - which i love.

it has an old shed that was used for farming, it's got the old wooden farm gates, there's a lake with all sorts of ducks and it has the all important slide and swings.

he was so excited he did not want to come home for nap time.

i love taking my boys to the park, as mentioned IT'S FREE : ), but they run around get all their energy out, without being told "Stop touching that, Don't do that to your brother, Ok, time out to the chair."

there is so much to explore, they find the simplest things wonderful and want to talk your ear off.

they can climb on things without falling down, or without being old off.

it's an oldie but it's a goodie : ).
