Little Ray of Sunshine.

in Life

I have been down lately.

Very down.

We didn’t try and conceive this month, despite me knowing when I was ovulating. We just, didn’t try. I am still grieving for the loss of hope a little.

However, not having the build up to my period will be nice. Knowing that I HAVE to stock up on tampons, rather than run out at 3am and silently curse the gods (and then curse Nathan when I realise that he no longer has a mobile phone and I can’t ring him to PICK ME UP SOME DAMN TAMPONS OR MY PMS? WILL KILL YOU AND I WON’T BE RESPONSIBLE).

Ahem.

However, I seem to have this small child who just won’t let me wallow.

See, I was all sad (again, lets just blame it on hormones and feeling grief for friends) about not trying this month and OMG a whole bunch of stuff and Amy climbed into my lap.

She started singing, ‘Mummeeeee holda babeeeeee, mummeeeeeee an babeeeeeee’ very softly as I hugged her.

Then she pulled my head down, so my cheek was against her forehead, and told me quite sternly when I tried to move ‘No! Mummeee hugss pleas.’

Then I died from the cute.

Then she does things like this –

She is OBVIOUSLY practising her regal look for when she marries a prince. Thankyou Nathan for taking this photo while I was out, getting a much needed sanity saving break. <3

This one is classic though. This was taken this evening. At 9.30pm. 1.5 hours AFTER I put Amy to bed.

Yes, those are indeed a pair of my underwear. Yes, she did indeed put them on herself. The pointing? She was asking to be placed back into bed, WHILE STILL WEARING THE UNDERWEAR.

No, I didn’t let her keep them on.

No, I have no idea why they were in her cupboard.

This afternoon when I had to resettle her, I discovered her wearing a size 000 bodysuit around her waist and 2 singlets on each leg. I think it is time I did some serious teaching of what clothes go where.

And how to put them away after you pull them out of the drawer.

I love my daughter.

I’m convinced that buying a jumbo box of tampons is exactly what got me pregnant these last two times. It’s worth a try!

Sweet.

Not the tampons bit, obviously.

Somebody took that picture when the wrong female was wearing that underwear. Phooey.

Sweet, she’ll be dressing herself in no time. At least she already knows where the tiara goes.
I’m wondering about this almost universal trend of saying pair of underwear. Underwear covers everything that goes next to the skin UNDER regular outer clothing, that would be knickers/underpants, bras, singlets/vests, petticoats. Why can’t people just say a pair of my underpants/knickers/panties? Pair of underwear just sounds wrong to me.
The pictures are gorgeous by the way. Amy certainly brings on the smiles.

hugs. Veronica. hugs.
Kids have a funny way of keeping you buoyed but you be kind to you, ok?

Be sure to remind her of her love for layers when she tries out the hoochie look.

Amy is a wild thing. That girl is funny!

Ugh. Sorry about the lack of conception. I didn’t realize you’d been trying for so long. Ugh.

Your daughter is sweet and she’s looking funny in the second pic with your underwear over her dress. But, she’s sweet!
