I'm in Costa Coffee again... no yummy mummies around yet today. At each table sits someone with their laptop open, vibrant apple logo aglow. It's quite soothing if I'm honest, a bit of breathing space amongst the tantrums and toileting that is my job.
The kiddies have been pretty well behaved today. The usual suspects are mellow and relaxed this morning (so far) and we sit outside enjoying the sunshine. One of my key children is away so I'm enjoying the company of just the other two today. One, lets call him 'M', has taken a real shine to me and I've taken to thinking of him as my little shadow. 'M' always has a look of either soulful introspection or slightly ill as a resting expression (beats looking like a bulldog as I do) but I strive to get him to smile on a daily basis.
I'm hitting the parenting books at home now, as well as the development books at work. My latest subject to swat up on is 'tween hormonal changes'. That nine year old in your life can be an enigma so I need to study up on him. Little D continues to match her cuteness with equal measures of stubbornness and musical talent. I was marvelling the other day that my girl has now turned 2! I cannot imagine what life was like before her now and marvel what an epochal change fatherhood actually is. You really don't know what it's like till you're in the middle of it!
Anyway, that's enough for now. Gotta hit the books for 25 mins before getting back to the kiddies.
