Little School

It’s been an exciting couple of weeks for Rose.  She was accepted into a local community pre-school.  She’s really loving it and doing so well.  A friend said they thought such a milestone was “post worthy” and I was thinking about writing something but tonight, her teacher wrote something on her Storypark account that says it all really..

Happy Birthday, Rose!

Posted on March 8, 2014 by

Today is Rose’s first birthday.  It’s strange to contemplate celebrating a birthday before she’s a year old.  At the moment 18 May, her due date, feels a lot more like a milestone for her but as the years go by this day will become the same sort of day it is for full term babies so best to start as we mean to continue.  I had planned to have a big celebration and invite everyone who helped get us to this point but after negotiating James and Daniel out of birthday parties this year as I just wasn’t able to even begin to coordinate “events” I realised it probably wasn’t going to be achievable.  I’m still hopeful our home life is going to become more manageable with the help of a generous and talented lady, Ali who’s helping me achieve some of the things I need to to get our family life back.

Baby Glasses

Posted on December 19, 2013 by

After much online research and even some old fashioned calling around and speaking to ACTUAL people I settled on baby glasses from Tomato Glasses, I found an excellent blog post from a mother who seemed to have tried them all and settled on the design we’ve gone with so hopefully they’ll work well for Rose.
