So...just got back from 10 days around the country visiting great grandparents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. It was brilliant to see MLA enjoying everyone's company and to see how much they enjoyed his.He has really seemed to have blossomed these last few weeks and it has been amazing to watch and be part of. I had a not insignificant birthday just before Christmas which meant that we went away for the night leaving him with grandparents, cousins, uncles and aunts and by all accounts he had a whale of a time. It felt like a mixed blessing going away, on the one hand it was amazing to be able to lie in bed watching a film, but on the other I really did miss the pitter patter of tiny feet even though it was only for 24 hours, still it was excellent to get away and to spend some time just the two of us.
We didn't do a huge amount over the holiday, but really it was nice to spend some time and just "be," talking to people, walking and enjoying everyone's company. In a way this feels like a golden time, MLA is pretty easy and seems to be better company with every week that goes past, we are all healthy and this feels like a time to be treasured. A friend who has a three year old told me that he has now started going to the loo on his own and shuts the door when he goes, she said it made her realise that the stage when they are reliant on you is so fleeting, so I want to make the most of each and every moment.
I have another week before I return to work, so going to try and have some adventures this week, am thinking the Aquarium and possibly Whitstable if the weather holds...fingers crossed.
