Day 24 - Friday, August 28th

What made me smile today?

  • Baby's ability to be so gentle at times
  • Wondering what it means when Baby opens and closes his hands after I brush his teeth
  • Baby exploring new areas of the playground
  • Baby's giggle when he sees me when his dad takes him out of his room after his nap
  • Baby's babbling, and sometimes thinking I'm hearing an English word
  • Baby has a habit of putting his leg on his table, but he's been getting so much better at putting it back down again when I ask

    What triggered me today?

    I don't really remember specifics. I just remembering being grumpy when we came home from the playground in the afternoon as I was quite hot and tired, and I had a huge list of things to get through before I could settle myself again. And dinner again was messy, so that got me a little grumpy too.

    What would I have done differently today?

    I do remember being not as gentle as I would have liked at some point today (can't quite remember the specific scenario anymore!). I wish I could be gentle all the time.

    What will I try to do tomorrow?

    Triggers - breathe! Be gentle. Try not to go on about Baby being messy too much.

    What am I grateful for?

    Discovering the volunteer gardening scheme in the area which focuses on children and the elderly. Baby is too young at the moment to get into gardening, but I do hope that wherever we are in a few years time the council will have a similar scheme. In the meantime I look forward to visiting the garden and farm nearby, maintained by the volunteers.
