I am aware that most of my writing about the kids has been about the stress and strains of being a mother. Just to set the record straight, I want you to know that I LOVE being a mother and my kids are absolutely great! In my totally biased ‘I’m their mother’ opinion – they are the best kids ever, I love them all equally, totally and unconditionally (no matter how stressful my day!). I miss them when they’re not around and I love being with them. I guess it’s easier to write about the stresses of my days, they are the things that stick in your mind. Sharing a book together is not going to be the thing you necessarily remember if the wheel of the buggy breaks on the way to school!!
So to set the record straight, I’m going to share some of the fun times, like when Hannah and Georgia give each other a kiss and cuddle if either of them is hurt and how Georgia said the other day that Hannah was her ‘best friend’! or the way they sit together on Abbie’s chair for their lunch when she’s at school. How Millie looks after Hannah and Georgia, plays with them, takes Hannah to the toilet, fetches things for them and makes them giggle. How Abbie and Millie held hands all the way to school on Millie’s visit day. How Abbie made me a new bowl out of cardboard when one of my favourite bowls got smashed or how Rob found a little picture of a heart under his pillow with ‘Dad’ written on it. How sometimes, only a cuddle from Mummy will do! How they all love to help with baking (that can be a mixed blessing!!) and how they all love to do craft. How Abbie reads stories to the others and the time that Abbie and Millie decided to sleep in the same bed. Abbie and Millie used to love feeding, changing, helping and trying to teach Hannah and Georgia words when they were younger. They all make me laugh and smile a hundred times a day, admittedly they can make enough mess to keep a full time cleaner busy for weeks and they are hard work and constant. They are my kids, they’re great, they’re 100% cute and sweet and I love them!
