Christmas Holidays… And the brats are like magnets. Especially the littlest one – you’d think I have a habit of disappearing into thin air. We’re joined at the hip these days – my hip, his bum. Joined. As if by very powerful magnetism.
#5 Brat is away at her grandparents’ house, which is probably why little Miracle Boy is so sorry that I don’t have fur, so he can cling onto me permanently all by himself.
I love him to bits – it just gets a liiittle bit tiresome after 6 hours of incessant chatting, wanting to sit on my lap and doing what I do. There is some light relief in the big ones, he can be persuaded to go and bother them from time to time, but after a maximum of 10 minutes, he’s back, wondering if I’ve disappeared yet.
It’s a phase, I know. And I do enjoy the feeling of clean Brat in the evening, cuddling up to me in his jammies before bedtime. Do forgive me, Miracle Boy, if I equally enjoy the after bedtime hours…
Stumble it!

Isn’t it amazing how these little ones just get cuter and cuter by the minute though? He is one handsome little fellow for sure! I know the feelings of which you speak -sitting with a clean toddler, all dressed in his jammies, a little bit of rocking time, as he cuddles and damned if it doesn’t make me cry. Part of you just wants to keep them that size, that sweet, loving and innocent and then, the evil part wants to see them learn and learn some more, knowing full well, with the addition of each tidbit of knowledge they are then able to get into so many more things. But even worse, they are drawing away from us minute by minute then too. It’s such a sad but pleasurable thing so much of the time -this child-rearing business, isn’t it?

My 19 month old is like that. I sit on the couch and he wants in my lap, but he doesn’t just sit there, he wants to climb all over me as thought he wants to climb on my head… I too enjoy the hours after bed time.
I am blog hopping tonight – Happy New Year!!
