Life... just passing us by.

It feels like forever ago that I had time to sit down and "blog" all about the boys and our life as a family of four. I'll let you in on a secret... I'm procrastinating right now so taking full advantage of my time out to do something productive (kind of). It has almost been 6 months since my last post and when I think about how quickly that time has whizzed past, I feel a little scared. Scared that life is passing us by, the boys are growing, I'm getting old and wrinkly (no grey hairs yet!) and wondering if we are making the very most of each day. I hope I am telling the boys that I love them enough. That I am hugging them enough. That I am making the right decisions as a mum. The right ones that are going to shape who they are in the future because that seems to be creeping up quickly.



The boys have done so much growing! It is hard to believe that Lucas will be turning 4 in five months time and Flynn is almost 18 months old. They do the usual "boy" thing and fight, get into mischief together which is mostly Lucas'doing but they love playing with each other and Flynn really misses Lucas when he isn't here. They run around the house, sit and eat their snacks and read books together. Lucas can be such a sweet big brother but he really has to be in the mood for that. God help me when they are teenagers with the testosterone overload in our household!

We have been working on the alphabet and pronunciation of letters with Lucas. He has got colours down pat and does not stop talking. And to think I was worried about his regression in speech!! He cracks jokes and asks lots of questions and sings. I am holding onto the same hope that maybe Flynn will follow the same path. He has regressed with his talking (but that is probably due to having a big brother that speaks for him) but can say "banana", "meow" and "ball" and understands everything that we say to him. He has been fully weaned for the last 3 weeks and is sleeping in his toddler bed and sharing a room with Lucas. Flynn has slept through the night twice since weaning and we all know how horrible of a sleeper he was before that! I am so proud of him, he has had lots of changes happen lately and handled them all like a true champ. Must take after his Mum.

Lucas and Flynn have adjusted so well from having a full time stay-at-home mum to a full time student stress-head mum. They have to share their time with text books and assignments and if I sat too long and thought about it, I would feel sad about that. I have to remind myself that this is for our family and thinking of the boys is my driving force to succeed. I have 4 and a half semesters to go. Eighteen more months of my Bachelor of Nursing and I will be graduating. 'Just keep swimming'......
