Where they are. right now. #motivationalmonday #mondayclub #magicmoments #whatsthestory

This is the FRENCH edition..we are currently on holiday and im entrusting these posts to WordPress scheduling so who knows if it will work. 😉

This months theme on motivational monday is children. Hey..guess what…

I have a few of those;)

So i thought i would give a little run down of each of the little folk who dwell here in this dwelling.

Today it is the turn of my third baby. Our sweet little girl who shocked us arriving such a short time after her sister. Only one school year separates them. Few months earlier and she would have been in the SAME school year as her sister! EEP!

She was an incredibly good baby and I remember thinking how easily she fit in. We used a double buggy by that stage that had a cute little baby bag carry cot thing and she spent a long time in that during the day. She was our first baby in a bag 😉

Anyway so right now, this little bundle of titian haired beauty is:

• She is fiercely independent. The ‘I DO IT! started very early on with her and she is still very much the same
• She loves animals, although perhaps not quite as much as her sister. 😉
• She is a very talented dancer and we have had ‘talks’ from her dance teacher about how good she thinks she is and how she has the ideal character and personality to be a dancer (which I think was a way of telling us that her being so stubborn is a good thing!)
• She loves performing. She was the only kid in her year 2 nativity play that did a solo dance on stage at the very beginning of the play. In her final year report her teacher wrote ‘perhaps Broadway beckons?’
• She is a good ‘helper’ at school and her teachers are always saying how wonderfully polite and helpful she is. The OH and I have stopped looking at each other in surprise when we get told this now as it seems that those tendencies don’t always stretch to home life as well. 😉
• She struggles being younger than her sister sometimes and being left out of things because she is not old enough to do them. To her, they are the same. To her older sister they most definitely are not 😉
• She has the most incredible, contagious laugh
• She is the only one of my children who has the hereditary condition of astigmatism and has to wear glasses as a result. The others have all been tested since she was diagnosed. She is so good about wearing her glasses that her vision has improved so much. We just tell her that one of her eyes is shaped in a different way and that the glasses help to tell her brain how to use that eye. We have been through a LOT of pairs of glasses though!
• She has a ‘have-a-go’ attitude. At the bottom of the post I have included a video of her skiing. She was just 4 when we first went and we just put her in ski school and off she went without complaining and this was taken on the second to last day. (turned into more days actually thanks to a certain Icelandic cloud!) But she just pointed herself down the slope and off she went. We just take it for granted really that she will get stuck in and it wasn’t until I was chatting to someone else who took their nearly 4 year old boy on a skiing holiday and they said how he didn’t really want to go to ski school and was so tired after a few hours that we realised ‘oh!’ 😉 Just notice how she is NOT wearing a coat, or gloves or her goggles. That sort of describes her. Doing it. but in her own way!
• She has a full dose of the celtic blood, red hair, blue eyes and freckles. We think she is simply stunning!
