Last Sunday, isaac's buddy came over for a few hours in the afternoon, Maisie was at a friends house and so Poppy and I cycled to the local park, fed the ducks, climbed the climbing frame and came home. It was short but it was really so good. It put a great big smiley face in the box next to the question 'quality time with your kids'
And it helps you to remember what you actually 'love' about that individual child. Poppy has changed a lot recently. Her pre school year was hard on us both and she was cross a lot. But school has been so incredible for her, giving her independence and also stimulating her very bright little mind.
It was pretty awesome hanging out with her and oh.my.goodness…how easy?! 5 kids down to one is going to feel like a vacation right?
She was made up and had a go at cycling on the roads instead of pavement. So very grown up! She got a lot of mileage out of telling her brother and sister what a great time she had! Gotta love sibling relationships!
