I know this is not ‘the last time,’ but still I found myself wistfully observing all the little things baby girl and I do on the daily, on this day, the last day of her school holidays.
It’s been such a busy summer school holiday period. There was Christmas, Christening planning, I had a heap of health issues, and then all of a sudden, bang! There was like, a week left of holidays…
And now here we are. The day before.
I took all of her in as we did our morning walk to help baby boy sleep. She takes charge willingly, pushing the pram for the first part of the trip. I of course let her do this happily – anyone that helps me with one of my many daily things with baby boy I accept graciously.
And I don’t have any family and friends around who can help me on a regular basis, but I realised today she is my person. She is the one I lean on, and this whole time that Hubbie has been working, she has been my constant, day in and day out.
The weather was perfect. Still. Sunny. We stopped at the park as we usually do, and she had a play, before we continued on our journey.
There’s a cat I noticed before the holidays, that would come out of a particular house, it was so friendly and almost coming out to greet me as I’d walk by with the pram, but of course this cat has been awol the entire holiday period…
Until today!
It was actually in the driveway, and I was so happy to finally show baby girl the cat I had mentioned to her.
I love our time together, the things we do, and I already can’t wait until the next holidays (and it’s a short term term 1 too!)
But I am also so happy for her to be starting school, because I know she is. 🥰🥰
