Advice and loving my girls!

Im embarrassing them now on occasions without even realising it.

But every story I read is about how much of a pain they are! I’m the first to whine & moan about their every tantrum, there are times they reduce me to worries & tears, & my god they are hard work. But I have amazing kids & they are my life, my world & everything that keeps them going.

I know that over the next few years they are going to change. So here are all the things they do I love

• When they tell me they love me
• When they sneak into my bed in a morning for a cuddle
• When the tell me they’ve tidied up their room when they haven’t (OK so I don’t love that)
• When we bake (especially when we get it so it tastes right)
• When they make me a cup of tea
• When they ask if they can share the room & I find them cuddled up sleeping, when they have spent the whole day arguing
• When I prize their tablets off them & catch them reading or colouring & being happy about it
• When they dance around to whatever Saturday night programme is on tv
• When they play dress up still
• When they tell me how much they miss Grandma, Nan, Umpsy & Kirsty
• When they do chores to “be nice” & then ask for something
• When I see them just being kids & loving life & not thinking or worrying

They are crazy, funny & crackers & with everything they’ve been through they’ve become so resilient! Love them with all my heart!
