Dirt makes us happy

It goes without saying that our lives and daily routine have changed since moving. But this change has proven to be such a welcoming one. An inspiration to be exact. There’s an ease that comes with everything we do. Perhaps it is because I feel Georgie has the kind of freedom here he couldn’t really have in the flat. Perhaps it’s because we are in touch with nature on a day to day basis- fresh air can do you the world of good, right? Cooking in the evenings has become a soothing transition, green smoothies in the morning are keeping me high and happy. Water and dirt does the same for my little dude.

Two

I looked at the clock tonight at precisely the time Georgie was born two years ago. And then I looked at my sweet little boy playing with his wind-up toy car on the floor. Yep. Time flies. But honestly, I didn’t dwell on that side of it too much. Oddly enough, I only got teary once today and I was thrilled to throw him a little party and finally get him that Ikea mini kitchen he loves so much. He makes me tea and then he makes me laugh.

my boy

                    One week away was more than enough for me to admit that my baby has become a little boy. In exactly one month from now he will be turning two. Last night, papa and I watched a few -ok, alot!- of videos from when Georgie was just a wee baby. Oh how time has passed. I could’ve sworn a year ago was just yesterday because it feels like that. I am not noticing how fast he is growing. It’s slipping through my hands. But you know what? It’s ok. Because my little dude is becoming a person. An opinionated character with never-ending energy. A day spent with him is a day well spent. He screams at the top of his lungs and runs around in circles. Also he loves jumping from one couch to another or chair or table; whichever is furthest. He helps bring the dirty laundry to the washing machine and even grabs a wet wipe when something needs cleaning! He hugs me every so tightly and kisses me gently on the mouth and then says Mama and I die happy. Right there.

this face

     Through a ring of chaos and stress this past week, this face has managed to keep me smiling, singing and steaming with determination. Anyone who has a happy toddler in their lives, knows what I am talking about. I could’ve easily chosen to spend my evenings in front of the telly, avoid blogging and order take out because that is exactly what I felt like doing. Instead I made lasagna for the first time and finally managed to pull together a little video, which is something I have wanted to do for a very long time. It’s not just about keeping busy and avoiding ill thoughts. It’s about doing something I am proud of and besides this face, I am proud of so much more. Even a plate of lasagna.

two little birds

[vimeo clip_id= http://www.vimeo.com/57091005 w=500&h=281] Since my mum is away, I’ve taken on a double duty watching my sister’s little one, Achilleas, while she’s at work. Just 23 days older than Georgie and with a mighty temper, I woke up at 6.30 on Monday morning to welcome A expecting the worse. But bloody hell, how wrong was I! Give them paints and you can bake a big batch of chocolate chip cookies with minimal intervention as well as check your e-mails. I loved spending time with them, watching them  interact, becoming mini men.
