what georgie wore

     It’s uncommonly cold here on the island. I’ve been running errands all day -including changing my hair colour; natural hues were inspiring me- and relishing the moments of wooly hats and warm leggings. We did some shopping in the morning because I needed to stock up on all-in-ones for Georgie. He’s outgrowing everything!  I picked up a few long-sleeved t-shirts from Benetton -including this awesome black Thor shirt- as they had a 50% discount and some pj’s from Debenhmas. A Happy Meal was our food of choice for lunch and an early afternoon nap followed shortly after. Wrap up warm, guys. There might be a chance of snow!

all that matters

      My parents left for London this afternoon. My daddy needs surgery. Sigh. I have been writing and deleting wondering if this is something i truly want to share here on the blog. But you know what?  It is. Because this is a trying time for my family and this blog is about both the good times and bad that I know all families have. The photos are a reminder to me and Georgie that despite these difficult times, we were surrounded by loved ones. And that’s all that  matters.

conversations

       I was washing the dishes when I heard Georgie saying ‘ello’ back to the TV and then repeating the word ‘apple’. My little dude is growing. Fast. He mumbles all sorts and is building a vocabulary all his own. I really cannot wrap my head around the fact that soon we will be having conversations and he’ll be blowing my mind with the kind of childish fantasy I crave in life. He says the word ‘ne’ – Greek for yes- in a number of voices and tones depending on the question. He can name both grandmothers. He calls his auntie Soula ‘Sasa’ and screams ‘BAAAA’ every time a bus goes by.

broom! broom!

    I asked Georgie what he wanted for Christmas a month ago and up until the day, the answer was always: Tachter! He has a slight obsession with this farming vehicle no doubt brought on by his grandfather’s mini digger and his dad’s race car and their own obsessions with four-wheeled goodies. A week ago he even said ‘ellow’ as in yellow! A yellow and green super monster tractor was just what he got from his grandparents who probably didn’t consider their daughter-in-law would take on the role of chauffeur! I laughed my head off and can’t wait to move into our gorgeous home equipped with a big garden for tractor racing!

Christmas morning

       So the day has come and gone but those few hours spent just the three of us on Christmas morning were how I imagined them to be. Warm, funny and sweet. We met up with the entire family later on that day and got to try out Georgie’s new tractor! To be exact, I got to try it out! More funny to come tomorrow. Hope you’re feeling the love!
