Ramblings

The Big One is away for a 1 week reservist stint and yes, we miss him a lot a home. Especially the Little One, who i think misses the daddy who will rough it out with him and play "horsie" where he gets to climb on the Big One and ride him like a horse. Not that the Big One's back can take it that well, but he gallently lets the Little One ride it every night :) Let's just hope that his back can withstand another little boy on it!
This week happens to be quite a hell week at work too.. so that doesn't help. Its nice to hear the Little One calling out for me the minute i step through the door. It makes everything at work that much more bearable and reminds me that i need to make full use of the maternity leave and be with the kids more. I do miss working parttime and being there more for the Little One and more time for myself. But for now, i need to finish up my work! so that i can go on maternity in peace :)
Was spending story time with the Little One who tonight, insisted on drawing. So i took out the paper and colour pencils and let him doddle. He suprised me by being able to name a smile face that i drew out for him! and he draw long straight lines that he tells me is a dinosaur! and then he went to draw a house that ehrm, looked nothing like a house. But cheers for the effort! We are keeping him at home these few days cos lots of kids are sick in school and he hasn't really recovered fully from the block nose attack. Am hoping that the good weather stays this way for us, with lots of sunshine and clear skies so that there will not be another relapse. So he gets to terrorise aunty sari the whole day at home and watch loads to TV!
Am sleepy now so am going to go to bed soon.. weight check on the little One on sat: 16.1kg :)
