A Walk In The Park

Today the kids and I took a walk and do you know what I realised - life is getting easier and every day is now enjoyable and fun rather than just 12 hours that we have to reach the end of. It is no longer a trial getting out of the house, our routines run like clockwork (well a clock that loses a few minutes occasionally) and I seem to have a handle on keeping some kind of balance to the day.

D Boy is now crawling and I remember that this was the point that I REALLY started to enjoy the Princess. Instead of just crying for you they can come and find you and instead of waiting for entertainment they go find it. Constantly. It's great fun and I love hearing the little patter of him crawling into the kitchen to wave 'hi' and suck on a plastic spoon.

I have just been watching a documentary about Jackie Clune and her 4 kids and I am pleased to say I am counting my blessings and filled with admiration for her and her partner. Can you imagine having a 2 year old AND triplets. Amazing.

I love Jackie anyway, she is a really clever, talented woman if you haven't ever seen or heard her you should - we were lucky enough to see her in Taboo in the west end and she blew me away, but the way her and her partner cope with their kids is inspirational and make me realise just how darn easy my life actually is.
