This morning in the moments of chaos (somewhat ordered) there was many moments of connections, beautiful simple connections from all three children.
This morning the kids were all excited as there are some new DVD’s in the house for when mummy is away and daddy needs a moment. Excitement was high.
This morning as we all staggered about the house getting breakfasted and dressed I sat at the table with just Elijah having some breakfast and for part of it we held hands and chatted, about 3 yr old things, “why don’t we get cheerio’s?” “how much power is in that light bulb?!” he chatted about his favourite preschool teachers. It was a somewhat normal 3yr old conversation he did also ask for an Iphone, to call people on and play handy many, this conversation held with it good eye contact, hand holding and smiling. Simple but wonderful, just the quiet moment with Elijah.
Caiden this morning was simply the most animated I have seen him in a morning for a few months, beautiful eye contact and he initiated two hugs!! Just walked up and hugged me, the last few weeks on offering of physical contact he has either responded no or just a little one, last night in his sleepy state on the way from the toilet he gave me a huge beautiful hug, this morning I got two, they were worth the wait. I see the value of his physical touch. I see in him at times how hard that is and know, there are times he does it as he knows it is something mum wants not something he wants or craves.
My Lilliana (the last up!) was calm, not her usual bouncy bumping into walls, calm and animated (those that are worried she is fine!) her speech was rapid and her hand did allot of movement, but there was purpose to most of her movements this morning, less flinging her limbs about more purpose. Lilliana was focused and her conversations were happy and excited (that is something I do truly love about her) but she not get distracted by the shiny objects around her or her own flippy hair! Lilliana was present for an entire lengthy conversation (lengthy for her!)
This morning in the chaos there was simple beauty, there was some of our hard work winking back at us.
