The air of excitement
At home at the moment is a building of excitement and anticipation. In our household this can change swiftly into anxiety and poor coping. For the moment I am focused on the excitement!
The excitement is mother’s day (see why I am excited!) The kids this year have latched on to the idea of mothers day it’s simply a birthday for mothers, a GIANT one.
This year marks my first tangle with the mother’s day stall.(Wish me well!, have already been told to expect a “groovy” necklace The youngest two had a mother’s day stall at their day care. Since purchasing things from the stall I have been presented with packaged goods and of course by Lilliana told what is inside. Elijah has told me simply “its a present for you mum”.
There are gifts galore the youngest two have made something at preschool and Caiden has also made something at school.
The presents at the moment are a focus.
As yet none of these have been opened.
It’s amazing to watch them all excited over something and have an understanding about why they are excited. To have all three of my children grasping at the same thing at the same time is HUGE progress for us. It shows how they are participating and understanding the outside world. This is a glimpse of reality, and yes I am high on it!
This year due to the excitement we made a decision let’s keep it at a level that (hopefully) the children can manage. Let make it a home day.
This year’s plans are a sleep in for mum, and in the evening a pizza pyjama party watching Gnomeo and Juliet. To simply hang in our comfort zone doing something they are all comfortable with. With their daily people.
