Rebirth

Mummy has been in a new job, new school(s) and new vocation since March this year. It has been an exciting, gruelling, crazy time! New faces, new friends, new skills and new challenges.

Right now I'm almost half-way through school. Assignments and deadlines are plenty, I'm still surviving. I try not to panic, and I try to pace myself. It's a long journey ahead, no point burning out now.

I'm enjoying Dominic so much now. He's a handful but such a cutie! The house is full of his singing and chatting. He can really sing and dance now. He'd sing his favourite songs, his nursery rhymes. He'd dance along to the DVDs or the rhymes. Not pitch perfect but perfect to mummy's ears :) He's an amazingly fast learner. He loves buses, trains, vehicles, books and puzzles. He can reason and use logic, so we're dealing with a little boy now, no longer a baby. He's so funny! He does something funny and new everyday. The other evening he watched a VCD and saw a seal moving/flopping across the beach. Then he got down on his tummy and wiggled about, and bopped his head! Hilarious!

Dominic throws a tantrum because of a clash of wills, or when he wants something he can't get. So we really need a new bag of tricks to distract or reason with him. He currently attends a Saturday music class which he really enjoys.

The next step is school. Wonder how that'll go?

My favourite time with Dominic is when we cuddle, or just spend time lying in bed, chatting about the day, or about things like music class. He likes to sit in my lap to read, laze, chat, or sprawl across my lap to play his buses on the floor. I'm his cushioned chair! I also love it when he hugs me and nuzzles my face and neck. Lately he has taken to kissing me on my lips! What a darling boy!
