Seriously. Where is the time going? I'm soaking up my little family right now and all things crafty are on the backburner for the moment. We've suddenly hit a big period of growth, exactly the same time as last year, where I feel I need to stay focused on what's really important.
Parenthood is full of suprises isn't it? Today, my up-until-very-recently-terrified-of-water son (yes, the one who cried his way through the last two courses of swimming lessons) swam.
Let go of the teacher and swam.
I couldn't believe it. He was so proud of himself. I cried.
Later on this evening, I found the two of them snuggled up in bed with Ruby reading a story to Tommy. A chapter book that I thought was way beyond her reading ability. She was so excited "I can read it Mummy!".
Amazing how things suddenly click into place.
How can they be growing up so fast?
PS In case you're wondering, the picture is part of a human alphabet project we're working on - inspired by this and this.
