An update

Filed under Just Me, Parenting & kids

And then every other day I get someone bugging me to update the site. I promise them yes, but then I get online, I get distracted, and the whole business of keeping this place spick and span and relevant to the times totally zooms past my head.

This is the update that I forgot to post last week.

Today is Eric's birthday.

Two days from now Paul is going to be four months old.

Before Paul came into my life I would be looking at pretty clothes and planning when and how to buy them.

Now I get out, with the intention to buy somethings to add to my wardrobe, because my mom and my aunt are bugging me to dress up and be pretty again 'Choo Ki, you look so aunty these days! Don't turn baby into an excuse to become a housewifey motherly person.'

And then I get out, I walk past Mothercare or Mom's Care or FOS Kids or Osh Kosh and all the plans to buy clothes to keep my own wardrobe updated dissipate and I'm walking around the aisles, looking at prams, and bottles and teats and feeding bowls and spoons, and those cutesy little T-shirts with smart one liners. Or cute little young-boy pants that can make him look cute. And PAUL IS A BOY! OMG… imagine if we had had a Pauline instead, I think I'd be going crazy with all those cute little lacey rompers and pretty flowery dresses.

But, here's Paul at 3 Months ++.

And Paul having some father-son time with today's birthday boy, Eric!

I so love my two boys!!
