We were having a tough morning, with lots of big emotions from both children. Jon took Jake to football this morning and I took Zoe on a walk. She ran into a field, doing a primal scream, flossed for a bit 💃🏼 then chased a crow, caw-ing loudly. It looked therapeutic! 😂 We played in a park, tried out some exercise equipment, ran around a bit more, then sat down to read our books for a bit.

Jake was talking (for the umpteenth time this week) about who's the tallest, fastest and strongest in his class, and Zoe came out with this gem. ❤️

When I got home from a hen do yesterday, J said "I knew you'd come back!" then a few mins later, "I thought you might not come back."
He "knows," but he doesn't FEEL it. is complicated. I'm his 3rd Mum. I hope one day he'll feel it. He's reassured by visible gestures of love, so I arranged his cereal buffet (he likes it dry) into hearts this morning, on his fave chopping board.

Zoe's World Book Day costume is... Herself, as featured in "Adopting a Little Brother or Sister" by... Us! 🤣

The big sister character in this story was strongly based on Zoe, and she illustrated the book, so it's very close to our hearts 🥰

My son drew this angry face. Apparently it's angry because it's somewhere it doesn't want to be, "but it will have fun really." Sounds familiar 😂
