There are few things in life that give me as much pleasure as my childrens' quirky mannerisms and rituals. They are little bahaviours that would not be significant to anyone else but me, it can be something they do, or try to do, something they say and they make me feel so honoured to be their parent and these moments are so special to witness.
I want to capture as many of these moments that make me smile to myself before I forget them forever.
Here are some that I remember from the past week, but there are so many of these precious moments taking place everyday, it would take hours to mention them all. Besides, some are just much harder to put into words.
K trying to say a new word or sentence and sounding like a passionate Italian!
For example when he wants a yoghurt or piece of cheese from the fridge that he can't reach he screams:
''mammyyyyy! me! deeeesssa wann!'' (meaning: mummy I want this one)
R trying to impress me by showing me how she can get dressed all by herself and putting on EVERYTHING back to front and I don't have the heart to tell her because I don't want to disappoint her.
My little babies when they have fallen asleep on a long car journey, they look absolutely angelic.
K trying to put his own nappy on. It sounds like nothing but so adorable to witness
When K enters the house, he sits himself down on the bottom step, take of his shoes and socks, and places each sock neatly inside a shoe and places them in his shoe cubby.
When R enters the house, she takes of her shoes and socks without using her hands and leaves them all over the hallway.
R singing in the shower. She has given up taking baths and loves to stand under the shower, singing loudly
R copying what I do to her when disciplining her and applying the discipline to K. If he has done something she disapproves of she takes him by the hand and scolds him while taking him to a corner of the room and instructs him to sit for 2 minutes of thinking time. K will remorsefully oblige. After the 2 minutes are over she will allow him to come out of the thinking corner.
