Mommy Monday: Life Right Now

Organising her "big girl pants" (welcome to the world of potty training...eek)

This is what our life looks like right now! It seems like every time we travel, one or both of our kids gets sick. Unfortunately for Emilia, this time it was her. She got hit with a nasty cold so she has been sniffling & snuffling all day...although I did manage to bring her to ballet class this morning as she absolutely adores it and wouldn't miss it for the world! When I asked her if she still wanted to go she shrieked with excitement! 

Poor Eduardo wasn't spared either as he has been doing some major teething lately. Today it all came to a head (of course it did!) and he woke up from his nap with a temperature and in a rotten mood. Which, for a baby like Eduardo who is normally so happy & smiley is very out of character! The worst thing about all of this is that whenever Emilia gets sick she becomes extremely clingy towards me...and obviously same goes for Eduardo when he's teething. So today I basically had two miserable babies joined at my hip at all times! Hopefully tomorrow they will be feeling a bit better. At this time, Calpol, Teetha & Bonjela are my best friends. 

The joys of motherhood, eh? ;) And I wonder why my blog posts are always late...ha ha ha!

  5. Knowing Emilia is now transitioning into the "big girl pants" stage is so scary seeing as it only seemed like yesterday you were picking up size 2/3 Nappies for her. Absolutely amazing at what a beautiful little girl she's growing up to be. Not forgetting little Eduardo either :) I take my hat off to you Anna (and Jofee) You're both doing an amazing job :)xxx

  9. My baby has had a teething rash for a while now and I was wondering if you have experienced this and if you have any advice on how to help. Thanks so much.

  10. AWW Anna, I know how you feel! Take it from a mother of two grown daughters, these wonderful years go by very fast. It can be incredibly hard sometimes but it is fleeting. You're a wonderful mother, before you know it your kids will be adults and you'll barley remember the really tough days. Think about that when it's hard, it'll help you get through the tough days.

  38. I love how Emilia is organizing her big girl underwear. LOL. I had to get Michael Mickey undies because it is the only way he would possibly be interested in potty training! By the way, your new profile photo is beautiful.
