Time out.

So I am definitely finding it hard to write in this blog as I need space without the kids by myself to do it! Life is full on at the moment! Parenting two little kids is amazing and amazingly busy!! Time out is hard to come by these days and to think back when I was single with no kids and had as much time as I wanted, I totally took it for granted. I now appreciate every spare moment I get and try to take time out so that I can refresh and be ready when the kids wake up! I try to be a great mum and I love being a mum, but I definitely need to work on my attitude when I get woken up during the night and then have to get out of bed bright and early in the morning!
Judah is at such a cute age right now, he is 2 & 1/2 and talking away. Half of what he says makes sense and half of it doesn't, he he. He loves to drum, he has been fiercely passionate about drumming ever since he got some drumsticks in his hands at 1 year old at Noah's rock star party. Its so amazing how much he loves drumming and music. He doesn't really love to watch movies on tv like a lot of other kids his age, he much prefers the Wiggles or Hi-five (something musical) and even then he can't sit still, he will often drum on the lounge while watching them. He also loves the outdoors and now has a backyard to play in, he loves it!

Charlotte is now 8 months old!! Can't believe it, 4 months until she is 1 year old! She is the most gorgeous, adorable, happy baby. She has been 'commando' crawling since she was six months old and is very close to crawling on her knees. She loves crawling all around the house, into her room, into Judah's room and just loves to follow Judah around. They play so well together already and there is an amazing bond between Judah and Charlotte. I had no idea that a baby and a toddler could connect so well. They are both very social and both prefer to have the other one around than just be playing by themselves. Charlotte is amazing at going to sleep now, especially during the day, sometimes we will get the odd tantrum or two, but she is great at self settling to sleep. I can tell Char Char loves music as well as she tries to bop around a bit and tap her hand on the floor whenever there is music on or Judah is dancing. I don't think our kids can really escape music as it is around them at home, in the car and at church.

Both the kids love church, they love the music and they love being around people. I am excited that they are going to grow up in the house of God and I love watching Judah grow and learn about Jesus. I love that he likes to pray and loves it when we pray with him every night. It's so amazing being a mum.
