Toddler Tamer


My daughter Aaliyah is into her third week of Pre school (Child care in Australia) & i must say she is totally thriving .

We both knew she was more than ready to take the step into Pre school but just didn't realise how much she would benefit from it.

The difference in attitude & temperament has been really noticeable.

Aaliyah is a hugely active child who loves to do things & be occupied all the time & has been this way from the moment she could crawl so having her just at home with me most of the time has hindered her growth to some extent, and as bad as that sounds its actually the truth as children learn so much from others and absorb a lot so with my health being poorly that has got to effect the wee midget to a certain degree.


Picking up the habits from other children her age can be both positive and negative & although there has been a couple of odd "words" pop out of her mouth there has been a lot of Positives come out some examples being 

# Picking up more after herself & putting things away

# Appreciating Mummy more from having a break away

# Singing

# Making friends with other children her age

# the biggest would be eating !!!!

Aaliyah has been such a wee nibbler from word go & i have tried over and over again without much success getting her to eat simple things like sandwiches.. to which i have been surprised to find out she has now been eating.


Twice a week the little Minnie goes & then continually for the rest of the week all i hear about is when is preschool next .

We are looking forward to the Water Park at the Preschool opening up in the next few weeks as it looks fabulous.


Teachers are genuinely helpful and the overall vibe has been so positive & enriching we are extremely happy in the choice we made to send Aaliyah Rose there

Growth

As i start to get better i feel much more positive and feel i have a good handle on this situation with my face. Its healing and is getting much better. Being inside was awful its so hard to not go out and enjoy the fresh air and do things, I also love the sun so having to avoid that is awful. Its funny to think that from now on i will have to wear a hat and cover up. Today for the first time i went to Story time at the library with Aaliyah and didn't wear a scratch of make up no moisturizer nothing (not that i had a choice in the matter) And it honestly didn't actually bother me at all. I even forgot that i wasn't wearing make up. Now coming from me who never leaves the house with out a full face of make up on , that is quite big. I actually feel really good about it and believe that this is my reason for this to happen to me, to help me grow as a person and feel more confident bearing all for the world to see. People that are naturally beautiful and used to not wearing m

Beautiful Sleep

Sleep  I love everything about sleep yet don't get the luxury of enjoying it very often at all. All my life i have suffered server sleep issues and from earliest memories i recall being stuck awake at night oh so wishing to just be able to sleep. I recall staying down the Marlborough sounds ,NZ at my grandparents house June and Lionel Hawkins. All us 3 girls being tucked away upstairs in our room all together nattering away non stop until one by one my sisters fell asleep then there was just me, Left wide awake desperate to just get to sleep now the fun was over. My Nana would come in late at night to see if we were asleep and every time sure enough id be wide awake in bed. So on numerous occasions she would take me off downstairs with her and make me a milky Milo to help to settle me enough to sleep (hopefully). You see my Nana suffers the same sleep issues and has told me she to lies awake in bed hours on end just trying to get to sleep. What makes matters worse

That crazy thing called Life experience

I find even though i may be growing older, Its true the older you get the more wise you become. Although i miss things about my youth ie. Having nothing to worry about other than myself & what i want to do that particular day & wear, The no responsibility's & being accountable for know one other than myself! And all other things associated with this type of thing. Basically that's all i do miss. You see i wasn't the nicest of people when i was younger & although i wouldn't change a lot of things i wish i had treated people nicer & respected myself more. The older i become the more i grow wiser & understand things better I also feel i am growing into my own person more and have my own Style and Flare. I am now confident enough to head in any direction i please with confidence that i will be excepted and its ok to make mistakes and not succeed at everything. I had loved Photography when younger but wasn't confident enough
