In the time it takes to breastfeed a newborn.... a sibling can have a whole lot of fun

25th Oct 2012

They say silence is golden ... unless you have a toddler ... silence is very suspicious!

It was a gorgeous afternoon and Lily asked to eat her dinner outside so I set her up on her little toadstool table and went inside to feed Eli . Not long after lily came in with a small toy turtle and said  "turtles like to swim don't they " I said yes sweetie they like to swim in the sea " they like water don't they " yes they do Lily, they love to swim, and thought nothing more of it  until I went out to check on her and found that she was giving the turtle a bath ... and herself.

Bed time story for Eli

Today when I told Lily that I needed to put Eli to bed she insisted that I put him in her bed first so that she could read him a story. I love that she loves reading so much , it opens up a whole new world. And I love that she is warming to her new brother.
