Grateful Number 28: 27th August

I actually had time to finish making Mini some crawling / play / get muddy pants today.  The house is still a mess but I feel like I achieved something - hurrah!

Grateful Numbers 22 - 27: 22nd to 26th August

Grateful Number 22: 21st August

Our baby is partly potty trained! It's sooooo nice not to have to change super stinky nappies - especially in the reuseable ones!(Sorry that you are in the photo as well my love :-) )

Grateful Number 23: August 22nd

Despite the fact that we missed playgroup for the fourth time Mini had a big morning sleep and I got things done!

Grateful Number 24: 23rd August

It's Friday and I get a weekend with my boys!

Grateful Number 25: 24th August

I love my accupuncture relax sessions.  Such a good one today.  Big marks from the cups already though...  Had a lovely time with some of Mini's cousins and Grandparents this afternoon as well - Lots of fun at the beach.

Grateful Number 26: 25th August

We finally got to have a good chat to my bro and his wife and child in Sweden.  It was very exciting to see her baby bump.  Not long to go now....

Grateful Number 27: 26th August

Mini and I went to his Grandparents house today.  He had so much fun that he is asleep in the 2 1/2 hours later!

Grateful Number 21: 20th August

Our baby is going to know where his food comes from.  I'm very grateful that our chickens are so placid and let him stick his little hands through the fence to touch their feathers.  It made his morning!

Gratefuls Number 15 to 20: 17th to 20th August

Grateful number 15: 17th August

Mini has a Dad who loves to get up with us on Saturday morning after a week at work and get into the pool with him for his swimming lesson.

Grateful Number 16: 18th August

This is the Sunday morning view from our house!  We've had two weeks of this now.

Grateful Number 17: 19th August

Mini slept for a lonnnnnnggggg time and so did I.  We got up at 7am.  Wow! What a difference such a good sleep makes.

Grateful Number 18: 20th August

I love the morning crawls/walks that Mini and I take after breakfast and before his sleep.  We say hello to so many people and he gives so many people a great start to their day when he waves his arms and kicks his feet with a huge smile on his face when a car drives past.  He has made even the "icy" members of our community smile and engage where they normal refuse to acknowledge anyone.

Grateful Number 14: 16th August 2013

We live near a national park wildlife sanctuary.  Mini met his first cassowary and tree kangaroo.  How amazing to be able to drive ten minutes and take him to such a place for an hour every couple of weeks.

Grateful Number 13: 15th August 2013

I am finally starting to tame parts of my garden after months of baby related neglect!  There are hours of weeding, mulching and pruning to go but at least it's starting to look like someone loves it again.  I'm starting to feel that I can give it love agin after looking dispairingly at it for so long.  Bring on spring flowers!

Grateful Number 12: 14th August 2013

I've missed a few days of recording my "gratefuls". It was definitely not the plan but I can't seem to catch up even though I thought of "gratefuls" every day. I have forgotten the ones from last week that I had not got around to recording.  I'll be happy that those "gratefuls" registered in my head and will start number twelve today.

Grateful number twelve - after two weeks of waking in the night my baby slept through again last night.  This means two things - we have broken the habit and he must be feeling better.  Hurrah!
