Today I felt at ease. I said no to something very important to be able to focus on celebrating the second birthday of my son properly.
It meant that I could keep my sanity all day and my focus on the celebrations. As it should be. But it wasn’t like me before, it’s my new me. In the past I would had squeezed in all the things came in my way, before prioritising myself and family.
Today I felt good with the progress at home and preparation. It’s far form perfect, but it’s right for the current season of our lives.
The Birthday Boy
After a long nap, our little boy was his happy self again. He went on exploring all the new ‘tidy’ layout, that he found at home 😃 It doesn’t happen often.
I could tell that he fully understands that all the fuss around the house and kitchen is for his celebration.
Grannies were invited for dinner at six in the evening. Allowing some quite after school time for the eldest and a short nap 💤 time for our daughter.
Dinner
Fondue 🫕 with steamed potatoes, fondue bread, some meat and pickles. The latest is my son’s absolute favourite. He can eat half a can for one meal.
Grandma prepared a masterpiece birthday cake. It was not only stunning to look at but delicious 😋 as well.
Presents and glowing balloons 🎈 made everyone happy for the rest of the evening.
My Birthday Wishes
To my lovely youngest boy: your smile warms my heart immediately! I wish you keep your gorgeous smile forever and ever. Stay healthy and strong always. I love you to the moon and back.
In conclusion
And with that we close a huge era in our lives. No more babies. We take a short break before preparing for grand babies to come 🤗 But until then, look out for more adventures.
