I Want You in My Soul
The photography in this video is stunning, this is the kind of song that makes me imagine taking off on an aeroplane to take up a new job in a new country. My new music of 2011 so far: Jacques Greene, Jamie XX, today's title post and this. 4 quality tunes.
When Big Small (6) was the age Baby Small (2) is now Middle Small (4) was already a sitting up six month old and when Middle Small was the age Baby Small is now Baby Small was born. We having been talking maths of ages and how E is double O's age and has been on the planet twice as long and S is 3 times his age and how E+O=S (early algebra?) and how we need to remember that when sharing and adjust our expectations accordingly.
So, for me this adds up to never before having had a toddler at this stage and not had a newborn baby also. New territory. Solo breastfeeding a two year old is a new journey for me too
That is a sum of 7 years of non-stop nappy changes too (longer in dog years if you add on the times there were two in nappies.) Big Small never wore a disposable, Baby Small lasted about 2 weeks in cotton nappies. In fact it was 6 weeks before I left the house with all 3 children. Originally we wanted 5 children but that was before I knew that exclusive full term breastfeeding suppresses periods ( & I did GCSE Biology as well!) but for now I am very happy with 3. The Daddy One is keen for more though, never say never, if I did I'd probably land up with twins at 45. We have three friends with Babies due in December and S would rather have a Guinea Pig.
NB That "Baby" in between O's legs is S's Baby Robert. He's a berenguer and does look pretty real, he has fooled a few visitors.
All of our birth stories are here and are much more readable since Sandra Dodd kindly showed me how to put paragraph breaks into blogger

Never too early to start alegbra Katie! I love this post because I think like this quite a lot, "wow when Bailey was Ruben's age Piper was 4, Cordelia 3 and Ruben 1 1/2". Its frightens me! I was finished after 4 babies in 5 years but now..now I'm thinking could I?..I can't really(other circumstances) but gosh I think I would really, really love too! Watch this space because I like a challenge.....
Do you really think like this too Zoe? That has made me feel much better as I thought is was just me. We were trying to work out earlier if their ages will ever add up to mine!
