The simplest things

It's a fact, babies are creatures that can make you laugh and make you cry, probably just as quickly as they can themselves. You get such a thrill from the little things they do everyday. It is wonderful to be around them most of the time, but boy aren't you glad when they have that sleep.

One of my personal favourites and I know if you ask Isabella she will agree, is me lying flat on the floor on my back. She comes close up to my face and loves to stand there, usually slapping it. This makes Isabella squeal with joy every time. Don't need to do anything else, just lie there and her little face lights up with such joy and she has such a squealing giggling fit. If I'm feeling down which as you have guessed by now can be quite a bit, all I do is lie on the floor and she makes me laugh, simples.

I did, however, say that babies can make you laugh and cry just as quickly. One of the rather shall we put it interesting habits that is forming, is her lack of patience when food is being prepared for her. She will be playing happily then all of a sudden it's like someone flipped a switch. She races into the kitchen on all fours and then stands holding onto the drawer below where I am making her food, near the microwave if I'm honest. She will stand there holding on and just screams and cries. Of course right under your feet getting in the way to slow things up. Then once I sit her down to eat she has about five mouth fulls of food and then starts to shake her head in a clear NO fashion. She has obviously decided at that point that she no longer requires this food anymore. 'What's next Mummy, take it away', I can hear her saying in her head.

I at these more interesting times must hang onto the joy we had five minutes earlier when I was prostrate on the floor with madam lording it over me. Then simply laugh.
