<div>
"Shower buddies"</div>
<div>
That's what the message said.</div>
<div>
I can't even remember where I was. It was a Monday night. The boys were with my Sweet P.</div>
<div>
And this message came through....</div>

.....</div>
<div>
"They were very, very, very happy that night" he says to me tonight when I quiz him.</div>
<div>
"What do you mean?"</div>
<div>
"They were giggling and connecting and being so beautiful in the water together. As brothers".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love these two. So very much. </div>
<div>
I love these four. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am so blessed and bewildered to have them all in my life. May every Woman know such love as I. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This day finds both Sweet P & I at home. We both have a thousand things we 'should' be doing. Instead, when I pick Little J up from Kindy I ask him if he'd like a baby 'cino at his favourite cafe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
His reply? Determined, clear & delivered with absolute certainty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"No Mama. I don't want a 'cino. I want an ice-cream".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And so it was, that we braved the cold wind and the sideways rain to find ourselves alone in the gelato shop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Me & my boy. And his love. </div>

When I look at these pics I took of my baby boy, my heart nearly bursts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am so proud, so joyful, so grateful that he is my boy. That I am his Mama.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That I am the one he wraps his arms around. That I am the one that he looks to for guidance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That this sweet soul chose to journey with me. His gifts to me are boundless. </div>

I love this shot.<br />
I love the movement. I love the laughter. I love the bandaid, 10 days old and stinky.<br />
<br />
But mostly I love what is not seen.<br />
I see a boy who was a baby, one year ago. I see a boy who has been waiting, ever so patiently.<br />
I see a boy, overflowing with the joy of being fully in my frame. While the littler baby is out of frame, not having his one year photographs taken.<br />
I see all that I've missed so much and all I can't wait to enjoy.<br />
JM you are the happy in my heart. My love for you is boundless. x Mama<br />

If only he'd sleep in bed. At 11am. When I want him to.<br />
We cuddle up together at 11, we snuggle in & I smell his (still) baby skin. His soft curls fall against my cheek & I wrap my arm around his round belly. He holds my hand & cuddles my arm. It feels so good.<br />
<br />
In the midst of the talk about new-baby, about big-brother, about change. It feels so very good, to have these moments together. I cherish them with all my heart. My womb-space longs for his babyhood, for the need to protect it & make it last as-ever-as-long-as-I-can. My heart breaks open with the sweetness of him. So tiny & so big.<br />
So much love contained in one little body.<br />
<br />
But sleep at 11 he does not.<br />
<br />
Instead he loves it too. He sinks into it and soaks it all up. He cannot sleep for the joy of our embrace.<br />
Instead he falls asleep later. And then he's awake much later at night than somebody only just 2 should be.<br />

<br />
We like to walk. We need to walk. And wander.<br />
If I'm in the garden, pulling weeds or visiting the plants, little J will take me by the hand. He looks at me with those big beautiful eyes, they inquire and decide in the same moment. He leads me down the driveway and onto the road. There's no way to refuse. I call for little M, "Let's go for a walk Milo, hurry". "What about the door Mama? Have you got the keys? Where are we going Mama?"<br />
Nevermind the details, lets wander together.<br />
And so we do.<br />
Along and around and up and across and back. It never takes long before this little wanderer decides he will only walk on the road and not the grass. I'm patient. I gently lift him onto the grass, I hold his chubby little hand, I coax. He does not budge. He walks onto the road. I'm patient, I coax. And around we go again. And then I carry him home. Frustrated by his stubbornness and grateful for this closeness.<br />
And just a teeny bit nervous about what's to come...<br />
<br />

The offer of a holiday with friends was tempting. The 12 hour drive not so much. Sweet P tricked me into camping with three small children with the offer of flights for the Mama & the babe.<br />

Let's just say that the airport was much more fun than the plane ride for this wee jet setter.Juleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08841711397907632235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826930071141870986.post-73981152672148100592013-03-02T21:49:00.000+11:002013-04-17T19:25:48.673+10:00 her shallow & her deep2nd March, 2013<br />
<br />
Our Summer days have been hot. So many swimming days missed for the overwhelm I feel at three small children, hot sun, sticky sand, packing snacks, towels, clothes, drinks, toys, etc etc etc.<br />
<br />
So the days when Sweet Paulie can join us, or the days when I feel extra brave, have been cherished and oh.so.much.fun. <br />

This wee baby is a merboy, I'm sure. He drinks in the energy of the Sea. He loves her wildness & her calm. He loves her shallow & her deep. His passion is unwavering. As is his persistence.<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">My house is a mess, the washing needs to be put away. Milo has a new friend coming to play tomorrow with his Mum. I really should be tidying up but it’s driving me crazy that I haven’t been in touch for soooooo long and so I left my dishrag on the bench, wiped my hands on my apron and sat down here to type.</span></div>
<div style="color: #033076; font: 13.0px Kokonor; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I miss you both so much. Every time we think we have carved out a way to visit, the winds blow in and the sands change. You are in my thoughts all of the time. Milo often talks of you both and asks when we can visit again. Did you get the seeds he sent you? </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He wanted to send you a gift thought that all farmers need seeds, so he chose those.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Milo is in Class 1. He came home yesterday talking about Degarni, the Dangerous Dragon who lives in the Deep Dark Dungeon. They are learning letters. IT makes me so happy and also so surprised that he is already this ‘old’. I thought that sitting at a desk would be a challenge for him but he seems to be doing well. We have a parent/teacher interview tonight so I guess I will soon find out if his teacher thinks so too.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Jasper is 3!!! Thank you for the cards you send on our birthdays. We so love to receive them. Jasper is a delight. He is soo funny. Such a great sense of humour. He is my soft one. He will be my baby long after Noah I think. He is also STUBBORN. Bloody redheads :-) He wants to go to a ballet class. I think he got the idea from cousin Mia. He asks me every single day. I’m taking him for a trial next week. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Noah is 8 months. Just a couple of weeks ago, when he was still 7 months, he learned to sit up alone, crawl properly and pull himself to standing (one handed). All in one week.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He is in a hurry. Still no teeth. He wont let me feed him with a spoon, he will only eat what he can feed himself. He has a crazy bad temper. But is so determined. These children sure can tach us a lot.....! He is lovely. He laughs all the time at Jasper and Milo , its the sweetest thing to hear your children giggling together. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Paul is playing heaps of music these days. We have made some wonderful new friends in Balnarring, all musical, openhearted, peaceful folk. We are Blessed to have such good people in our lives. Still he doesn’t like his job. I hate that he has to go and do something everyday that he hates so much. </span></div>

<br />
I have this friend.<br />
She is a light worker. What ever that means.<br />
She is the one who first taught me to 'follow the light'.<br />
She is the one I turn to in my sadness. And in my joy.<br />
In my confusion she holds my hand, and weaves a cord from my tangled web back towards the light.<br />
She is my Sister. She is my Mother. She is my Midwife.<br />
<br />

<br />
She is my Angel.<br />
And together we travel this endless cycle. BirthLifeDeath.<br />
I am Blessed.Juleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08841711397907632235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826930071141870986.post-5235066024394838882013-02-02T22:00:00.002+11:002013-02-02T22:01:01.323+11:00lost2nd February, 2013<br />
<br />
I've lost my ability to edit. Never one of my strong points, but now it seems as the months pass by so quickly and the moments to reflect are so few, I want to remember everything. Every detail, every expression, every sound, every emotion. And I am so overwhelmed with that.<br />
I (finally) finished editing a family photo session today. There are twice as many photographs to present as there 'should' be. Because I cannot know which moments that Mama wants to remember, and so I gave her them all.<br />
<br />
But it's not just my photographs. Editing is needed in every area of my life right now.<br />
<br />
Or maybe it's Lilith.<br />
Moon in Scorpio.<br />
Head in hands.<br />
<br />

Halloween win = last minute costumes pulled from the dress up basket, big eyes & smiles begging Mama 'pleeeeease, can we go tick or teating'.<br />
3 houses: more booty than these sheltered children have EVER seen. Noah wore an elfin cap (love).<br />
I won't get started on the complexities of Samhain/Beltane, rather I will indulge in the cute & cheeky of chocolate for a smile (& flowers they gave in gratitude).

<br />
I anticipate the first Spring egg before the children. The leaves begin to uncurl, the Sun teases me with a little warmth in its light, I begin to daydream about the possibilities in the year ahead.<br />
<br />
And I know that it will soon be time.<br />
<br />
I check every day or so.<br />
Quietly, when the children aren't looking. Then when I'm sure it's close I encourage them to check.<br />
<br />
And then...<br />
<br />

My crazy, wild, airy, gemini boy...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
You love this cosy place in my hammock. You love to curl up inside and close the top like a giant cocoon. You chatter away to yourself, or shout demands and questions to us from within. Sometimes you swing it wildly back and forth. You have decided you want to sleep in there with a doona. "It's sooo comfy Mama"<br />
You like being in the air. Suspended in space. You like the predictability of the rocking rhythm. You like being able to shut out the 'everything' for a while.<br />
I like it for you too. And so I sigh, and give up my hammock, and love that you love it too. <br />

So...<br />
It's been a while. <br />
<br />
I'm just trying this on, to see if it still fits. What it feels like. I'm not sure. <br />
<br />
I would love to continue this record but I'm not sure I have the time or commitment. I'm wondering about starting fresh. With a new page. <br />
<br />
A new identity. Isn't it odd how we can do that in cyberspace? <br />
<br />
I have learned and changed so much since the conception of Mermaid Dreaming....<br />

I'm noticing the details. I'm trying to remember them. Sometimes the changes are subtle. Soft.</div>

Sometimes they're loud. Sometimes they're excited. Sometimes they're bursting with nervous anticipation. Sometimes the giddy & glee is more than can be contained. </div>

No tractor rides or talking cockies but lots of smiles all the same.<br />
