boys will be boys

I've always loved watching my boys enjoy things together.

Back in the days when we were a three,

I would spend a lot of time sitting back

and just witnessing them;

their bond and their relationship.

{the ordinary moments} my boys

This epitomises an ordinary moment.

They didn't even know they were being photographed.

And I didn't know I was photographing them.

Okay, so I did have the camera pointed at them,

but I was just checking my light and my camera settings

ready to get a different photo.

And then I looked through the memory card when I got home

and I found this . . .

A completely accidental photo

of an utterly beautiful and tender moment

between my two best boys.

our little individuals

It makes my heart stupidly happy

to get to parent a boy and a girl.

I love that my husband and I have the opportunity

to learn about raising boys and raising girls.

But it is already clear to me

that however much I might want to try to be fair and equal,

we will not be raising our children the same.

kick it

I think that my hubby would quite happily have had me give birth to a toddler when I had the little man.

He has always been a doting and hands on daddy,

but in the last few weeks and months I have watched him blossom as a parent.

flying high in safe hands

I love these two . . .

. . . so much that it's crazy sometimes.

pretty.little.things - all dressed up

My little man is pretty typical of most little boys.

He gets grubby and loves it.

He crawls everywhere at great speed

and likes food to be a multi-sensory experience.

To put it simply,

he's messy and gets dirty

and I wouldn't have him any other way.
