Sink or swim

My bf and I have been taking our daughter to swimming lessons every week for quite a few months now and Samantha just does NOT enjoy it!
See spends half the time upset and the other half holding onto me like a Koala! Poor Baby, I feel bad that she doesn't like it but she will get used to it right?!

She does like the social interaction that she gets, I think being an only child can be lonely sometimes I mean how long till playing with mummy is just not as exciting anymore ha ha
It's good for her, I just don't like it when she is upset. No Mummy wants to see there baby upset :(

We will persist, it is a very important skill for her to learn and in the long run it is better for her : ) so I am sure she will learn to LOVE IT!

For the love of books

So I have recently decided that I desperately need to start reading again, I used to do this all time before having my daughter but lately I have found myself to busy to try and find a good book, I am sure you know the type that one book you just couldn't possibly put down until you have read one more page and before long you have finished the whole thing and you are thirsty for more... Well thet's what I want

Well I will start searching and see what I come up with. The search is on!
To be continued...

What's mine is now yours

I became a mummy 18 months ago and discovered I was going to become a mummy 27 months ago or almost 2 1/2 years ago if you want to look at it that way, anyway going off track... So you would think that by now I would be very much used to the idea of being Number 2 and that everything I do now is not really decided by me, it is now all revolved around my beautiful little girl Samantha.

So I am sure that I am at the point where I don't even need to think about it I just do whatever is needed to make sure she is happy, healthy and all the rest but is it such a bad thing for me to want someone to look after me just a little bit? HA HA

So I am thinking about this seriously (I can do that sometimes) whilst I am typing and maybe it is?! Who would really say such a thing, how terrible of me to even think it let alone write it down for the world to see... Right?!
Well honestly I think wrong! I mean I am by no means any kind of expert but I have a feeling that at one point or another all mother's may have even a tiny, minuscule similar feeling to this.

I must say though having my partner be there to guide and help me and give me some much needed adult communication and a bit of attention is certainly a must have! I love it when it is just us for some one on one time, by one on one time I mean when we actually get our princess to sleep in her cot and we both crash in bed from exhaustion, its just the two of us then... In dreamland ha ha!

Being a Mum has been and is the most amazing and enriching time of my life, even if it is a bit Manic from time to time.

So I hope you will enjoy the ride with me
