making my day
making my day
The Awesome Teenager is becoming more elusive and time spent with him is getting rarer. Thats how it goes with these teenager people, though, isnt it? A vague presence in your home, emerging for food and to request the reconnection of internet networks.... He is so clever and explains geeky stuff to m. He loves pop culture almost as much as me. And he still kisses us goodnight every night, so I think we are good.
The twins are hilarious and continually evolving. Eli has started using the word actually with alarming regularity. "Well, actually mummy, I just really need a little tiny bit of yoghurt." Well, if you actually need it. Not figuratively. All right then.
Jasper refers to Eli as "My little brother" or "My best friend Eli". Both are ridiculously adorable. He introduces Eli to me daily. "Mummy, this is my little brother Eli!" Complete with Game Show Host style hand gestures and intonations.
My Lovely Husband continues to be lovely. He supportive and encouraging. Sometimes, all I need is for him to say, "You look nice." and I am OK. I love that he MUST say heinous in a stupid way, repeatedly, every time we watch Law and Order SVU. I love that he makes Jasper laugh his weird dirty old man laugh.
Life is stupid and complicated and annoying a lot of the time. But then, its not. Its colouring in at a cafe. Its taking pictures in the sunlight. Its being with the man I love and the boys I have created. My days are made by the little tiny (actual) details.
What are the little things that make your day?
