Of Sleeplessness, Being a Mum and Talking Realities

Sitting at the computer an hour after getting my daughter to sleep... It's her afternoon nap and lately her only nap which has been driving me mad! Sure it's great to schedule everything around one nap instead of two but it's the length of the nap that is killing me! At least she sleeps all night... (Knock on wood).

Anyway I'm a fairly new mum, my daughter is currently 10 months old who thinks she's at least 18 months old! Little Miss I want to walk and I don't want your help; actually maybe a little bit of help will be great. ONE hand mum not both! Not to mention the I'll wave goodbye when I want to wave not when you want me too. And the Don't touch my blocks! (which by the way is the best way to get her out of trouble...) She gets Jealous when my Fiance and I start piling her blocks up she crawl/steps (if that makes sense) to get to her blocks ASAP before we build a tower too tall for her that ends in her knocking it down and building one herself! It's absolutely adorable to watch unless it's your masterpiece of a tower getting knocked over!

I love being a mum and all the complications associated with it, I had some trouble getting used to being a mum to begin with but thanks to the Karitane Home Visiting Program I was helped and had the chance to have someone besides my own family and friends tell me that I was doing extraordinarily well! It was because of this program and the Young Parents group that they run that I got to become associated with the Talking Realities program. As soon as I was told about it I knew that it was definitely for me I love talking to people especially about my experiences! And getting to go to schools and letting youth close to my age know what it's like to be a young mum is simply amazing. If I had been introduced to this program during school I don't know if I'd have my daughter now or if I had waited! I love her so much and I'm glad she happened to our lives.

=) Our planned little accident =) as I say..

I've got to head off now though my little princess is crying through the monitor, letting me know that she's had enough sleep for today! And once she's out and about there's no time for computers anymore it's all about her =)

This was a great way to get everything out of my head! Hopefully I'll be back soon!

Ciao
