We had one of those cosy days here today. It's very cold and the day was just right for me and the boys to snuggle and watch ABC for Kids on the couch in between the Batsman's therapy sessions. We ate toasted cheese sandwiches, yoghurt, grapes and ANZAC biscuits. While we munched, I watched them. I watched them in that misty, sentimental way that comes when I slow down enough to recognise it. Love, love, love my boys.
This was one of those moments. A moment to treasure.
Next year the Batsman will go to school. Our routine, our lunchtimes together will shift significantly. It will be the Bowler and me having lunch some days. And on the days the Bowler heads to kinder or child care, it will be just me.
I know this change is going to take some adjustment. Like the plan ahead girl I am, I'm preparing myself early.
But for now, on this cold day that is bringing us closer to winter with each raindrop, all I am doing is treasuring the moment.

I treasured those days. I planned ahead. But I still miss them badly now they are all gone.

Lovely, Suz. While not the same, I know our days will change a lot next year when ship Angus off to three year old kinder for a few days a week. Nothing stays the same for long, does it?
