Time with our little one

 I am very excited to have my baby back with me at home full-time. When he turned one we decided we would put him in kindergarten. Looking back now I wish I could have taken him out sooner and put him in a better place. I would have loved to have him with a teacher who is enthusiastic and excited about her job, but it just seems like she does not want to be there and she is very strict with those little ones, don't think she has the patience for them. But it is what it is. I'm just happy that I can have the time with him now. Really looking forward to all the fun we are going to have. I have a few exciting activities planned.

Luckily we can wake up when we are awake. I am however hoping to get back into my 5am gym slot. With Eckan not sleeping through again, I'm just sleeping in. Being cuddled up next to him and listening to the pouring rain is not helping either. He was sick yesterday and today so I scored an extra two days with him. Tomorrow and Thursday will be his last days in this kindergarten. 

Today we slept in till 7am. Had porridge while Eckan and his dad were busy building our house. The last week he has been obsessed with just building with these blocks

My dad made loads and loads of these blocks way back when we were kids. He tried to sell it at markets but didn't make enough to cover the cost of the market fee end petrol so decided not to quit his day job and just let us play with it. My son loves it. When he wakes up in the mornings he wants to build, in the evenings we struggle to get him to bed because he just wants to build more and more. 

Just after 9am today we went to the library to get new books. Eckan loves it when we read to him. He is very engaged in the story and always wants a bedtime story. Now with him at home I can read two books to him before afternoon nap time also. so happy about that. 

After library time I made us something to eat. Eckan just wanted a sandwich with butter and Apricot jam. By then it was already 11h30. Just to make sure he is tired enough to go for his nap we did a few exercises. Crawling under chair, hops, skips and jump and he was ready to go read a story with mom, after making sure all the soft toys are also sleeping with him in bed of course. What a privilege to be able to have so much time to spend with our little one.
