Today with all the stress my dad blessed the kids, it's helping my life be a bit easier. We also went to lunch at my dad's request for my birthday (29 and 36 months in a few weeks). At lunch I was noticing how H always has hair in her face and with her issues (sensory/anxiety/ADHD) it's been a fight in the mornings to just get her hair pulled back. At lunch I brought up the idea of doing tiny braids and putting beads on the end. Her choice on the beads so we went and found some star shaped pony beads. I also grabbed the elastics for the loom band craft as they work so well in hair and are cheep for the amount you get!
I was really suprizes but she sat for over 2 hours while I sectioned her hair, out so much spray conditioner with lavander on her hair and let me get out all the knots.
The only hard part was the actual corn rows at the front. She is looking a lot like a 80's girl. Was quite cute. H's twin B loves her hair. Says it's the most prity thing he has ever seen, more prity then mommies curls. Little sister is facanated and had a big melt down that I wouldn't do it to her hair right after. Had a good 30 min cry.
I got to have good cuddles with my kids this weekend. Talking about things I would never normally talk about.
Saturday was 8 hours of cuddles in bed, watching them play games on the iPad ( reading rainbow is our fave and saved my voice as it reads to the kids).
Some day they won't want to cuddle. They won't want to be held, they won't come to talk to me.
I need to cherish these moments.
I have also had some deep talks with my father. Being able to express my anger, how scared I am, the hurt from not being told he loves me for years.
He was able to tell me stories about my mom, how her relationship with her mother was messed up and how she never thought she would be a good mom so she drank and smoked so she could not have a baby.
So many stories. Life stories.
But you know what?
Tonight's going to be a good night. I have a feeling.
