So what's been happening with us? We've been to Italy again and I have found that staying with relatives when you have two small children is rather stressful... Not everyone has the same outlook on life or does things at the same time as us, so for us being as independent as possible is the answer, for now.
Our mr baby is no longer much of a baby so it makes more sense now to call the boys by their proper names (Reuben and Isaac). We are still very much intending to home educate, Reuben has trouble doing anything teacher led anyway, so just as well. I got him an app for the ipad (which he uses more than I do) on body organs (highly recommended) and he looks at it every day! Today we were at the museum, he saw a picture of a cell and said: "Mummy, that's tissue!"
We're also trying to re-joing the local home ed group (we went once but then has a load of personal problems, including going to Italy twice in two months, so not given it much of a chance yet) as I think it would be great for the boys to be with other kids going through the same school-free experience.
I passed my Psychology exam for the Exploring Psychology Open University module, I thought I might give the degree a break as it is very time consuming, but now that I know I've passed what essentially is year one of the course, I really want to carry on. I had also thought of starting a small business babywearing related, maybe starting with a blog, but even though I still carry Isaac quite a lot, I wonder how passionate about it I will still be a couple of years from now when he's running around and not needing the carrier anymore. I guess that home education and psychology/counselling are the things that will be with me for a long time in the future. I have started going to Yoga classes again and love it, I try to do some at home as well as I was very involved in Yoga in my late 20s and I can honestly say it changed my life (for the better!!) but, again, looking after two little people is all-consuming. So I try to do a bit of everything, even if it's not all perfect!!
