Transparency Tuesday: Going back to Nursery.. or not?

-
So.. the time for Jeremiah to go back to nursery is steadily approaching.. and I am still in a very indifferent mind frame in regards to him actually going back.

The date is set, the time is set.. everything is already in place... it's just to wait for the day for him to go back.

I have some worries.

Jeremiah started nursery at the beginning of this year. It took him a little extra time to settle in because of the new surrounding and not having me around.
Just when lockdown was about to go into full throttle, this is when Jeremiah was just getting into the swing of nursery and grasping onto the routine.

I was actually HURT.

Because now as he will be going back.. I'm thinking will he just go back like normal? He has a pretty good memory so I'm just hoping once he sees the park we walk past and the roads that we have to cross.. he will immediately remember that this is his nursery and just jump right back in.

What I am a little worried about as well is that they have changed his keyworker... and he was really attached to his former keyworker... I don't like that they did that!

But I really do think it will be good for him especially with the fact that his speech is starting to pick up. Being around kids his age and being in a different environment I think will be a good catalyst-- also his nursery has a whole plan to work with him and his speech-- everything is all set up. 

They were thinking he'd come back in June when the schools/nurseries were opening but we were pretty much in the midst of the pandemic and I just said... NOPE.

I guess I just have to wait and see. I know going back will help him because he will be starting primary next year... but I'm also fearing for his safety.. of course the nursery will be implementing all of the necessary precautions.. but.. meh.

We'll see as time goes on I guess!

Thoughtful Thursday: "You're a big boy now"

-
So... with Matthew turning 3, I've had to start implementing the phrase, "You're a big boy now", when it comes to certain things that are considered baby-ish; or to kind of enforce independence.. So a prime example is.. he is very used to sitting on my lap. I don't want to stop it, but when we are in particular places, like on the bus, or places where he can sit down; I'm trying to enforce that.  He's still small and cute so sometimes I even forget and just put him on my lap-- but then I later realize that he is getting heavy! lol I'm starting (well kind of), to encourage him to eat on his own. But he's already shown me inklings that he wants to. He will literally take the spoon from me and start feeding himself. So now I'll go 'You're a big boy now, you have to eat at the table." He was reluctant at first, but when he saw his brother eating, he was encouraged. lol. He has his moments when he wants me to feed him, but it's a gr...

Transparency Tuesday: More understanding

-
When I was growing up, I think my mother didn't take time to actually understand what kind of child/person I was. My mother was born and bred in Ghana; and moved to the UK. So obviously, her culture is heavily African. My mother was very loving and supportive, don't get me wrong, but I can remember my mum used to talk for me whenever someone was talking to me directly, so I wouldn't get to speak up for myself... and anytime I would want to talk to her, I would get a 'Don't worry, don't worry' and get shunned. So this in turn made me a shy child. Now after having kids of my own, I can understand why she did certain things-- she probably thought she was protecting me to an extent. Because obviously... when your child starts asking you questions... you don't actually want to answer them.. you don't want them knowing certain things so early! It's an abomination! But... in this time we're in now.. the children are developing at such a fast rate......

Thoughtful Thursday: My word for the year

-
Thanks to another mama on Instagram (theprettygirlsguide, check her out); I've decided to have a word to round up my year. My word is: Mindful So there are goals I have set for myself and my kids this year.. and I need to make sure I'm mindful in all aspects of fulfilling them. Being mindful of my intentions, my actions, learning, lessons.. everything. This word stood out for me when I saw the post by theprettygirlsguide and I just went, "Yep, that's my word". I've never actually chosen a word to focus on for the year-- so hopefully by doing this I'll be more determined to do what I need to do... I'm being more mindful about what I speak into existence I'm being more mindful about my thoughts and my attitude  I'm being more mindful about what I teach my kids and how I deal with them I'm being more mindful towards myself.. self care.. and what I want to achieve For me... mindfulness is an inside work and it will work it's way out. What ...
