Kindness and Innocence of Children

Kindness and Innocence of Children

My three year old n I just got back from our morning after-schoolbus drop beach and woods walk.

I took him to the toilet and on bottom of his trouser leg we found this little fella.


He was all distraught, thinking he’d hurt it…but it wriggled n he said “he’s okay mum! Where does he live?…Lets give him a new home?!”.

So he bravely held out his hand (he’s never seen a catapillar) and I put it on his finger.
He then walked so carefully n carried it outside, and we placed it on a tree.

He was so happy and now is asking to learn all about catapillars.

Sometimes, I get anxious that we’re failing at raising our boys with kindness and love as we make so many mistakes…and yell more than we should…

But then they do something like this and I think that maybe we’re doing something right, after all.

😄 We’ve a very happy boy. 😄

Only the other day, Mr Almost-Five was asking for his birthday to have somewhere special to store his many books cause his tiny bookcase was too small…

He must’ve read my mind cause I’d already arranged for these bookcases.

Exploring…


His birthday isn’t til tomorrow but I decided to surprise him early, and he was ecstatic when his Grandpa arrived with these bookcases! (Collected them for me in his bigger vehicle)

Even more so when I came out with armload of ‘new’ books I’d been storing away for him.
(I regularly buy books from secondhand stores because I don’t think kids can have too many!)

A happy boy reading himself to sleep.

He absolutely loves reading and now he has a place in his room that can grow with him to store all his precious books.

(And so does his younger 3yro brother, who happily inherited his cars bookcase.)

PS: Our biggest baby turns FIVE tomorrow! Where oh where did that time go?!

PPS: He has other gifts coming though his main birthday present isn’t in a box…it’s a memory… His Dad & Grandpa are taking him to the Zoo! He adores animals!

I came home with an hour to spare until dinner which I had not pre-prepared and my 3yro crying for playdough, of which none was left…

To entertain boys til dinner, I decided to do something I’d not done before…make playdough myself.

Quick Google search and this simple recipe came up, on a wonderful blog I’d not seen before.

https://www.iheartnaptime.net/play-dough-recipe/

So easy (and I’m NOT a whizz in kitchen by any means), it only took 10 minutes.

Added food colouring to pot for one bigger amount of same colour, which I’ll divide into empty Playdough pots.

Boys can’t mix the colours then (to create the wonderful S*** coloured playdough we all know & love…).
I’ll just make more later.

PS: I could add glitter next time…breaking my ‘no glitter in the house’ rule… hmm…
