I taught the boys how to use our coffee machine to make a latte and an espresso yesterday. I told them it would come in handy for occasions like my birthday or mother's day. These are at least 8 months away but it pays to start early.
We also enjoyed some bonding time last night before bed, chatting and joking which we haven't in some time.
This morning, I awoke to a latte in bed. They used the milk that doesn't froth so it was quite a 'flat' latte but it was the most perfect cup of coffee I have ever had :)

Diary of a Confused Mom August 11th 2015
After much debate (mainly us raising a strong case against it), O started tackle football this season.
This has meant that he comes home to his wide eyed younger brother with tales from practice that amaze and intrigue him but also spark the deepest chords of envy.
I wonder if it's the macho looking gear or permission to shove each other to the ground or what it is about American football that captivates men in this way.

I think we're stuck in some sort of complain - whine - argue cycle and just can't get out.
On another note, as my weaning efforts have pretty much come to a successful closure, I am slowly feeling like my old and real self is returning...

Today was the first day of nursery for Little Z. It was emotional for both of us but I think we did a reasonable job. There are some advantages to having a bit of previous experience I guess.

Diary of a Confused Mom August 3rd 2015
Snuck out of my room at 5:30 am to get a few peaceful minutes with my cup of tea while Z still slept. I was discouraged by the sounds from upstairs. Obviously the boys were up! I still went ahead and made the tea and retreated to our dining table to resume the 1,000 piece puzzle I've been hooked on the past couple of days. It took about 5 seconds before I was swarmed by them and in an additional 5 minutes, Little Z was awake and joining in.
My tea ended up cold and abandoned and I was somehow whisked into a morning of breakfast making, kid refereeing, lunchbox preparing chaos.
And now, the older two are at camp, Little Z is napping and I am so blissfully sipping my tea and enjoying some down time. It took 5 hours but it's still worth it.

Diary of a Confused Mom: July 31st 2015
Met Little Z's nursery teacher today. He was very interested in exploring the classroom. I really feel he's ready but I know that come Tuesday, there may be tears. Not yet 100% sure who will be doing the crying.
