Master Two has taken a disliking to eating meals at his own little table lately and I've been starting to think that maybe the time has come for him to begin eating with company - at the big table.

So this morning him and I sat down together for breakfast.  Well, his second breakfast of the day; the first being several hours earlier at 5.15am.  Yes, pleasing, to say the least.

Anyway, it was all very civilised and we had a great old chat even though I'm not entirely sure what it was all about!

An hour later he is starting to get tired and cranky already  (several wake-ups during the night coupled with the early morning), so as we do battle about everything from him taking his brother's toys to why I can't fast-foward the ad breaks on TV, I try to remain calm as I keep telling myself that in 15mins he will be at day care and will no longer my problem :-)

Am I a horrible mother??

Here in Australia the first day of October is almost over.  I was supposed to have the urn memorial necklaces online by now (and no, I still haven't decided what to officially call them - any suggestions??).  I'm so sorry for the delay but I'm working on getting it all together every day, I promise!

SuperNan left to fly back home to her beloved hubby today.  Happy, I think, to be relieved of her demanding nanny duties and running around after a daughter who laps up every bit of help she can get when she can get it ;-)  As she departed for the airport this afternoon, we waved her off at the train station (lesson learnt a while ago: peak hour traffic, dinner time and cranky kids in cars don't mix)... Lucas in tears because he couldn't get on the train with her and me knowing exactly how he felt.  As we watched the last carriage disappear into the distance, I let a few tears fall as well.  It seemed a long walk back to the car.

Good-byes are sad.
