My children! My Life!

Well I suppose the title says it all...
My Kids are my life.

I honestly believe my children are the best! I was so lucky that whoever it is up there decided to give me these 3 children did. Emily and lachlan have been through so much with me, the separation, the dramas but every night when I tuck them in I say to each of Them "I love you millions" and they both say it back. Its like a little thing we have always and will hopefully always do.

Emily.....My senstive,caring and very loving "pre-teen".
Emily is almost 12 and she is fantastic. Yes we have our fights as all kids that age would have with there mothers, I think it would be abnormal if we didnt. Its like she knows when Im stressed or when Miss B is pushing the limis with me and every time she will step in and ask to take her ou the backyard or for a walk just to give me a few minutes space.
Last night for example I was struggling to get Miss B dressed after her bath, I was tired and had a headache so Em took her without me asking and made a game with her , next thing I know she was dressed and ready for bed. Other times I have gone outside for a smoke just after puttiing Bianca to bed and come back in and the toys are all packed up or dishwasher loaded. I dont even ask she just does it.
apart from that I love nothing more than to have one of our chats. We talk about everything and anything. She tells me i think more than a normal child would tell her mum. I hear about who she like,who likes her,what happens at her dads, everything. I do pray this will keep up as she hits the dreaded teenage years. She knows she can come to me with anything, Questions,problems whatever and often does.

Lachlan...... My quiet,sensitive but strong, and so funny little man!
Well where to start with lachlan???? He is an amazing 9 year old ! if I had a dollar for every parent,teacher,friend that has told me what a great kid he is I would be a millionaire.
Lachlan does come accross as a very shy boy but he seems to sit back and take in an enviroment before he joins in. He has always been a battler when it comes to reading, spelling and writting but he gives 100% most of the time. When it comes to Maths, science or anything electrical he is fantastic. he will sit there for hours watching documentries on Ailens or aminals whatever and that is all he will talk about for ages. hetakes it all in and remembers so much. I remember when he was about 4 he asked me" how does the light go on?" I gave him the basic reply "you flick the switch and it goes on" But this wasnt good enough he wanted to know how does it go from the switch to the light. so I explained it best i could for a 4 year old to understand. This was the first of many and still now he asks thing that I have no idea on so we get on the net and find the answer.
Lachies big problem at the moment is he wants to "divorce" his real dad. He has told me he just doesnt like him, he hates the way he lives and basically everything about him. I always encourage him to see his dad but will never force him to go. I tell him if he doesnt want to go he has to tell his dad and always does without hessitation. His dad never seems to care! Ever since I remarried the kids have chosen to use both names. (ie. lachlan A***-N***) But laclan keeps saying he wants to get rid of the A**** he just wants to Be N****. Without his dads concent this is somthing we will have to deal with until hes older and can change it himself. Lachlan has the best relationship with Craig and calls him Dad, His real dad is "Gregdad".

Miss Bianca.... My handful, but ever so sweet and soooooooCute!
Miss B turns 2 in a few weeks and she is definatly my handful! We never thought we would have another child. We tried for years and had many miscarraiges. Then we kept trying and nothing...
On my 30th birthady I broke my Coxic bone (the worst pain I have ever ever felt) I could not walk for weeks it was hell but in that first month of agony somehow I concieved! LOL Anyways Miss Bianca arrived and from day 1 I knew she was different from the other 2. she was a sook! LOL
I would not swap her for the world though. she is very clever for her age, Her daycare teachers can not get over her speech and what she understands and can do. I put this down to haveing an older brother and sister that dote on her.
Miss B has taught me so much, She is almost 2 but very tiny. Now she should be almost a head taller than she is but her smallness does not stop her. Part of the reason she is so small is she was sick for a while and did not eat, We had every test under the sun and we now know she has an allergy to cows milk and also has the Coeliac gene. As yet she doesnt have Coeliacs disease but could at any time develop it, Its there but not yet active. Just something to watch. She has also had her adeniods removed, this was stoppingher eating. Miss B will not eat with her mouth open and because of the adenoids couldnt breath while eating so didnt. Since her op she has been thriving~!

anyways thats enough babbling today. Miss B is at daycare and I have so much to do.

take care all.. Love Reneeooxoxox
