Watching my two and a bit year old son can be a constant source of humour. What goes through his head (or any other toddler his age) to make him do what he does, I will never know. However, it would be fascinating to know! Like why when Elisha is lying on the floor does Caelan have to grab every cushion in the lounge room (approx 10 or so) and pile them up next to him? Why as pictured below, does my mum have to sit on the floor, head on the lounge, also piled high with cushions and then he also have to be covered with cushions? Why when Elisha sits under his play gym does Caelan have to hang daddy's hankies all over the arch so that Elisha can't see anything?
In other news, Lishi (our nickname for Elisha) is now grabbing at objects and Caelan has started eating apple!! For those that don't know, I have a VERY picky and fussy eater. He eats a very limited amount of food and eats no fruit except for bananas which he hasn't been eating the last couple of months. So the fact that he is eating apple is a breakthrough!!
Thanks also to those encouraging comments to my last post. It is heartening to know that I am not the only one who feels these things. All you mums out there - keep going strong in the Lord's grace and strength.

Thanks for the photo of the cushions, and not focusing in too closely on the poor granmother under the cushions. Thankyou for your beautiful blog and pictures. It is beautiful because it is honest and open speaking from your heart. Too many of us hide the real side of life and say everything is great. As mothers', life is full of changes and loss and we are left with holes which was once filled with fun and laughter.Thanks again and may you continue to help others.
We can grieve and feel desperate and still say "It is well with my soul" the two are not opposed.
Your loving mum
