Maz, come on in, the water's fine! I have been where you are not long ago and it is a huge turning point for us Mums. But the way I see it, it's like a book series when one book finishes and you can't wait to get the next book to see what happens next. I love where our life is atm, we have kids that are more self reliant, we don't need all the stuff that goes with having a baby and life just seems to have gotten 10 times easier for us. For sure I will miss all the things that you can do with them when they are little, but I am loving being able to have real conversations with the kids and forming a friendship with them as opposed to just being their mum kwim?
Maz Im scared of ever leaving this baby age. I love how affectionate my kids are and how Im their whole world (selfish aren't I? ) I can't imagine not having the cuddley little people I have now and TBH in the back of my mind Im already thinking about #6. Im not ready to leave the baby stage.
I have the opposite problem I think - my girl is 8 nearly 9 years old, and I find her completely enthralling. We have really great debates, I love watching her explore the world around her and teaching her about life in general. The way her mind works fascinates me and I'm so proud to see the happy, well adjusted and generous kid she is.
But I'm also a little daunted - my new husband and I are planning to have a baby together, so I'm about to head back into baby-stage. Does it all come back to you if you've had a big gap between children? Babies seem so little and helpless compared to my robust tall girl it almost feels like I'm starting from scratch again...
I'm excited, but a little nervous too. Is this weird?
