Winter always leaves me slightly depressed. I prefer Autumn and Spring. Never been a fan of Winter or Summer. Even though I'm extreme in certain aspects of my life, climate is one thing that I prefer the middle ground.
I'm ready for Spring-cleaning. Ready to purge and start fresh. I'm ready for new beginnings. Ready to compartmentalise my life.
Alec is such a delight. I love being his mother. Today he tried hard-boiled egg for the first time, and promptly threw it up. Ha ha. I tricked him by adding it to his sweet potatoes, and all was good. We spent about an hour playing drums this morning. (Really, it was just an old pot and a wooden spoon, but hey! what does he know?)
It's really hard to put into words how becoming a mother has changed me. Hopefully, it's made me a kinder, gentler, more patient woman. Those aren't exactly traits I'm well known for. Alec has enabled me to be more positive, he has given me hope for all of humanity. I know that as his mother, I am doing the most important job on this planet.
Please take pity on this picture, it was taken when Alec was about a week old. Mama looks pretty rough. ;)
