lately~
Life is settling down much to my liking. It's so much easier to keep the home up and spend time where it is needed when I can be home. November has been very pleasant so far with temperatures mostly in the upper 50's to lower 60's during the day and upper 30's at night. Food has been soups and chilies with lots of baked goods. I think because there are so many of us in this small space we haven't needed any heat.
Sol has not been himself lately ~ screaming, crying excessively he has been making the funniest faces. I really think he is just growing and changing and this is all just so new to him, how he is feeling. Not knowing how to react to brothers taking toys and books. Walking and wanting to run and climb on and over everything, but not being big enough just yet so falling more than usual. Wanting to eat everything we are eating, but not being big enough to chew and swallow chips and such. It is all very frustrating for such a big, yet so little person.
We have been settled in doing crafts and knitting, coloring and lessons, meal planning. I'm gearing towards stepping it up with some of the littles in doing more around the house, maybe washing dishes, sweeping, folding laundry. I think sometimes because I have the bigs I just let the littles slide and not do much, but as I read a certain book it's making me think, I'm not helping them by not requiring much out of them. We are a large family after all and everyone should have a part and actually do it.
Today I am peaceful, I feel at rest and am enjoying life!
Blessing to you and I pray you can slow down a bit, breath deep and enjoy your life.
