Ek stem saam met Tharina, vind uit hoekom hy nie meer wil gaan nie. Maar op die stadium voel ek hulle moet goed doen wat vir hulle lekker is. So as hy nie meer die Music kids geniet nie laat hom eerder iets doen wat hy wel geniet. Wat is music kids?

Vreemde tande

Wel ek moet net my tande dramas met iemand deel. Sal ek maar begin by Ellard. Hy het nog nooit 'n tand gesny op 'n gewone tyd nie. Altyd wanneer daar een of ander ontwrigting in sy lewe was. Sy grade vir tande kry lyk dus so:
1 tand as ons kuier mense kry
2 tande as ons weg gaan met vakansie
4 tande as sussie gebore word.
Ek sou graag wou weet hoeveel hy sou sny met die trekkery. Daar was egter net een oor. So vir nou is sy tande dramas oor. Ek wonder of enige ander kinders op die manier tande g… Continue

Nie seker wat om te doen nie.

Julle ek het jul hulp nodig. Logan is nou 3 jaar oud en doen playball op n dinsdag en music kids op n woensdag maar vanoggend het hy gese hy wil nie meer musiek doen nie en ek dink nou daaraan om hom te laat swem eerder as om aan te gaan met musiek omdat hy gese het hy wil dit nie doen nie. Wat moet ek doen hom laat aangaan met musiek of eerder laat swem? Ek het hom al gevra en hy se net nee, hy gaan nie musiek toe nie.

Help Groot asb.

Four seasons in one day

I was scared, overwhelmed and nervous about how I would cope before we had her and wondered what it would be like. I agonised over whether we would cope and whether we would face the same challenges that we did with our son, but the moment she was born, everything melted away and there was only the here and now.

The first two weeks consisted of many cuddles, finding our way, healing and trying to m… Continue
