Today i demonstrated how to manage a meeting with a bear. All the way home baby E, aka bubby, mimmiced my loud voice and clapped his hands. We were out on our most-daily walk when I heard and then saw a bear in the woods. We backed up with my hand clapping while the bear carried on and merged onto the route we were headed.
This 16 months has been so rich. Its currious to me. I have always felt may baby friend to be present and engagng, but now so much that i don't remember specificlly how it was before.
It seems that every day he is using a new word. I'm trying to write it down or record him when I can. I'm really loving the many ways he calls to me; from a deep sleep, another room, from the back seat or in my arms: "ma", "mom-mom", "mommy", "mommy mom-mom".
These are precious and i'm so grateful for moments like this....gently reminded of the sacred.

back on blogger catching up
Really? it has been this long... Not sure if I should bother to catch up or just carry on from here? How about a bit of both.
It has been a rather rough time, maybe the roughest I've ever known. This being a mama is not for wimps nor is being a wife! Sweet E, my fabulous 17 month old son is pure joy. Yesterday a stranger stated "he's not just happy, he is playful" and so it is.
Not finding time to blog as a symptom of my situation. Fortunately I have been able to rediscover my joy of knitting, which is counter balancing my all time high of stress. My third children's sweater I started last night, after both boys had gone to bed. Most of my free time is spent paying bills and cleaning, which does not feel very free. It is however feeling like I'm finally on the right homoeopathic and the garden is coming alive.
I've started taking my raw pies to our farmers market. Roger is happy when I don't sell out. It is so wonderful to be making foods that are delicious and fit for a baby. We were at a 2 year old birthday party and E was not even interested in the classic sugar and food colouring cake, thankfully, though I wonder if this is because he has yummy deserts at home. Or was it just a nice mothering moment?
And so I'm back to blogging!
