This week Baby I Promise...

So Christmas is over and we had a really good one, at last! We're all played out! It would appear I never linked up with the last 'Baby I promise' what a der brain! But I did get into the Christmas spirit, I did play with Little Man and his toys A LOT and I also baked with Little Miss a fair bit! Whatever she wanted.

Little Miss helped baked the Christmas cake

Okay, there are no toys here but he looks cute!

Alright, here goes. This week babies I promise....To get up before you so Mummy is bright and breezy and ready to go! Instead of Little Miss bouncing on my bed I could bounce on her instead!

I will also endevor to sort all your toys out and place all your new clothes into your wardrobe...I have next weeks planned too!

This week Baby I Promise...

Little Miss's

Yey! *Does dance* I took not one, oh no but TWO children to toddler group! As the teachers decided to strike I thought why not? I had a last minute wobble and I wasn't entirely comfortable being in said group but I still went with both Little Miss and Little Man. I'm aware i'm posting this a bit late I just totally forgot!

Anyway, the important thing is that both of them had a really nice time so it doesn't matter that mummy was sat there secretly wishing she could hide herself away. Not many people turned up, most likely due to childcare reasons with all the schools off, after all the session is for 3 years and under. Both of them made a Christmas card which Little Miss handed to Nanny at work feeling very pleased with herself and Little Mans went up on the mantle piece as soon as I got home.

Little Man's

Moving on....

So this week baby I promise:

To do some baking with you, Little Miss, whatever you want!

And

Spend some quality time everyday playing with you Little Man and your new toys

And!

Get excited for Christmas!

This week Baby I Promise...

This is my first time with Mum Of One and her meme 'Baby I promise' where you make a promise you'll try very, very hard to keep to your child or children for the coming week.

A few months back I was having CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) for social anxiety which is something it turns out I've suffered from much of my school life and so far my adult life also. I have however changed an incredible amount which makes me very proud as you can imagine. Plenty of people have been there with anxiety and depression and the knowledge that you are coming out the other side is a wonderful thing.

Anyway, it was obvious going through this process of meetings that my anxiety was ruling my life almost completely. Since finishing the counselling I may have got better with most things (calling people, talking to family more openly, blogging (sounds odd but people ask you questions face to face after reading it and I have to be aware of that when I write, this used to scare me so much hence why blogging was a major step for myself personally) and many other things.
One thing I have struggled to do is to go to Toddler groups. There's no excuse, there's a library group on Wednesdays and on Tuesdays a church holds a massive group for all ages which I used to go to..It's just dragging my arse out of bed and going but the whole thing fills me with such dread that I lay there for ages thinking about it.

So this week I promise to take my lovely Little Man to either the big toddler group alone so we get some 'me time' or take him AND his sister to the library group I went to regularly before 'pushy Mum' ventured in and thoroughly put me off.
I'll try. Mummy x
