introducing

celeste.
this blog is not going to be about children but i do want to include them occasionally, as of course they are my life. i realised yesterday one of the problems with modern parenting is the lack of independence kids have, which conversely means they are too dependent on their caregiver. so after school yesterday i sent my 2 oldest children eliza & louis to the dairy without me for a dollar mixture each, just like the good old days. it meant they had to cross 4 roads but when i went out to meet them as they wandered back down our street they were glowing with confidence & pleasure as they gobbled their loot & i felt a whole lot less stressed.
this is celeste enjoying her 50c mixture.
