kreature of the night

Welcome to my life you loving little creature Pt.2 

Sunday, Day Two: Ben and I woke up bright and early followed closely behind by Jenna and Zeyad. I made everyone tea and got some breakfast for the little ones. I've stopped drinking coffee as of three weeks ago (I cheated once, horrible, I know) and so far I find it's actually easier to get up in the morning with Ben and be in a good mood. I use to feel like I was needing something before I could actually be a pleasant person to be around but now I just look forward to biking with him to preschool! We had a slow morning filled with drawing and SpongBob Squarepants and tons of cuddles. I told Ben I would take him to Bright Angel Park no matter the weather so we met up with my step sister, her two sons and their cousin, all of which are boys. They played in the woods and on the suspension bridge (with me panicking below ready to jump into the water if anything went wrong) We ended up at Steph's house where Ben got to collect chicken eggs and see the goats and have more time in the great outdoors. I wanted him to be with his mother on Sunday because I feel like every mother has the right to her own child on Mothers Day so we drove back into Victoria in the late afternoon and dropped Ben off. I had a quick visit at my house with mom, Jenna and Zeyad before they set back for the Cowichan Valley. She'll be back on Friday to stay with me for two days and I couldn't be more pleased. I love family, I can't wait for it to grow larger with every decade. 

Ben really wanted to be the one to push Zeyad on the swings. My heart melted, many times over. What an incredible little pair they made. Zeyad was mesmerized by Ben's colouring and the feeling of his shaved head. 

I was scooping little Z over the water so he could reach in and collect wet rocks. My mom snapped this shot of us after he grabbed one.  I totally bogart the baby and it's hard to get him away from me.
