There are in life big victories; you know like passing Year 12 exams, getting your license, getting the job you really want, seeing your kids leave home and then there are the little ones. Right now I’m focussed on the little ones and today I have had two. The first was seeing Squirm do wees in the potty. Yes we are starting toilet training here and much fun is sure to ensue. We had one successful wee and four messes to clean up but I suppose a 20% success rate isn’t bad for the first day.

The second victory is that all three of the little cherubs are having naps at the same time. The house is quiet except for the tapping of the keyboard and the dishwasher gently humming. There is no yelling, there is no crying, no whinging, no one pulling at my leg, there is peace. I didn’t think this day would come for a while yet, it may be a fluke but I aim to enjoy it while it is here. And so off I go to a cup of tea and a piece of freshly baked lemon cake. I feel like a bit of a domestic goddess today mind you the cake was baked with one baby screaming, a toddler weeing in the kitchen and a three year old sticking his fingers into every ingredient I pulled out. But I digress, I must go my tea is waiting.
