Today my littlest and I went on a walk just as the sun was about to set.
It came at the end of a day with just the two of us at home and it was a healing day of sorts. No distractions. No-one else in need of attention. Just a two year old and her mum.
There were no tantrums, no time outs, no crying and no 'getting-into-things' disasters that needed to be fixed. It was a gentle reminder that all she really needs is my time. Time so she doesn't need to do 'things' to get my attention, because she already has it.
When I suggested we take her baby and pram on our walk, she almost leapt into the air with joy.
A blissful 45 minutes accompanied by an enormous tree and a beautiful sunset that made us oooohhhh and aaaahhhh.
