    It's been quiet but I love the everyday stuff with him as much as I love the days out. I've started sewing curtains for the den under T's bed, I have some fab dinosaur fabric for it!

    Oh, bless, he’ll love that! Does he know?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    You're doing so much to make the place such a lovely warm, welcoming space and a proper home for them both where they will both know they are wanted and loved!

    He's seen the fabric but doesn't know I've started them. This is it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114245898260

    I'm using that as a wide stripe with a plain navy fabric.

    I love them like they were my own. They've lived in utter chaos and still do when they're with her and I want a nice, peaceful and calm space here. I've painted the woodwork in the summerhouse this evening and will give it another coat tomorrow and hopefully get the ceiling painted so we have a nice peaceful space outdoors too.

    Your post made me cry. I'm so excited and sobbing with happiness for you, but I'm so overjoyed for them. They are learning what it's like to be loved, wanted and respected which they've never had with her.... That fabric is epic - grown up dinos!

    You're turning into Paula!

    I don't take any from them and won't accept excuses for bad behaviour, but I make it clear to them why I'm cross with them without shouting. When we went to Sledmere they were both in trouble yet as soon as I finished telling them off A held my hand and T gave me a hug and told me he loves me. A said she likes that I tell them off without shouting at them. They like that I'll do stuff with them too. A was sat drawing with me yesterday while I did uni work. I'll bake with them, do crafts with them. They don't seem to be used to this. We're making paper chains at Christmas and having 2 trees and they're both excited about that.
