This morning I was woken up really early by Levi excited that it was Mother's day and wanted to give me his present. He had made a little wooden hand mirror, that he had painted blue and stuck hearts and stars on it. It was perfect, made more perfect by his statement;
"Mum, You can look into it and see how beautiful you are"
What a charmer!
Then we started the day. Swimming at 7.30am. Soccer at 9am. Levi is getting much more out of soccer this year. Being a year older has made all the difference. He doesn't cry at all and loves the running after the ball. He is still with all of his friends and today got 2 goals. When his friend Natey who is 3 was sad because he hadn't been able to get a goal, Levi took him aside and explained that on a team if one person gets a goal, everyone on the team gets it as well. It made Nate happy again. I love his nature so much, competitive but never at the cost of a friend's feelings.
This afternoon, we had a working bee to help Jo get on top of things at the farm. Most of the kids came over to help and Di and Brian as well. It was great. There was plenty of work and good spirits from all. The trees all got trimmed. The edges of all the paths were all cleaned. I weed whacked with a whipper snipper for about 3 hours and now I can barely open my hands but it was great to have baby sitting and be able to just work hard, without having to think too hard. Levi got drinks for everyone and handed them around. He had his mates Zac and Alex to play with, so he had a really busy day as well. He dropped into bed and was asleep almost instantly. He is in there talking as I type. He always seems to talk in his sleep when he is really really tired.
