driving with my girls

I drove today alone for the first time with both my girls in the back. 

I remembered when I first did this with Erica only in the back, she was 3 weeks old. My feet were trumbling and I remembered I felt like it was my first day of driving. Even though I had 15 years of driving behind me. 

I used then and now with Giulia a mirror to see them. Which I installed in front of them. 

Besides the driving  challenge, it came along the challenge to get them ready almost in the same time and to get out of the house. 

How do you manage this stress with two children?

 I never thought I would feel so strangely emotional about this day—the first day of school for Erica, my oldest daughter. It's a swirl of mixed feelings and emotions. For six years, you’ve struggled with a small child who cried because she didn’t want to go to kindergarten. She was sick countless times, and most of those times she was in your arms. And now, here she is—a school child.

I embrace this day with open arms—the newness and the unknown that’s ahead—and I’m happy about it! I’m excited to get to know the futu

Today the midwife recommended me to put the hands inside the sleeping sack. In this way the child will sleep more peaceful and longer.  Like this, if she sleeps, 2-3 hours, I can go out to playground with Erica or just to spend more time with her. She wants a lot to be in my arms, to be the baby.

playing playfully

  No kindergarten here... does anybody feel me? : ) I love my children so much but to be able to take care of them separately at least for a few hours, I find it healthy for them but for me as well. But it is how it is. Sometimes I think to myself it would have been easier if they were twins. At least they would have been at the same level with the growing. Here, one is crying - 3 months old, the other one is running  - 3 years old. Calm and catch the faster the one you can. However today was the hardest day for a long time now, and at one point I said "enough, I am exhausted but we go out, to take all of us three a big breath of "spring" weather (4 degrees)."   Once we were out, Ava slept on the scarf and Erica ran like she never ran before in her life and then she started to play very funny with the swings. in the back of our block of flats it is a playground totally simple. The attraction is the swing. And besides the normal way of swinging which has to be very f
