my journey with children

Erica loves to be bare feet and recently we watched a documentary about this, about grounding.   I have never thought how important it is to have at least half an hour a day bare feet.  It is impossible to do this in winter but as spring is here, we can enjoy and fill up ourselves with the earth energy. Do you like to walk bare feet? p.s. this is the documentary: https://www.groundology.co.uk/videos?show=the-earthing-movie

Erica is back to kindergarten. For a few hours, I am only with Ava. It is more silence in the house and she can sleep longer and deeper. Ava laughs a lot and smiles.. very beautiful to see her flourishing from one day to another. Sometimes I don't have time to notice this. I have to pay attention to Erica always, not to do anything to the small one. This focus on both, takes away a lot of energy...

I didn't suffer from Corona as much as I suffered from the quarantine with two children for 14 days. We had very mild symptoms and we were lucky.  Erica really wants to play with Ava....but no chance for now.  She needs to be explained and to be told that she needs to wait a few more months. However she calls Ava all the sweet names possible in Romanian and in German and in the same time she finds it extremely funny to scare her. Erica comes on the tip of her feet to Ava, and then she starts to scream. I go crazy... Explanations, theories why not to do this. In the end what it worked out is to scare her in the same manner and to see why is not nice to do this to her smaller sister. 

Erica was so content to have us home. She missed me a lot but when we entered the door with Ava, she passed by me and went directly to her. She was so curious to see her. She waited 9 months and kissed a belly with bebe inside.  She liked to hold her in the arms and we made many things different than before, just to feel it's totally a special day.  First day at home in a body not so fit with two children. How was your arrival at home after giving birth?

It's getting closer to go home. I am happy!!! Erica, my daughter, couldn't come to see us, only my partner for one hour per day (pandemic rules).  We staid 3 days here in order to have this examination 2 for the newborn babies. This includes also a hearing screening, which was done twice today, while Ava was sleeping.  I kept reading during pregnancy different articles about how to handle with your first child when the second one is born. I had this strong wish not to fail in introducing Ava to Erica, and to start the first weeks with the right foot, to make it as easy as possible for Erica. Today, when I got so close from this moment, Erica meeting her sister and starting a different phase in our family, I started to read again, to search for ideas, experiences of other parents. It felt too much at one point. I got so overwhelmed, my space got narrow. I got so tired, streesed and sad... It feels very hard what will come next. So I close all 15 tabs with articles a...
