You see, as an incurably hopeless, wish-upon-a-star daydreamer, when my first baby boy came into my life, I swiftly realised that being the parent you thought you would be, and creating family memories to treasure in the way you imagined before your baby was born is a real challenge.Ĭhildhood is gone in the blink of an eye and I wanted to enjoy every moment I could and make it as fun as possible. I’m so happy you’re here!Īs an exhausted mom to 3 beautiful boys aged 5-11, Keep Up With the Jones Family began as a family blog and turned into my passion. It’s the day everyone says they’re waiting for – the day they can get on and do things in the house – but I’m just so sad! How do I cope?
I’ve got the hours of 9.30-3 to myself to work everyday now.
He’s also much quicker than my other two at maths for his age and so I’m also filled with a mean-feeling kind of conflict in my heart over him having a jolly good time with his friends whilst he’s so little and whilst the government haven’t stepped in and ruined that year of school yet – and wanting him to crack on and not stop his amazing progress or hinder his potential by being so quiet and potentially overlooked.Īnyhow, this morning I got his Tapestry information so I feel a little bit happier that I can see his expression doing tasks at school and see how he’s doing. And I know that’s unusual for a five year old, but still. Even if he’s terrified, he remains stoic. He doesn’t complain, whine, tell, ANYTHING. Not only is he so quiet – and I mean at school, not at home at home he is the foghorn of the family, the one I’d want on a boat with me in misty weather – but he’s, and I cringe when I write this, RESILIENT. I could hear the Jurassic Park music playing in my head as I wandered out, worrying constantly about him as he is SO quiet. Īfter nearly crying on my way in, I nearly cried on my way out. Then we bounced up the field to Lyoto’s classroom, popped him in as he wandered in like he was ninety years old, to then be chased back down the field by a much more spritely version of himself as he realised he’d gone into class holding Hero’s lunchbox. Anyhow, lost property hadn’t found it yet so fingers crossed for this evening.
We’re not sure whether it was on the field or in his classroom, but it wasn’t there last night when it came to washing up time. I dropped off Jensen to walk into school with his Dad’s lunchbox because somehow last night in the rainy confusion of not just getting ourselves home but also two friends who were coming over to play, he left it at school. This morning, it went a little something like this. Last night the boys uploaded their very first YouTube toy review that they’d done themselves with no direction from me – Foodie Roos – but this morning…Ĭlick here for our Toy Review Catalogue to read our reviews before you buy!
