My delicious Dacka, every night after we’ve read a book with Deski and put him to sleep, we climb into your bed and snuggle up beneath your lights and enter a world of delight. Tonight it was Horton Hatches The Egg, which was supposed to be the only book… but then we read Maisy’s Bath Time, then you talked me into The Little Red Caboose.  And each sentence I read you would ask me ‘why’… ‘Why is he out side? ‘ Why is he in the tree? ‘Why is there snow? ‘Why don’t we get snow?’ and when I started to laugh at all your questions you got annoyed with me and demanded an answer. I love your curious mind Mr O’Shea. I love it so much! x

My busy little babies! We’ve not been home for even a day….. I’ve just put you to bed and am sitting down for a cup of tea and a sugar hit before the post lunch clean up and planning session for our afternoon adventures. x right off I go…

Oh my Deski babe, your smile warms my world every single day.  Our special summer holiday was pure perfection for you and your big brother to run (crawl) , splash and giggle until utter exhaustion lead you to your sleep. You made my heart melt when you squealed with delight every time even your little toe touched the water. You would chase after every seagull you could find and I could tell by the look on your face that you were sure that you could catch each and every one of them… and now we’re all planning our move to the coast so we can enjoy this lifestyle everyday! x

One of your favourite books is The Pear in the Pear Tree by Pamela Allen and your ALL time favourite place is your Nanna and Grandad’s farm. You laugh and run and feel so free and loved every time we visit. And then every time we leave you scare Grandad, saying that you’re going to stay and live with them forever. Lucky for them your mama would never let you go… x
