” Good Night Mummy” she said happily as she made her way over to the boys room where they had laid out an extra bed for their little sister.

I thought that I had it good and she was now ready to sleep in a separate room. I had been waiting for this day anxiously.

I couldn’t wait to reclaim my bedroom. It has been eleven long years since I had a peaceful night’s sleep. I needed my uninterrupted sleep back in order to retain my sanity.

It all went well. Or so I thought

1 hour, 2 hours

3 hours.

I see a pint size shadow gingerly opening my bedroom door and creeping in.

Operation Sleepover = FAILED.

How has it been for you getting your kid/

kids to sleep independently?

Random Blooms- Photographed on Vacation

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Wordful Wednesday Flower, wordful wednesday

A Hibiscus

Every time I travel with the kids I take the opportunity to snap some pictures with my camera of my favourite subject – flowers.

Waterlilies in a pond

For this shot I had to zoom all the way in to be able to capture a clear shot of the blooms in the water. I love how the light bounced off the water and illuminated the flowers in the pond.

A light pink bloom

I spotted this bloom on a tree. It was a really lovely shade of pink don’t you think? I think it would certainly look nice floating in a glass bowl.

Pink and yellow blooms

Tiger girl spotted this cluster of mini blooms in the garden while we were waiting for a table at a restaurant we wanted to try for lunch. It was really interesting to see the combination of colors on a flower.
