It is strange having just one child for three days a week, especially after a summer of having four every day. It is a big adjustment, especially for Cora who doesn't stop asking for Finn whenever he is gone. She has always had brothers around her, always had a playmate at her side and we are slowly adapting to the new normal with plenty of playgroups and time with friends so she doesn't find it too strange.
It feels so free in a way, that I can take her out and not have to keep looking for the other one. As she gets older and into more things, we can do those without thinking about whether it is what everyone wants to do. She can have me to herself which she is definitely enjoying and I love when she naps and I get a few minutes to myself!
There is still a year until Cora is entitled to her funded hours at nursery and at the moment I am not planning on sending her until next September. Finn will then start school and I won't know what to do with myself! I hope we can enjoy the few days a week we get without any of the boys around and I hope she stops missing Finn so much soon!
We were asked if we wanted to choose something from Bambinista after we loved the Huxbaby dress we got in the summer (I have to hide it some days as Cora would wear it every day if she had the choice) and I had already been eyeing up a couple of dresses from Small Stories. It isn't a brand I have heard of before but the styles and prints are amazing and my wishlist is still growing. I love this cloud print though and the colours are so lovely and soft, just like the dress. Cora is a very petite two year old so I knew that choosing 2-3 was a gamble but I think it works a little oversized with folded up sleeves and she is only going to get taller (eventually).
Bambinista sell a fantastic range of brands that we know and love and I am loving discovering new ones through them too!
Thank you to Bambinista for sending Cora this beautiful dress.
