Mummy it's TOO BRIGHT

I love the sunshine streaming into our front room.

I love it most when it's not direct sunlight, and you still get an amazing amount of light, but without the huge contrast (and burning on the back of my head from sitting in the window playing on the laptop...).

Because I missed almost all opportunity to blip yesterday, until it was too late and I struggled to get enough light, I thought I'd see what I could make of the direct sunlight today. It has its benefits, it makes our blue sofa an almost black background, with very little effort from me.

But evidently it has its drawbacks - Ben was squinting in the light, saying "too bright!" and couldn't give me a smile.

I asked him to smile and say cheese for me yesterday (the photos that were rejected simply for being out of focus) and he did a Katie and gurned.... I should have blipped it just for funniness!



Today has seen me happy and crying already. Happy because I feel things are getting really exciting at church, and I feel that God is using me as well in this. Crying because it's the third time this week that I've felt less-than-indispensable to Ben. He's already been put to bed twice this week by Steve, without the need for mummy milk; and today when I left him in crèche and then had to be fetched because he was sobbing for mummy, he didn't want his usual comforter of boob and sobbed into my shoulder for daddy instead. He only wanted daddy cuddles. Didn't want me.

I was devastated.
