Mum on a Mission

This new mum is on a mission…to lose weight, to be the best mum I can, to be creative and to be the best version of "ME" I can.

Separation Anxiety?

February10

DS seems to be coming into the separation anxiety phase (!).

Today, not all day but most of it, he has to be in the same room as me or sitting on/next to me or he gets upset. When I handed him over to his uncle he put his hands out to be taken back, which I did at first but then thought better of it and gave him back to his uncle again. This was the right thing to do, right? To not let him get funny around people that aren’t Mum or Dad? Hmm

He wasn’t crying and very upset when he put his arms out to come back to me so I felt fine “taking a stand” in this case but surely it’s not something we should do if he gets very upset? It will be interesting to see how he goes tomorrow if we truly are in this phase, although it will be heart-breaking for me to go to work. He’s looked after by his Nan who seems to get 3rd in line in the popularity stakes.

Guess we will find out in the morning!

Hi, I’m Cheryl and this blog is all about my missions in life.

Number 1 is to be the best mum I can to my little boy who was born in May 2010. My next priority is to lose weight which is what prompted me to start this blog in the first place. It’s  going to be a place for me to share with you on this journey. I love to be creative so will also be sharing my flashes of creativity in all things artsy and craftsy.

I’m not perfect so I will endeavour to be as honest as possible in my posts especially when it comes to any failures I will most likely have in my weight loss mission and in my new job as a Mum. The most important thing I need to remember is when I fall off the wagon that I get right back on again.
