Today just happens to be Valentines Day. Not a day Rob and I ever celebrate, so instead of highly overpriced bouquets of roses or cheap mass produced white teddy bears holding tacky red hearts filling the house, we had the usual 3 tons of washing hung over every surface in the house trying to dry.. still a decoration of sorts! :p
Day to day life has its own special kind of romance about it. I'd much prefer to sit on the veranda with Rob with a cup of Chai and watch the rain while Noah enjoys a swing, than to sit in an overcrowded resturant filled with people who are only there because someone has told them they HAVE to today.
We had a family dinner next door with Robs family tonight. Chris, Holly and Graeme have stopped in for a few days on their way through and Noah has fallen head over heels for Holly. Even though he's not been in a particulaly good mood today (teething) he has managed many a smile for his Aunty Holly.
We obviously forgot to mention to Noah that we dont celebrate Valentines Day, because not only has he developed his first crush, but he also celebrated the day with another milestone. - Rolling from his tummy to his back for the first time. He scared himself a little and layed there for a sec staring at me as he regained his bearings.. the promptly did it again. He's quite proud of his new trick! and so am I :)
