Seeing the happiness on my daughter's face, truly is the most incredible feeling I could feel as a human.
She didn't even care about the bruise forming on her upper cheek from having walked into a pole! What a champ.

It was truly awesome seeing a new level of development from her. And I can only imagine all the future dates we will go on. With the youngest joining when she is older too.

My Eldest loved it. Not sure if it was just the show or if it was the entire dressing up and going out experience. We got a milk and hot chocolate order.

It was a good weekend. No worries or stress. Quick and easy, into a stunning midnight dress with stars. Necklace and bracelets and hair done back into a hoop.
I did the hair brushing. And I'll say, I'm pretty good at it too.

I didn’t wake this morning because of the pain. I got jabbed in the stomach and then the mouth, a Combo Attack. As awkwardly as a paralyzed octopus, and silently as possible, I take First Duty Watch and hussle the girls out of the room to let the wife sleep.
It's going to be a long day!

I, being the gloriously generous and stupid father I am, decide the best course of action is to twist and turn to give my girls the growing space they need, careless of my own impending predicament of rupture, come first light.

The Eldest had crawled in sometime in the darkest hours of the morning, around 1am. Bringing an entourage of duvet and teddies. Her shark is bigger than her, but she still managed to fit everything onto our bed. On top of me.

My focus comes back to the mounds of mass hanging to my sides. The culprits, my daughters. The one is teething, so she requires milk during most of the night for comfort, and then decides that sleeping horizontally when everyone else is vertical is the way to go.

I can feel the burning sensation originating and radiating outwards from the centre of my back. I say centre, but really, it's my entire back. Where does all this come from? My bed is a queen, bought for space but mainly for comfort.

Yup, my bad. I should have totally let Mama handle this one today. But then, my subtle suggestions for toys that I can play with too, has its own benefits.
Just don’t let it be a ghastly baby doll! Again!

So the promise of buying a new toy, or a book, or anything she wanted with the proceeds was hugely beneficial.
My pride soon took a turn at the unrealised horror that I had just unleashed. An onslaught of ideas and things she wanted to buy were hurled at me without a single breath between.

Yes, she was going to be losing her bicycle. No, it wasn’t because it was broken or she was in trouble. No, she would not get it back, ever.
But, she already had another bicycle that was newer, better and that she liked more. And more importantly, the old one was getting sold.

I miss when my cat, Sirius, spent his life on my desk and lap. Now it consists of the bed or in the garden. I only ever see him when it's time for food.

Upon entering the bathroom, we couldn't find Eldest anywhere. That is, until we noticed the foam mountain shaking ever so slightly and a blast of water and soap covered both myself and the little one.
Oh, the war was on.

"Mamama nan nanana mama," my smallest little hurricane came chatting slowly after, also trying to strip down like her big sister. She couldn't quite manage it.
She looked up at me, raised her arms and smiled with a dirty face. I could only smile back, reaching down to take her in.

The result was a hurricane blowing past me, as Eldest darted for the bath as if her life depended on it. I was thankful that somehow, she had managed to rid herself of her clothes in those milliseconds. They lay at my feet.

I had expected an immediate response, but they were outside in the jungle with Mama, uprooting the plants and replanting them with care. Muddy doesn't do their appearance justice.
"Girls, your glorious foam bath is ready!" I tried again.
