Hi everyone,
Hope you’re having a lovely Mother’s Day! I’ll be doing a Twitter chat tomorrow (Monday) and answering all your questions so make sure to follow @hellomag and send them with #HELLOUna!
Ben’s Mum was down for the weekend to look after Aoife when we went to Rochelle’s birthday party, so we’re spending today having a ‘3 generations’ meal together – Ben’s taking his Mum and Aoife’s taking me!
I always send my Mum flowers for Mother’s Day, she loves them. I think the best thing I ever gave her was Aoife – she absolutely adores being a grandmother. I think she loves Aoife more than she loves me! I can’t wait to be a grandmother one day, but at the moment it’s far away. First, I want Aoife to have a little brother or sister. I don’t really mind which, I just think it will be lovely for her to have a sibling.
My Mum joked the other day that being a grandparent is better than being a parent, because you love the child and can spend time with them, but at the end of the day you can give them back to the parents!
Aoife’s really started getting into music – any time a song plays she gets up to dance. She’s been trying to play the guitar lately, but she’s so small she has to play it like a harp. I’ve got her her own mini guitar, so she loves to play with that. I’ll definitely get her to take piano and guitar lessons when she’s a bit older, I think she’ll really love it.
She goes to a dance class at the moment but it’s for babies and toddlers, just to get them playing and meeting other children. As well as dancing, she loves swimming and splashing around in the pool, but I won’t be taking her armbands off any time soon, she’s still much too young.
Speak soon,
Love from Una xxx
