Dear Luna,
It’s been a little while since I wrote and so much has happened.
Mummy has returned to work full time & daddy is now your full time stay at home carer, you have both been loving spending time together, while I have enjoyed returning to work in a kitchen as Head Chef doing what I am equally passionate about.
It’s been a big change & I have missed you & your brother so much already but it’s also been nice to have a piece of my old life back as well. Whilst watching your bond with daddy grow stronger everyday warms my heart.
Daddy has done an incredible job navigating this new world & trying to get his head around all of your appointments, team members & his new role. I’m so proud of him.
He even managed a short hospital admission with you while you were unwell with a UTI. It has been so long since you have had one but unfortunately this one really knocked you around & you had a really rough couple of weeks but watching you slowing come back to your cheeky happy self fills my heart with joy. Being at work while you were unwell was extremely hard for me but I knew daddy had you, just my mama heart tugged.
This year has already been full of so many changes.
I closed my business down last year & used the money to make a sensory room for you & your brother which you guys seem to be loving! I would give you both the world if I could. Trying to turn our home into a more function space has been an on going job & it’s starting to get there slowly!
Your new bed will hopefully arrive soon too & you’ll go into your big medical bed! Don’t ask me where it’s going to fit, we are working on that!
Next week you start ECDP, where you’ll go all by yourself (with educators) for 2 hours twice a week, I don’t think I’m ready for this! When did you get so grown?!
Your brother started kindy this year & he has had his own challenges while we navigate a diagnosis for him before school, hopefully. It’s like Déjà vu asking for help & being told to navigate the system or wait until he’s at school. Which frustrates me as he’s already having some extreme behaviours & struggling so waiting another 12 months just doesn’t seem plausible to me.
And while we navigate his diagnosis it has also made me learn a lot about my own mind & why it potentially works the way it does.
We are only a month into 2026 but our little family has already achieved so much & im so incredibly proud of us all.
I’ll endeavour to post monthly updates, work has kept me so busy & time just seems to be getting away so quickly!
Never forget how incredible you are little moon
Love always,
Mum
