These little whispers

Balun leaned in twirling my hair with one hand and twirling an earring with his other and whispered..... 

"What do I do when I am a grown up and I feel shy and your not there".

Wow.....

These little whispers were just magical and remind me of the gift it is to be a mum and to be a mum to this sweetest boy.

We spoke quietly as he wanted no one to hear. We spoke of how powerful his little heart is and how he can change any overwhelming feeling through touch, words and believing, through our little ways that we practice and gently reminded him of the things we do.

Balun was nodding and thinking while still twirling my hair.

Bridie was close and said, "you can always say what mum tells us each day.... we are loved, we are safe, we are kind, we are brave, we are smart".

Balun smiled and said, "and just like when I was scared and couldn't get down the ledge at camping mummy and I said quietly, come on Balun, come on Balun and I got down all by myself. I was crying but I did it. Is that ok I was crying mum".

How beautiful!

We continued to talk and and read a story called, Parachute. A little boy who found his courage along the way just as Balun is each day.
