If only we could save them from themselves? but I guess that's all part of it. I hope you don't have any more stray birds though.

I had similar conversation with my 6 year old boy on sunday when from out of the blue he expressed fear about his perfectly healthy and fit dad dying!!! "I'm scared you'll both leave me" he looked at me so sadly. Reassuring words just don't seem enough do they? But that is all I had to offer. Words. We had the 'we will all die one day' conversation 'but not until we have all lived a very long life and you are all grown up with children of your own'. That seemed to help him but not really me because it threw me that he was even thinking about it. <br />On the fear of the dark - This may not be a habit you want to start but until your Mr 5 settles into the new house perhaps you could sit with him until he falls asleep.

Discussing Sleeping Beauty I said that I was so tired I could sleep for 100 years. "But Mum" she said looking yet perturbed "We need you. All we would do is wait for you".mumabuloushttp://mum-abulous.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-71422240540776744832012-07-26T13:57:18.458+10:002012-07-26T13:57:18.458+10:00Wow.

Our kids are sensitive and vulnerable sometimes to the point where it's hard when we are reminded of this when beautiful moments like this present themselves and create an imprint on our hearts and memories for us to reflect back on with fondness in years to come.

Mr5 sounds so gorgeous. Similar to my Mr4 too, who is also scared of things that go bump in the night. There have been all manner of scenarios created in his precious mind. He is also worried about things getting in. We've had dogs/birds/giants. Poor little darlings, it's all so enormous in their eyes and we are the centre of their world. I always savour those moments when he needs me right there with him too... and I try not to think of a time when he won't need me so much anymore.<br />xoAll For Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151973819133926868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-74878009838202873172012-07-25T20:15:15.873+10:002012-07-25T20:15:15.873+10:00Oh Al, *tears* what a beautiful moment for you, kn...Oh Al, *tears* what a beautiful moment for you, knowing how much he loves you.

He had seen me talking to some other parents near the school gate, but thought I'd left without collecting him! I assured him I'd NEVER do that (and meant it).<br /><br />Eldest Son went thru a similar thing when he was a bit older than 5, but I couldn't even leave the house to put a rubbish bag in the bin without him panicking! He eventually grew out of it. <br /><br />Makes your heart break, huh?<br /><br />xoxJodie Anstedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300961546795965857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-48352722361392137282012-07-25T16:41:46.610+10:002012-07-25T16:41:46.610+10:00ok you had me at forever! i'm tearing up righ...ok you had me at forever! i'm tearing up right now! i think that whole post is just adorable! my kids can't understand that they will one day want to live in their own house and ask if we can all live together forever too! oh...it melts and breaks my heart all at the same time!

This makes them freeze and then you just pick them up very gently in the towel and take the towel outside, put it on the ground and unwrap slightly and they soon fly away. The trick is not to panic, because a panicky bird means lots of bird poo everywhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-60812275834533562142012-07-25T12:47:24.339+10:002012-07-25T12:47:24.339+10:00Oh Al.

We always think of childhood as a blissful existence of nary a care in the world but our kids absorb so much stuff and their overloaded brains do throw up these strange fears.

My Miss9 is very similar - had me sobbing in a airport last year when she told me she didn't know how she was going to carry on when I died one day. Morbid but it hits you straight in the heart. I know that we'll cherish these times - because they do indeed grow up and become independent of us.Lauren @AlwaysLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679735404837158816noreply@blogger.com
