Enjoy the renovating mess

I try and involve Liam in as much of the renovating mess as possible, as long as it's safe.  He learns heaps, meets lots of friendly tradespeople and of course he has tons of fun making a mess.  And I long ago came to the realisation, that it's better for him, and me, if I just give into the mess.  Besides I grew up on a farm.  (Tip: always introduce the kids to the tradies, aside from being good manners, there's a mutual understanding and respect that it brings.) 

So last weekend, he ran around and around and around in our messy front garden, as we frantically repotted plants that we thought were in the danger path of diggers/excavators.  And he told everyone in sight "I'm a messy little piglet".  It's a line from one of his books that goes .... "I'm a messy little piglet always in a scrap or muddle.  If I'm not wrestling in the mud I'm diving in a mucky puddle."  So true!

Then this is Liam a day later making the most of a pile of rubble that the excavator stacked up.  "Look at me mummy, I can slide down".  Thank you for being such a trouper xo
