Fuss Pot...

I am SO not used to being fussed over any more. I'm used to doing the mothering and fussing...

Jacques used to run in circles around me and I loved it. There was nothing to big for me to ask of him and he was forever buying flowers and chocolates just because. We went on regular dates (Jake wasn't really in the picture for long, so I guess pre-kids) and spent a lot of quiet time just enjoying each other's company. None of the men I've "dated" since Jacques have treated me in this way.

But then arrived the "boere seuntjie" and I have to say, he's pulling out all the stops, which has caught me totally offside. And I'm not left guessing about what's going on, or about how he feels. He enjoys spending time with me. He thinks I'm beautiful and lets me know it. He thinks Jake's great and knows how to get onto his level. It's really, really nice (and a lot flattering) to know where I stand.

Yesterday, we decided to take Jake through to Hout Bay for a walk on the beach and out for lunch. I offered to meet him there, but he wouldn't hear of it and insisted on coming through to pick us up. For those of you who know Cape Town, he lives in Marina da Gama, which is basically Muizenberg and a good 45 minutes drive away. Hout Bay is half way back the way he'd come from and he still had to bring us home again afterwards! On our way home, we stopped at the wheel in the Waterfront, which was AWESOME! It's expensive, but the view is gorgeous and we really enjoyed it. I had my camera with me, so I can indulge you with a few unedited pictures...

These were funny photos. He doesn't like having his picture taken so managed to get Jake to pull funny faces with him for me...

I do still have concerns about getting Jake involved in my relationships - I just think it's dangerous. At the same time though, I come as a package and if a man can't deal with my child, I need to know. I need to stop analyzing so much, don't I?

Anyway, I'll love and leave you here. Hope every one's doing well! Catch up soon XXX
