Mum on the Run...: Point + Shoot : Bentos + Babies

I think family traditions are so beautiful and?rich in emotion.

I love precious?little customs that are meaningful to family members

and that will form the basis of so many treasured memories.

We have a rather?moving Friday evening ritual around here.

Involving a sweet?local guy named Shingo.

Shingo?happens to make?THE BEST teriyaki chicken - in his?tiny kebab shop.

After work on a Friday, I look forward to gathering with my boys and sharing a Bento with my little man.

See, almost brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it.

But things have changed.

This week, there was no after work for me - but bentos nonetheless.

This week, Magoo declared himself ready to tackle a 'big boy bento' all of his own.

This greedy Mummy happily complied as Magoo's share of?her Friday feast has been increasing each week.

I've heard Mums tell of how grown up their other children seem when they have a newborn in their arms.

There's no hope for me then, because this boy has graduated to the big boy bento

- a rite of passage around these parts -?

?and bub isn't even here yet.

On a more seriously sweet note,

I had the pleasure of 'showering' a gorgeous friend's bub with a lovely bunch of ladies on Sunday afternoon.

And ladies we were -

with a stunning setting, china teacups and divine treats laid out like a magazine spread.

?I just can't wait to meet the adorable little person that was so stylishly celebrated this weekend.

How was your weekend?

Any highly emotional rituals to speak of?
