Questions and answers

Cat and Roz asked:

How is Tilda doing?

 :) You do know that I could make this a three pages post now, do you? :) All in all, Tilda is doing fine, she is talking, cooing, but not saying mommy or mama or something like this yet (it’s what I am waiting for, but she has some sounds that I take as mommy-sounds :)  ) She has been turning from her tummy to the side, maybe falling is a better word, but she is  practicing rolling by now, which is great news because she was sometimes a little miffed before when she did not manage to  roll from the back to the side.

She can make a dead serious face, actually she is only very focused on …. her feet.  At the moment she is putting them more often into her mouth than her hands and her tiny socks seem to be yummy. :) Then again we have started our second round of common cold, Tilda is actually the one who is doing it best, because she still laughs a lot and is not bothered too much by her running nose.

Tilda got lots of smooches and hugs from auntie Cat and she loves them a lot. :)

How is your granny doing?

Granny is still in hospital and she has had surgery the second time after they had found another tumour. But this one has been cut out yesterday. She is still in the ICU and will probably be out of it on Friday. So, these are somehow mixed news. Another frustrating bit is that we are not even close to getting anywhere near her, because she could be infected by us. This week we almost only had second hand news, which is pretty horrible for me. So, my hope is that we maybe can see granny next week. I hope this so much, but if any of  us still has a cold, we simply won't go. :(  

I am very grateful for any support at the moment and I know that your prayers and healing energy helps her. Thank you that you do this for us, Cat!

Roz asked:

What first attracted you to your husband?

Hehe, another three page answer … :) Ok, I’ll keep it short and don’t mind if everybody shakes their head now. I had seen hubby before but had no real interest at first, call it bad timing. But then I had seen him in uniform and he looked awesome, like in ‘wow and yummy’. So, this was actually the first thing I really noticed, but that was more like getting me started to look closer. :) His hands and eyes were just what I liked and he has a great voice and laughs a lot. He can be so funny, and when you talk to him you will get some real answers and no excuses. <-- Not everybody likes that, but I did and do. And once we really talked, it was too late, he had me completely. He is very charming and is very sincere and genuine, definitely old fashioned in several areas, but all this spoke to me. He knew what he wanted and would stick to any commitment. I was lucky that hubby was not interested in any other woman, because there were some who fell for his charms and would have loved to be Mrs Prince Charming. :)

If you could go on vacation anywhere, where would it be?

Any place with our family, so England is always first choice. Second choice is Ulster because we have good friends there and I’d love to see them again. Third choice would be Iceland, because I like this mix of rough rocky areas mixed with green. And I cannot get lost there, because it is pretty open, so I can always see my destination. :)

Can you play a music instrument?

As a child I have learned to play the guitar and also had accordion lessons and a few with the violin. The only one I managed was the guitar but it has never been my way of expressing emotions. So, by now I have forgotten everything and regret it now. Maybe I’ll relearn it when Tilda is a bit older and we can play together.

DF asked:

How did you come to be in a DD relationship? Was it something that you or your husband initiated, or did it come about naturally between you?

Basically, it was that I was attracted to hubby, and when we came closer he never made a secret out of his interest in DD. So, to get me into it, we had it as bedroom fun first, which was awesome and exciting, but since he had met me when I was still pretty chaotic he made it clear that DD would have to play an important role for us. He showed me what he meant and he was good at making DD clear to me, and since I had come out of my chaotic years, this was so attractive that I would always have agreed. For me DD was a major positive change in life. And since we always stuck to talking and few rules, so that I could handle this, it was somehow like coming naturally for us, but hubby definitely initiated it.

When Tilda starts walking and talking, where would you like to take her?

In general I’d like to go to playgrounds with her, meet her friends so that they could play together, go to the zoo and to the sea, feed the ducks, go swimming, to farms, so that she can see and touch sheep, goats and other farm animals, places where she can see something that excites her.

 But if you mean another country, I’d love to be in England with her for a longer time, so that she could learn speaking English like a native speaker. Here, we do use more German and even when hubby speaks English with her, we cannot be sure that she speaks it. Maybe she only develops a better passive language skill. But if she were surrounded by it, then she would definitely learn speaking English quickly. I want her to be able to speak with her grandparents without any language barrier. :) 

Ronnie asked:

What's your favourite Spring flower?

The first of my favourites are snowdrops. I love them and usually they are the first to appear in the garden. Second is crocus, because of the first strong colours, and then daffodils, because when we have them in the garden there is usually a little more sun around. I can’t wait for any of these to bloom.

What's your favourite colour in knickers?

Lol, :) pink or white. Actually I have far more white ones than pink ones, but I like something with colour.

Jan asked:

What does Tilda look like?

I wish hubby would allow some pictures online. :(  Anyways, Tilda has soft dark brown hair/fluff (not a single curl) and a little button nose. She has lovely rosy and slightly chubby cheeks and when she purses her lips, this is awfully cute. She has pretty brown eyes and when she laughs she really does it with all of her face, and her eyes are sparkling. Actually, laughing is more like a whole body shaking experience for her, because she likes waving her arms around then and the rest follows. :) Whenever there is anything near, she grabs it. She has grown and stretched quite a lot and is getting close to seventy cm now, and seems to be double-jointed. She can move her legs so easily up and her feet into her mouth, wow. I think Tilda does not really look fragile, more like one who is just waiting to be allowed to stand up and walk, I think she’ll be a big success in some sorts of sports, and she is definitely very active and has really quick reactions. She is a real grabber, which means that I have to keep my hair out of her reach. So, she is a bundle of energy, but a wonderful one with a friendly laughing face. :)

What is hubby's best attribute?

Oh my, that’s difficult to decide. I am always amazed because he keeps his cool in all sorts of situations where I’d simply freak out or be scared to death. So, just the right quality for me, because I am such a chicken. And I love that he has a great sense of humour and that it is easy to talk to him and feel cherished.

What is the one word that describes you best?

Hmm, ‘insecure’ probably. I think there is nothing easier than leaving me in some sort of doubts.

Sub hub in phx asked:

Do you have entertain desires to be a Dominant, even if for a short time during role play?

No, not really. I have tried using implements on hubby, to see what it is like and it made me really feel bad. I love being at the receiving end during punishment, discipline and especially during the nice spankings, but doing this the other way round holds no attraction for me at all. I may become better at giving orders over the years, when my little one becomes older, but at the moment I couldn’t even imagine that I could enjoy it.

Thank you for the great questions, and if you have more feel free to ask them. Since we are currently all a little ill, it might take longer than usual till I have given my answers, but that’s the worst that cold happen. :)

And wherever you are, have a wonderful second half of the week!
