Gotta love that big toe....

How can his dad possibly question his parentage? Poor LL!

Rare glimpse of BB

It's not very often nowadays where I can take a close up picture of my biggest boy and cherish every detail of his perfect face, but here I got the opportunity when one worn out little soldier fell asleep lying on the rug in the middle of the day.

A rare treat indeed (the rest whilst he slept that is!)

Stop......Daddy time!!!!

I found myself on a little overnight trip to Manchester to see the Queen of Pop herself Madonna a couple of weeks ago. BFS was left literally holding the fort with 3 kids and a dog (my brother's mutt on vacation!)Even I haven't had the joy of that many extra mouths to look after......

Anyways I digress. The trip was great. I got to hook up with a friend and meet his family for the first time which was fab. I was fed and watered and got some time to browse the shops at my leisure. Feeling a bit guilty about leaving them all I got each child a little gift (even BFS got a treat from his favourite Hotel Chocolat)

Through my own blatant stupidity I missed my flight home!!! (Another story for another day) My heart did stop beating for a split second as I thought about how my loving husband would surely blow his top at me being such a dizzy moo, but I managed to get on another flight the same evening - so at least made it home to see 3 smiling faces at the breakfast table as they received their little pressies from Manchester!!!

Boy racer.....

Phew once again I'm missing the good stuff! Instead of sharing my swollen with pride heart story on our Big Boy's achievement of riding his pedal bicycle a the tender age of 2 (and 10 months) I'll direct you over to his dad's blog about it instead.....

I will however let you see the boy in action!

Mair Teeth Than a Ferrari Gearbox

LL has 4 now! 2 new ones on the top.

Oh, and he is pulling himself up to standing all on his ownsome too.

Big boys, big beds.....

Both of our boys upgraded their sleeping arrangements today. One with much more gusto than the other (who to be honest was completely oblivious to his changed surroundings - he had his pillow to snuggle into and that's pretty much all he cared about.......(LL))

As for his big brother - well - how much excitement can one 2 year old handle in the space of 5 minutes???

He had left the room before the converted bed had been dressed with a new duvet and pillow (neither of which he'd had before) and upon his return his little face was grinning from ear to ear! He fell upon the bed, then climbed under the blankets, lay with his head on the pillow to test that out, then 'read' his books in bed to make sure that was good too. Boy was he chuffed.

I just hope he doesn't fall out tonight!

Daddy even convinced him that now he's a big boy and he has a special pillow and quilt, that he now doesn't need his comfort blanket as that's for babies. He kindly donated it to his little brother and went and put it in his cot.

It's always steps forward with children. Never ones back.
