Photo-a-day | Week 4

25|365. Silly faces on the trampoline

26|365. This kids got pedalling skills.

27|365. My beautiful birthday flowers.

28|365. The beginnings of the slow and painful process of packing up an entire house.

30|365. Getting ready for school.

32|365. Sometimes I'm woken at 4 a.m. by my co-sleeping baby, who is no longer sleeping, but being drawn to the light like a little moth in the night. 

33|365. I have given up trying to keep him away from the toilet. Instead I sanitise it pretty much every hour. Cleanest toilet and best toy ever.

Photo-a-day | Week 3

16|365. Tess's window. A few of her favourite things.

16|365. Blue Monday, the third Monday of January – supposedly the most depressing day of the year, when we in Britain are at our most melancholy.  Christmas is over, with little to look forward to, a hammered bank account, a bulge around the waist, gloomy weather, a return to work, already failed New Years Resolutions. (Does not apply to Americans who usually have the third Monday in January off, thanks to MLKJ).

17|365. Outside play after school.

18|365. Daddy has been working evening shifts this week, which means we get to have him around during daylight hours. We've put him to work on some outside clean up!

19|365. In love with that gap-tooth smile.

20|365. Her signature hair style. Messy braids, one on each side.

21|365. Running on cobblestones. One of those things that is such a normal part of their childhood, but so completely different from my own childhood.

7|365. We are making progress in the continuous saga of potty training this four year old. The kid will actually WILLINGLY wear a pair of underpants now! Hurray!  Slow and steady and in his own time is how he likes to get things done.

8|365. Tess has become such a great little reader. I often ask her to read books to her little brother while I get the baby to bed. I love seeing them snuggled up together and hearing her read, and Lewis asking her questions about the story.

10|365. Presents from someone we love in America!

11|365. In the baby buggy.

12|365. Testing boundaries

13|365. The baby bouncers, the baby swing, the Bumbo chair have all been sold or donated. Now it's the baby walker, and push along toys that I look forward to clearing out as this little guy continues to grow. I love all the gear that has made life with my three babies a little easier, but I can't help but look forward to never tripping over these bulky baby items ever again.

15|365.  Bedtime stalling antics!
