DAY FORTY

Joshua's constantly climbing on to his pushchair and making himself comfortable. It's like his corner. Today he decided to try something a little different. He turned the pushchair upside down and sat on it at ground level - if you get the picture. Joshua was very pleased with himself and his discovery.

DAY THIRTY-NINE

It seems that Winter is almost over and Spring is around the corner. The weather today was quite pleasant and the sky was a beautiful blue. I can't wait until I can leave the backdoor constantly open so Joshua can come and go as he pleases.

DAY THIRTY-EIGHT

My poor baby has had a fever since yesterday afternoon and has spent all day with a high temperature. There really wasn't much to do and he just wanted his Mummy's lap all day.

DAY THIRTY-SEVEN

We took Joshua to his favourite playground. There are always lots of toddlers there and he seems to really enjoy it even though most of the toys are a little too old for him. The playground faces the river, which I just love to sit and stare at. It's a shame the council are trying to develop the area by adding buildings. So far the residents have managed to stop that and I just hope the area remains as nice and child friendly as it is now.

DAY THIRTY-SIX

This is what occasionally awaits us after Joshua has gone to bed. It was already bad when he was on his own, but then Sophie came over and things got a lot worse. I try to hopefully encourage him to put his toys away by putting them all away with him before he goes to bed, but today there was just no energy left in me to tidy it, so Taro has cleared most of it now.

DAY THIRTY-FIVE

We had another Joshua day today which included going to a playgroup in the morning and playing together in the backyard in the afternoon after a short nap. He love sit when I blow bubbles and he tries to catch them.

DAY THIRTY-FOUR

We finally took Joshua swimming today for the first time this year. He was trying to jump in the water before we were even in. He is such a fish and just can't get enough of being in the water.
