DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN

My cousin Michael, who lives in Brazil, is in the UK. He was in Aberdeen (Scotland) for 2weeks for work and thought he'd stop by London on his way back to Brazil to visit us. He hadn't met Joshua and Sophie until today. He's staying the night here and leaves to Brazil tomorrow night.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN

Meet Henry. Henry is my friend. We see each other almost daily and he makes my house look so nice and clean, even if just for a brief moment.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN

As Joshua refused to have his usual nap this morning, I took him to the library for Tiny Teddies. It's a session for baby and toddlers which involves singing, reading and shaking noisy instruments. The rest of the day wasn't as fun as my monkey refused to have a nap and was just grumpy and miserable as a consequence.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN

Joshua seems to be getting better at using a spoon and feeds himself his morning cereal and anything else which he can eat with a spoon, such as his yoghurt. During a moment of inspiration, he suddenly stuck his hand in the yoghurt and put it straight onto my jeans! There was just no warning!!! The cheeky boy :-o

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN

Joshua and Sophie seemed really busy playing this afternoon and spent a while laughing at each other for no apparent reason. I love it when they do that, it's just adorable. After a while they both crashed, so we put the TV on and they seemed to approve.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE

Joshua and I spent the afternoon at Becky's today whilst she de-weeded her garden. Over the weekend she sawed the bottom branches of a huge tree at the back of her garden, and we can now see her spooky shed better than before. I think it's time she bought a new one.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN

It was a long and busy day today. We went to the playground very early so we could enjoy the weather, soon after getting back home we were out again to have a nice pub lunch. After passing by the garden centre and buying lots of new seeds to plant, mostly herbs, we then played with Joshua in the back garden until his dinner time. By the time Joshua went to bed we were all exhausted, so we put the F1 on and relaxed.
