Museum expedition

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

So, as promised, we took the boys to the science museum, as Thomas’ birthday treat. In true toddler-style, the train journey itself was exciting enough, but even though Thomas has a fever at the moment, he had a really good day. We kept it simple, planning only to visit the under-6s section in [...]

Thomas was very excited to have a bath with his Thomas-the-tank-engine merchandise bubble-bath, and wear his new dressing-gown afterwards:

I had to post both these pictures because I thought it was strange that he was crossing his fingers in the first one, and I didn’t have to correct for red-eye in the second one, even though [...]

3 years on…

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Today Thomas was 3. I was very excited about his birthday, but while he is in the spotlight, I can’t help thinking about it in terms of “Wow, it’s been three years since my life was turned upside down!” I don’t mean this in a negative way, but, as millions of mums before [...]

Just the two of them…

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

So, now that I’ve got all these photos off the phone, I thought i’d post some of the older ones. But also, this is a bit of an admission, I’ve begun to admit to myself that I would like another. I can’t believe I would ever say that, but I’ve started to feel [...]

I can’t believe in the 21st century, that it is SOOOOO hard to get photos off my phone onto the laptop. My first port of call is usually bluetooth. The two things are paired, and I can send files from laptop to phone, but if I try the other way around, i get [...]

Vocab

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Ollie just said “bus” so I thought i’d list his vocabulary, as a record, as he’ll be 18 months in just over a week:
car, down, three, four, Daddy, Mumm-ay., tree, ball. eeeyuare (here you are), ereyuare (there you are). Castle, cuddle, bubble and shoe. These are all clearly discernible, used often. He [...]

First Master

Friday, October 10th, 2008

So, an exciting day for us, as we get our first ever “Master” cut. So it’s pretty much all David’s work at this stage, but exciting to see him go off to master the first 3 tracks, then take it over to the EMI Pressing Plant. (Portal Space Records).

For my part, it was [...]

Couple of photos

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

It’s been a while since the last post.

Thomas has been enjoying playgroup and started his induction week at nursery, which we had to attend every day. On thursday he woke up and said “mummy, I’ve been sick in my bed” and this was extremely true. He continued to be very ill all [...]
