Grandma's Orange T-Shirt

Well, not actually Grandma's T-Shirt. A gift from Grandma to Eddie, bought on her trip to Lord Howe Island. And to celebrate how great it fits I (Mum)....(yes I am finally back) had to take some snaps this morning.


Pens and power-points aren't his usual playthings...maybe this is why he looks so happy...or does he...












Orange T-Shirt also helps make out the blur of fast limbs, wild running boy...



Bye

blameless bourgeois domesticity (T)

Anita is in the next room talking to Eddie, a conversation they both find amusing, though it's fairly high on repetition and relatively low on semantics. Tonight we're going to meet with Sam, Becca and some other friends and eat at Le Relais De Venise which for some reason is a precise replica of a restaurant in Paris. They only have one dish which is steak and french fries, and I have been looking forward to it all day.

Is this a smile?

What noise does a lion make...? (T)

The Lakes (T)

We spent the last week in a converted barn just on the edge of the Lake District, near Whitehaven. This is also the starting point for the "coast to coast" walk that you can do across England, which my parents did 10 years ago.

While we didn't really do justice to the fell walks that are available, we did enjoy the lovely countryside and strolled around a few lakes. (Have a look on youtube for the little video). The boy is walking well now, and walked with us on some of the smoother paths, occasionally taking it on himself to repeatedly turn around and go back down the path we'd been walking.
There was also a nice moment on the holiday, not captured electronically, where Eddie was trying to drink from his water bottle while Anita was trying to sneak a mouthful of some unwanted food (vegetables probably). Anita would slip the spoon towards his mouth as he went to drink and he'd then shut his mouth closed. They both tried this several times, neither succeeding in their aim, and eventually the boy turned his head to one side and laughed.

Window Cleaning (T)

We had our windows cleaned recently, greatly improving the light in our flat.

As you can see (i) Eddie enjoyed watching from a safe distance (ii) if you know how high our flat is, this guy is not really on the right page for health and safety.
