I can't believe week 4 is over. The end of summer holiday blues are hitting hard, even though I'm not actually back at work in two weeks like most teachers. We've had such a gorgeous summer just at home, following our own little routines. We've been so busy, but not too busy to stop for plenty snuggles and naps. The weather has been decent so we've spent so much time outside, Henry's favourite place to be. He's been beyond loving and good, there hasn't been a day where I've felt frustrated or cross with him, not a day where he's thrown a tantrum or caused a fuss. He's had one potty accident the entire time (day and night) which is pretty impressive and he's just turning into such a beautiful big boy and the best company. I'm so so glad that we've had this time together before Baby Simba arrives. Normal maternity leave would only have given us a week or two, but thankfully a well timed summer baby has meant more time with this beautiful big boy.
A walk in Causey Woods with Marmar and Parpar too, complete with a little picnic snack and picking wild raspberries in the woods.
Another fab free morning at our OASES park class. This week's theme was environmental art and this little one just loved it.
A peg butterfly, clay pot, nature colours and nature rainbow
Followed by our usual lunch at Marmar's and some outdoor fun for Henry. We also went to the community centre for the weekly film, The Good Dinosaur, which was really lovely.
A lazy Wednesday morning and then lunch and swimming at Consett pool. This little one loves the water and had a fab time.
My friend came down on Thursday with her tiny 7 week old baby and I didn't take one photo. Agh! On the evening we went out for dinner for my father in law's birthday and I must say, Henry looked super smart in his new Boden tractor cardi
Checking out his new caterpillars which we are growing into butterflies. He woke up, asked to see them immediately and greeted them with "well hello there my tiny little darlings"
A rainy day meant we were off to the cinema to see Finding Dory.
Followed by Wagamamas of course!
Saturday morning breakfast at Flat White. My happy place. At some point in the near future (and in our next house) I need a long, solid wood table like this for lazy family weekend breakfasts.
And Saturday dinner at Akbars
Continuing the food theme...Sunday lunch at the Pavillion. This little crazy loved the chicken and sweetcorn soup.
Snuggling with his Parpar
Sunday night with no little pickle to put to bed. He pestered Marmar at lunch for a sleepover and of course she said yes! So daddy ran me a bath, made me tea and brought me chocolate. It's amazing what he'll do for an hour on the Xbox with the boys!!
