I'm sitting with a small boy, perched on my knee and entranced with In The Night Garden. Personally Upsy Daisy sets my teeth on edge but I have a soft spot for OCD Makka Pakka.
Anyway, I have a small window of free time so I thought I'd do a quick catch up:
Our dining room/stairs/ landing is almost complete. The lush stair carpet arrived on thursday so then we could put up my rouges gallery of photos and it looks great. The tres expensive wood floor that we scrimped and saved for goes down on monday (and tues and weds!) and then we are done! If I ever see another banister or staircase spindle I may cry.
Jacob is now running about like a proper little boy. He has started saying 'hiya' in the last few days and that is pretty darn cute. He is also COVERED in bruises because a) he knows no fear and b)he can climb on the furniture now.
I'm loving being a full time mum. It was definitely the right choice for me.
Sure start is great. And free.
We have no money, we'll have no holidays for a long while but I'm content. Very.
I'm making curry for tea.
