Warm and Dry

I came across a blog post based on a post from Miss604 about Breastfeeding problems & controversy at H&M in Canada. It struck me how sad our society is. We have decided to think that breastfeeding is too crude… yet in my opinion, breastfeeding is the most beautiful natural experience there is. So I thought I would share my experiences with the world. This is a short video I took many moons ago because I did not want to even slightly diminish the beauty of breastfeeding. Enjoy.

We travelled again today, and as usual not without mishaps. We travelled by Steam Packet and Virgin train.

The boat arrived slightly late, we then got caught up in traffic and as a result missed the train. The next train was cancelled and so it took us at least 2 hours more to arrive home.

On the plus side, on the train we were in a first class cabin marked as Standard, and we got to eat Chinese in Liverpool. And Arthur enjoy it!

Photos of Arthur up for grabs!!

Arthur received his duckling 2 certificate but I was expected to pay for it. Feels like it undermines the achievement. It is not like they could not have added to cost of the paper to the lessons. It really destroyed the moment.

We had a family dental appointment and Arthur was so cute. He knew he was going to the Dentist and said that the Dentist was going to look into his mouth and pull out his teeth! He was so good too.

I like sunflowers and their sunny disposition! I miss having one this year. I should have thought of it earlier. Still the neighbour has one…. I can take a photo of theirs when it flowers. Meanwhile… this is my own home grown sunflower from last year. Ok Ok, Arthur’s home grown sunflower from last year!

Today was a doubly special day. It was Father’s Day and My Birthday. We celebrated by going to Chessington for the day. It is nice to celebrate as a family. Uncle Randolph and Grandmama joined us to celebrate.

We then went to Chinese at Shangai in Staines. Keri popped by to say Happy Birthday. It was really special. We even had a present for Arthur!

We started our holiday by going to Legoland. We started off our Tussaud Annual Pass Tickets. It was fantastic. Uncle Randolph and Grandmama joined us for the day. Arthur really seemed to have a wonderful time. It was quite funny he had fallen asleep when we arrived and he did not want to wake up!! But then he had a wonderful time.

Friday 13th is unlucky for some but generally not for me.

Today we travelled from the Isle of Man to Luton and unusually nothing much went wrong!! It was lovely to all travel together on holiday. I love true family holidays and this one is particularly special.

Today we received Arthur’s new bed. Owen came home at 5 and we ate quickly so we could immediately begin on building it. By around half eight it was done. Arthur was really excited.

And now my little baby is sleeping in a grown up bed and is a little boy!!

We ordered Arthur a bed last week. We really cannot wait until it arrives. We think Arthur likes it too. We were going to buy a mid high bed with a slide and tent but we thought it might encourage playing rather than bedtime. With this bed, it is still fun but it won’t say lets play when it is bedtime. Hopefully it should be here soon.
