Read I feel like I've not read very much this week, despite spending my life scrolling through social media, reading bits here & there. One blog feature I've been reading a lot of lately though is You Baby Me Mummy's Blog Club, for all things blogging related. Lots of great tips for beginners & experts, many of which I'm now trying to apply to Diddle Diddle Dumpling. Watched The Eclipse, of course! I was originally looking forward to it but after a day at work of being asked countless times if we were selling glasses for the Eclipse (we weren't), to then be told we should and where you could buy them instead, I started to resent the Moon for even making an appearance! But once I mentioned it to John last night and seen just how aware & understanding he was about it, I started looking forward to it again. And first thing this morning he was telling me about the Sun & Moon and how it was going to get dark; although he was also a little concerned he'd have to go back to bed when it did!
Wore Another week of work clothes & pyjamas for me but this week marked an important clothing purchase for the littlest member of our family: David's first shoes! We opted for good old Clarks, as despite their choice of boys shoes not being the best out there, I'm a sucker for their First Shoes service. The shoes we ended up with weren't my first choice but the ones I loved were just too shallow in the heel for first shoes, although I'll be heading back to see if they'll be ok for John instead! Big thank you to Granny & Papa for buying David his first shoes, just like they did John. Heard I love me a bit of Taylor Swift. Doesn't everyone? Whether they admit it or not... I was a little unsure the first time I heard Style but it's definitely a song I love more & more each time I hear it and it's forever stuck in my head at the moment. I quite like the age John's at as my dancing around singing songs like this is still entertaining & not yet embarrassing!
Made I've made a few meals this week, including Lasagne, Macaroni & tonight it's Mexican Chicken from the slow cooker, served in tortilla wraps. I might even blog the recipe, depending on how they turn out. And lastly... John has grown! At last!! A few weeks back he was suddenly eating 24/7 and sleeping longer too. Grow spurt was our first thought and given how he's suddenly shot up in height, it would seem we were right. And at long last he's out of 18-24 months trousers and into 2-3 years, albeit with a belt. Despite the growth, he's still a wee chap, weighing only 2 stone, which is incidentally the same weight as his little large brother.
How cute are David's shoes?! And that photo of the three of you is gorgeous, I love the light. I may have said this before but I love your boys' names. David and John. Such proper names, strong names and ones that they will never grow out of :) Perfect boys. Have a wonderful weekend lovely x
Aww, first shoes, very special. They are very cute, I love that you get a little picture and stuff taken now. I don't think they did that when my two got their first shoes! Hope you have a lovely weekend x
