Bike ('ycle)

Eli has always liked my bicycle, but I just bought a new one and he likes it more than the last one!

The cries of "ycle" go up every morning and evening.

Stef has now inherited my old bike with bike seat and rides Eli to the Heath most days.

Bee

On Sunday morning, at the paddling pool on the Heath, Eli was stung on the foot by a bee. After 15 minutes of crying and upset the pain seemed to pass and the day carried on as normal. However at 6pm the pain came back and his foot was red and swelling and he couldn't walk on it. So the evening was spent rushing between pharmacy, nhs direct phonecalls and Camidoc. With us finally having medication and Eli asleep by about 9pm. At which point I could start packing to go to Helsinki on Monday morning. I looked in on Eli before going to bed and he was fast asleep. See you in a few days Eli!

MZ gone

Stef's Mum has gone back to Switzerland after being with us for a couple of eventful weeks.

Dodo

Elias has a new obsession with sleep. Ironic considering this is the boy who had a year and a half of major sleep issues at the beginning of his life (or his parents did!).

These days he happily put his safari explorers to bed multiple times a day, takes various bears and other animals from one sleeping place to another, lies down on the kitchen floor pulling the rug over him saying 'dodo'.
