Blueskies - photo a day

[lnr]

Another lovely day. My turn for a lie in, which helps ;) a chilled out morning, then Uncle Pete arrived for lunch (turkey soup, turkey sandwiches and Christmas cake) and stayed for the afternoon. Another nice brisk walk to Stapleford, intending to let Matthew play on the swings, but he fell asleep, so we all had a go instead. Lovely blue skies and fiery contrails. Some fun watching all the boys play together with Matthew's even newer toys, then another nice meal all together (turkey curry, leftover roasties and trifle :) Sad not to see Alice and Val, but with a possibly infectious Matthew and a long drive for a tiny baby they decided it was more sensible to stay home. Sent Pete off with more baby clothes and toys for Alice - but he forgot the leftover trifle (all the more for me)! The leftover mountain in the fridge is gradually reducing at least, though we have a really monstrous quantity of cheese. Matthew's still spotty, and going a bit scabby, and coughing, but he still seems very well in himself and a bit hungrier for solids again today. Might give NHS 111 a call tomorrow just in case.

Slight fluiness followed by spots that scab over after a couple of days? Sure it's not chickenpox? (Rowan just had it.)

Thought that for a bit but it's looking more like hand foot and mouth.

What counts as a lie in?

Mike getting up with Matthew rather than me :) after I've provided milk of course - though today Matthew only woke at 7:30 anyway. Which makes a nice change from 5:30 or 6am. I'm off back to sleep once they'd done with nappies and clothes next door. I think on Boxing Day I actually got up around 9am.

Sounds nice, though Edward usually sleeps in until 9ish (after feeding sometime in the early hours) and forces me to get up. Dan mostly does bedtimes which can go on until 1am.
