It never ceases to amaze me how continually happy Eddy is. Even though he has been jabbed up, he's still bouncing around exploring and climbing everywhere. Yesterday Thomas and Eddy proudly paraded their I love Dad matching t shirts which made my fathers day extra special. We went to see my Dad in the morning at Lynne's for a short visit which everyone enjoyed. Eddy and Thomas both enjoyed the toasted teacakes. It's funny what you eat when you are away from home!
Recently Thomas has developed a lot more confidence in his own physical ability and has started climbing and being much more daring generally. Here he has climbed the slide at Wentworth. Whilst at Wentworth he took his scooter down some very steep grass slopes and loved being on that point of pure excitement and fear. It has been great watching this change in him.
There was a lady dressed as a clown making animals from balloons at WCG when we went. The penguin died shortly after this photograph was taken.
Well Eddy is now one, still cruising and climbing everywhere and very happy. Yesterday we had a party for him and luckily the weather held off so we could be in the garden. It was a lovely afternoon and get to see all the children having fun. On his birthday Eddy went to monkey business (!) with Thomas, Tracy, Julie, Theo and Edie. All had fun! I went to Mapplewell to complete my penultimate moderation. It isn't much fun. Happy Birthday Eddy!
I can't believe that Eddy will be 1 next week. Where has the year gone? He has developed so quickly recently, climbing everywhere, feeding himself with spoon, chattering away with an array of sounds, teeth popping out in his mouth faster than he popped out nearly a year ago and generally being a cheeky chunky monkey! Fast Eddy! He's great!
Martin next door mentioned a park in Wakefield called Pugney Country Park a few days ago. We decided to explore it today in the baking heat! Thomas found the heat difficult I think as he didn't manage much scootering around the lake. I did probably wear himself out at an activity station playing with a loudly little boy called Arnold. Eddy didn't sleep all day probably the ice cream that kept him awake on the way home!
