Updates on the Bean

[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] Cot Last night Tiny was asleep between us after I’d fed him. e flailed around a bit trying to sprawl, and in a barely awake state, crawled over the top of me heading for his cot. I helped him along and covered him up with his blanket. He fidgeted a bit more, got himself comfortable with his head on his pillow and promptly fell asleep.

Ho hum

[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] Both the boys are currently asleep, which makes it kinda hard to walk the dog. I managed to catch up on washing today, though right now I should be folding nappies, so of course I’m 3ding. I also ordered some more fluffy mail, another hemp nappy (coz they are great) and one of the new pocket nappies from BubbaJ to try and five boosters coz we keep running out for some obscure reason.

Nup

[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] JJ and Tiny were in the shower earlier when I heard JJ laughing loudly, and yelling for me. I went in there to see what was so funny (plus I was going to jump in there soon anyway). Apparently JJ had been wanting to wash his hair, so he asked Tiny if it was all right if he put him down.

Two more things

[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] Today Tiny climbed up onto the dog couch. We didn’t see it. I was doing something on the computer, JJ was studying. I heard JJ exclaim “How did you get up there?” turned around and saw Tiny perched up on the dog couch, cute as anything and looking very pleased with himself.

Cute boy

[imported from livejournal and backdated] Everyone thinks my baby is cute. I agree with them but I’m biased ;) Had that many people tell me how he is the cutest little baby they’ve seen for a while, how he’s so happy, has such a cute smile, and is so observant and seems so intelligent, gives reaffirmationt hat I don’t need but still makes me happy to hear ;) I love my adorable baby!

Nice day

[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] Had a nice day today. Got to meet Carlia from AB and her cute little almost 2yo, as well as a bunch of other “alternative” types. Met up with Carlia and some other people at the markets, then had to double back to the car park so we could put Tiny’s car seat in Carlia’s car coz she was going to give me a ride back.

Education whinge

[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] After observing Tiny yesterday and how it’s becoming more and more blatantly obvious how he’s learning things by experimentation, I wonder why the control freak government insists that the ONLY way kids will ever learn anything is if someone is forcing them to sit down and read things. I think it goes to show how blatantly stupid and ignorant people are, and I’m sure I could come up with all sorts of conspiracy theories about how they’re homogenising everyone into compliant citizens by stamping out individuality, and leaving it so the only way people can think they are unique and special is just by being selfish (which is not the same as being individual) because they have no other sense of self.

He's walking!

[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] Well, not quite, but he’s very close. He’s only been crawling for a month O_O We were playing the game where I say “Can the baby…stand by himself?” and let go of him, and catch him before he loses his balance. He thinks it’s a great game, and lately has been able to balance for a little while before falling over.

Stuff that's been

[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] There’s us after just having fitted Tiny’s new bike seat onto me new bike. Handles like a dream, I don’t even feel his weight anymore, cept when he decides to lean on one of my arms when he’s checking out the road or sleepy, apparently it’s more comfortable than the headboard o_O But yeh, we’ve been doing a bit of that bike riding thing, going to do it more often as petrol prices soar, and hey bike riding is great fun.

Today

[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] The day began with Tiny waking us up at 7:30am, standard operating procedure really. It wouldn’t have been so bad if we’d actually had decent sleep the night before, but Tiny was incredibly hungry all night, and at 3 something in the morning the stupid dog decided he wanted to go out (and once he was done outside he wanted to come back in obviously).
