1. Passport photo for Son 2 Aged 6m and 2w
2. Lazytown Live with Son 1 Aged 3 and a half
3. Meanwhile at home…
Son 2’s passport photo’s been done in a little shop with a dancing ostrich toy and a white blanket. Two years ago we did Son 1’s against a white wall on 35mm and cut round his head when we got the pics back from Boots. We have about 50 packs of pics of Son 1. And none of Son 2. All still in the camera or computer. Hopefully when he’s older he’ll print them out for us. So we’re especially pleased with our little tiny envelope with 4 pics. We’ll be even more pleased if we manage to get the form signed and sent off in time to go away.
Took Son 1 to see Lazytown Live and we both loved it. I allowed myself a little maternal pride at having The Only Robbie Rotten in the Audience, with Son 1 waving his periscope at any little Sportacuses and Stephanies crossing his path. He is the slowest eater I have ever encountered, and made his Smartie lolly last from the interval to the end. Which meant that while the other children three rows from the stage were all up on their feet dancing along to the last all-cast healthy song, our bottoms were firmly on our seats, me holding out a handful of melting mini-smarties while Son 1, his eyes fixed ahead, selected one at a time and chewed very slowly indeed.
We left Son 2 on his own with Wonder Nanny for the first time, and he was fine. Of the three hours we were away, he slept 1 hour 50 minutes, went for a walk with her in the pram and ate a rice cake. Wonder Nanny spent the time clearing up the Christmas Cactus Son 1 tipped off the windowsill seconds before we needed to leave for the show, tidying up the toys downstairs and exploring the upstairs toy cupboards. She was very excited by Son 1’s Thomas wooden train set. Now I know why people get jealous of the nanny. Son 2 has never slept for 1 hour 50 minutes in the day for me in his whole life. And I wouldn’t mind some time on my own with that train set either.
