Recently, #1 has taken to placing some of our garden stones on to the window ledge. He always asks to place three stones on the ledge and then does so.
Not Symmetrical
This is probably my best train set up so far. All pieces used and no funny angles, you can bend the joints a bit to “make” a track fit, but none here!
Now I just need to keep this map handy so I can recreate this when needed.
Peanut Butter
The picture should be quite evident. It started as a quarter of a slice of bread with peanut butter on it. Then #2 got hold of it!

Here’s what #1 took to nursery today.
Toys of the Son Part 20
Here’s today’s toy that #1 took to nursery.
For Daddy
Here’s a flower that my son picked for me. It was beautiful.
Cakes
Here’re the cakes onto which went the Jazzles!
Snail in the Creature Peeper
Here’s a snail that #1 was looking at in his “creature peeper”.
Jazzles
Well, this was a surprise! WW went down the shop to get some toppings for rice crispy cakes. This is what she brought back!
I am just hoping these aren’t the jewels used for vajazzling. It all seems rather wrong to me! Now if I say they are Australian I’m sure that’ll make perfect sense.
Perfect Sunday Morning
It doesn’t get better than this! Apart from an airshow or motor race I guess. This morning I’ve been playing playdoh with #1. It’s great. Later we’ll be making rice crispy cakes with chocolate. Such a shame the weekend has to end.
Cress
Along with the veg patch we are now growing cress in the kitchen. Really looking forward to harvest time.

This is what #1 took to play with at nursery today.
#1 calls this his Jeff Car. He likes the snake on it and it reminds him of the Jeff Corwin programme that we have seen on TV.
Camper Van
Here’s a picture of a VW Camper Van that #1 and I put together yesterday. He’s very proud of what he made.

Still Life Study
Number 1 took this photo. I guess it shows his main interest: Nutella! Perhaps it signifies the path of growing knowledge?

Today’s toys for nursery. A brace of police cars.
Comparatively Refreshed
Wow! Son #2 just slept well! I feel much better having had about two weeks of him only sleeping for 45 minutes at a time and then waking crying because his teeth hurt. He’s even been awake and crying for a couple of hours in the middle of the night.
Last night he woke at 8:30, 12:30 and 3:30 and then finally at 7! It was, all things considered, relatively normal for a 11 month old.
That means I have had a few chunks of sleep of about three hours each. Brilliant. Having been tired since October 2006 this takes me back to normal levels of sleep deprivation.
Let’s see what tonight brings.
29 April Update
Last night was about the same. #2 only woke 3 times for milk and so once again we had a normal amount of sleep deprivation. I’m feeling almost human.
30 April Update
Back to very disturbed from just disturbed. Every 45 minutes until about 01:00 and then he slept until 6. Back to feeling hungover but without the benefits of having had a great night out.
What the son sees
This is what happens when you give a camera to a three year old. Eldest son took these while we were visiting family. I’m not going to give a commentary this is just what he finds interesting.
