William's World

I have a few long days coming up. Matt is at some conference or other and he is going to be out until late in the evening. This morning he was meant to leave the house at 8am but the silly man didn’t set an alarm and trusted William to wake him up. Yah. That worked. William decided today was the day to sleep until 8:15am. Although Matt was up and out by 8:30 so very impressive. He should be back by about 8pm, maybe a little earlier if he’s lucky.

William and I spent most of the day with Louise and Owen. Louise is the best friend I’ve made in Derby and we always have a good time when we meet up. We don’t really do much, lately I go up to her house for lunch, the children play on the floor and we have a good old gossip. Everyone wins. Today we did take Owen down to baby clinic to have him weighed and looked at by the health visitor because the poor little man has been really quite poorly lately. I also stopped off and picked up an anniversary card for Matt since..ummm..yeah..we have been married 2 years today lol. We forgot! I doubt I’ll get a card since Matt won’t have had time to get one but it’s hardly a big deal. Matts parents gave us £50 so we got a Wii game for ourselves and then I might have spent the rest on William I couldn’t help it. I wanted to get him a set of stacky cups which he loves and some nice soft blocks for an extra christmas present from us.

On the topic of presents William now has some under the tree that aren’t from mummy and daddy. Louise gave him one this morning and when I got him I got a surprise package from a lovely girl I used to work with who had posted a present for William and a card for me. I was so pleased as I didn’t expect her to send anything more than a christmas card. I wasn’t very excited about christmas but now some presents are arriving it feels more fun. We also got our first three christmas cards today as well, I thought we weren’t going to get any the rate we were going lol.

William is now rolling master extraordinaire, unless of course, he doesn’t want to. In which case he doesn’t. However he does roll well enough to jam himself under the sofa lol. And this evening while I was running the bath for him I put him in the middle of the bed and put In the Night Garden (GAH!) on the laptop for him to watch. When I looked back he’d rolled over and spun himself 90 degrees and was merrily “typing” away on the laptop. I wish I had the camera to catch that moment, it was so cute!

William is also eating like a trooper. Today he devoured 22oz milk (probably have 30 by the days end) half a rush mushed with milk, a slice of toast, a jar of lamb stew, two pots of apple and strawberry, nearly a whole jar of casserole and a fromage frais. He seems to be over his sicky stage although he did hold a mouthful of apple in his mouth and then kindly deposited it on my shoulder! Nice!
