William was in a much better mood today. We were out most the day with Cheryl and Evie shopping and he didn’t complain at all. We went for lunch at a chinese resturant and William was a good boy, sat in the highchair and ate his sandwiches very nicely for a change. He isn’t great at eating finger foods and things that aren’t pureed or mashed but he did really well today. I’ve been making sure that his lunch is always finger foods so he has more practice eating them and he seems to be doing better now, which is making life a lot easier for me. We then hit up all the charity shops (I’m informed in America these go by the name Thrift Shop – a thrift shop over here is slightly different!) and I got some nice things for William.
2 t-shirts and a fleece for 2.25
2 toy cars for £1
A clicky clacky toy for 99p
I was very pleased with how cheap things were in the charity shops, in Worcester they were so expensive I might as well have bought brand new items but in Derby I actually make a good saving. The clothes are really cute too which makes a change. Shops usually have tons of girls items and only one small rack for the boys – so annoying. Don’t they realise us mummys want to dress our boys in cute clothes too.
William is working on his sitting. He still won’t sit unaided for long but if you let him lean back againtst you and put a toy he wants in front of him he will pull himself forwards and sit to grab it, of course he then hurls himself back ASAP to minimise the amount of heart wrenchingly awful time he must spend sitting *rolls eyes* that boy sure knows his own mind.
Tomorrow I need to get up early, clean the house, go to town and get the weeks shopping and then Cheryl and Evie are coming over for lunch. Busy.
