Day 134 - Mum

Well since I didn't get to see my Mum for Mothers Day, today, I thought that my photo should be of the little man that made me Mum and made my Mum, Nanna. Hope that made sense.

On my second Mothers Day ever, Henry presented me with a card (complete with a badge that said "Awesome Mum" lol) and perfume. He also handed over the little painting he did for me at daycare. Henry loves handing presents out!

Commonly you hear that Mothers Day should be Mum's Day Off. Today I wouldn't have wanted a "Day Off" from being Henry's Mum. Among other things, Henry learned to say "Thank you Mummy" this morning and has been using it when I push his chair in or pass him things. How cute is that?

Happy Mothers Day!

To inject a little inspiration into my blog this month, I have decided to play along with the challenge presented on Fat Mum Slim's blog (www.fatmumslim.com.au) and for today the theme was Day 13: Mum

Day 82 - One for the Collection

Already Henry is enjoying his latest Nanna created hat. Arriving in the mail yesterday, addressed to Henry, it has already become one of his essential wardrobe items. Henry was wearing his hat as I snapped him indoors, reading at his little red table.

Day 35 - Car Shopping

So with the boat sold in the morning, the afternoon was left open for a bit of car shopping for Dale. With a bit of an idea of the car he wanted, we went and looked at two; one in Thornleigh and the other in Leichhardt. I enjoyed the drive from Thornleigh to Leichhardt, as we came into the city the opposite way that I am used to. Driving over the Harbour, we saw the Diamond Princess docked and waiting. I don't think I have ever actually seen such a huge ocean liner like that - absolutely huge, but I wasn't ready with my camera! I did take a bunch of interesting shots, however crossing the Anzac Bridge and this is one of them. Although we did not drive away with a new car, Dale did get a better idea of which car he wants and Henry had a great afternoon playing with Nanna and Opa at home!

Day 24 - Reading With Nanna

Henry is known for his love of books and there are always at least ten of his scattered about the lounge room! We have been reading with Henry since he was too small to realise and persisted when all he was interested in, was closing the book in the middle of reading. Mum arrived for a couple of days' visit today and Henry enjoyed sharing his favourite book, which we call The Puppy Book (because it is about a puppy who visits all the different animals on the farm). Henry has really been into this book ever since he got a bit more talkative and he loves making all the animal noises to accompany!

Day 15 - Ocean View and a Sleep In

After a fabulous night at Matt and Renee's wedding, we woke up in our room with ocean views, at Narrabeen. It was so strange to be allowed my very first sleep in in a year and a half! As I found out later on, Mum accidentally woke Henry at 5am as she felt she had to check on him, not having heard any stirrings from him overnight. Silly Nanna!

We had a very relaxed morning and had a yummy breakfast at a local cafe, also opposite the beach. Anyway, after a taste of the 'living by the beach' lifestyle, we headed back to Quakers Hill to get back to a very missed baby who had just had his first ever night away from us!
