Day 211 - Happy Birthday Henry!

Today Henry is two years old! Although he found yesterday overwhelming, he has shown a lot of interest in 'birthdays' and of course 'cake' over this weekend! This is Henry sitting with Hoot, after his bath tonight after all of the visitors had gone and everything was back to normal. We are looking forward to our sleep going back to normal after a couple of unsettled nights!

Happy Birthday to our beautiful little man! We think you are pretty amazing :)

Day 122 - Peace

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 1; Peace.

For me, peace is a few different things. The sound of the quiet when I am the first up in the morning, the sound of Henry sleeping, sitting in the garden in the middle of the day or the sound of my classroom about 5 minutes after bell time.

After a decidedly unpeaceful morning where Henry woke at about quarter to 5, I was luckily able to resettle him in bed with us and peacefully he slept, until I decided to take his photo at quarter to 7!

Day 81 - Liquid Gold

After a much needed coffee with Peta this afternoon, (a stressful day and 4 hours sleep the night before do not a happy teacher make!) I dropped into Coles before leaving to grab Henry some goat milk to try. As he is often a bit congested and did not sleep well the night before, unless sitting up, I decided to take some advice and try Henry on goat milk in the evening. We are yet to see if this makes any difference, but on one hand, I won't mind if this particular solution isn't the one, at $4.50 per litre!
