Funfair

The baby proofing of the house continues.................today's modification was for me to install and new bath waste pipe with a pop up (chainless) plug system. This was quite a challenge for me since plumbing is not usually something I touch. The reason for installing this was that Joshua has become prone to pulling the plug out during bath time. We started making a game of it and saying 3 strikes and its bath time over. However this rule had to be wavered since the 3 times often expired very quickly no matter how much you try and hide the plug chain. Anyway in theory the new system will prevent Joshua from pulling the plug all together - lets just hope he doesn't figure out how to twist the Chrome overflow button which now activates the pop up plug. Anyway tomorrow is D day where we find out if my plumbing was any good or whether we have leaks!

Today we took Joshua to Pixi Photo's to get his last free bounty shots done. He started getting a bit tired towards the end of the photo shoot so we are going back tomorrow morning to collect them. If we get any nice shots then I'll scan them in and post them on the blog for all to see. Speaking of being tired and sleep - get a load of this................what time do you think Joshua got up this morning????? ........................8:45, woohoo, how nice was that to lay in bed until nearly 9am on a Saturday. I think he is just luring us into a false sense of security before J2 comes along in 4 weeks time and sleep becomes a thing of the past!

Anyway for today's pictures I have dug out a few snaps from over the Xmas break. We took Joshua to Southend one afternoon just to get out of the house and let him play on some of the toddler rides. He absolutely loved the little wheel and the merry-go-round.
