My favourite day of the week today. Mummy and Ethan day.

As usual he was up at silly O'Clock - 5.30am today. Still at least it was a nice morning and I had the washing hung out on the line by 7am!

We drove down to his swimming class early so he'd fall asleep in the car and had a 1/2 hour nap before his class started. He was great in the class and was figuring out how to do things he couldn't do a few weeks ago.

After that, we walked over to The Centre and met my friend Mary for lunch in Debenhams. I ordered a baked potato so I could share it with Ethan but he only wanted a few spoonfulls and refused his fruit too. The 3 of us then walked the whole length of the centre and McArthur Glen to try to get Ethan to have another nap, but he wasn't having any of it. He also just wanted to be on his feet walking as much as possible.

I drove a long route home to get him to have another nap in the car and then left him asleep in there while he napped for 40 minutes. I don't really like doing that when I'm at home but I was checking up on him every few minutes and he dozed quite happily.

I then took him down to the playpark on his tricycle and he had a fab time on the swings. When we got back, he spent ages walking round my (very dirty) car, pointing out all the letters and numbers on my registration plate!

He ate a good dinner and has been a really happy, cheerful wee boy this evening. However, it's now past his bedtime and he's wide awake and chatty. Hopefully he'll nod off soon!
