My messy monster!

After breakfast each day, Ethan always has a bit of playtime in the living room, before I get him dressed. I'm not sure if you can see in this picture how much porridge he has smeared around his mouth - not that he gets too concerned by that!

I bought him his first dressing gown recently and now the weather is getting colder, I put it on him each morning when I take him out of his dreampod. He's not 100% convinced by the hood but I think he looks really cute with it up!

Grandpa came over to visit today. (No Granny as she's currently on a 2 week Baltic Cruise, getting some well deserved "me time")! He seemed just as keen to play with the train set as hubbie was! However, even though it was pouring with rain and so was tempting to stay inside all day, we ventured out to Almond Valley Heritage Centre. I've never seen it so quiet before - we were practically the only people there! Even though it was far too wet to use the trampolines, we still managed to while away two hours or so there and before we knew it, it was time to come home for dinner.
