The weather of late has been pretty dire, especially the last Bank Holiday Weekend, but I suppose that is par for the course. This morning is lovely however. There are a few clouds and a nice breeze is rolling in from the south. I have just come back from the train station. I left a little later this morning, made a decision to ride to Clapham Junction and then thought better of it. I bowled back up through Wickham Road and on to Brockley station. I just missed my train and then found that the next Caterham train was in 15 minutes. After waiting at the station and picking up some freebie coffee from a man juggling white balls I noticed the train indicator. Cancelled in big capitals. The next one was 20 minutes later so I picked up some more coffee and went home. I have just emailed work to say I will work from home today and I hope it will be okay as my boss likes a day’s notice.
We have changed Jakes evening routine. I read an article in the Metro yesterday that was talking about how often a baby should be bathed and that clean babies i.e. ones that have a bath every day are more susceptible to skin complaints. Jake skin is very dry so maybe this is the cause. We are trialling three baths a week to see if there is an improvement.
Jake’s bedtime milk used to be a calm affair but now Jake just want to wrestle on the bed or read his books. The way we’ve got round this is to give him his milk and book at the same time. Voila! He drinks all the milk while flicking through the books.
Jake is wearing his new surfer shorts and Tee today. Let’s list his latest developments.
- Very adept at cruising
- Will toddle short distances
- Copies Mam-ee and Dadd-ee and Bay-bee
- Makes lots of different noises with his tongue
- Knows where his eyes, nose, tummy, head, and hair is
- Breakdances
