Okay, Jake has officially been toilet trained :-). To mark this momentous occasion Ames took him to Lewisham to buy some pants. He came back proudly holding a set of 7 Mr Men pants. He got very excited when he tried on his Mr Messy and Mr Happy pants. He kept looking down and saying …

Adam and Jo
We had Adam and Jo over yesterday. They are staying the night and going to the Boat Show tomorrow. Amy cooked an excellent Roast Beef Joint complete with veg. The potatoes alas were still cooking away by the time we sat down to eat. The meal was delicious regardless of th pots. Jake was a …
Potty training
Jake has been potty training for the last week. Amy has had him running around sans trousers in the lounge with the potty at hand. He has had a couple of accidents but that is to be expected. On the whole though Jake asks for the potty when he needs it. In fact last thing …
Toasted my router last week
Oh dear. I unplugged the router before going to bed in order to save electricity and when I plugged it back in I used the wrong power supply. The resulting smoke and smell of charred circuit board led me to believe that the router was destroyed. I went into PC World to find a replacement …
Christmas
It’s back to work tomorrow and I’m feeling a little depressed about the prospect. Jake has been an absolute angel. Yesterday we woke him at midnight to go to Hilly Fields to look at the fireworks over London. He was a little bleary eyed but quite content. He was very excited to see the fireworks …
Jake counts
Amy has taught Jake to count to ten! Sometimes he gets too excited and just says “one, two… TEN!!”

Jake was clutching his taggie and sucking furiously on his radish, having not had his usual morning nap. He loved the decorations. When he saw the big Christmas …

This weekend was Jake’s first full weekend away. Both Amy and myself were feeling a little sad and were missing our little boy. He had a lovely time at his Granny’s though. He went to see Santa(who he didn’t like), played with a new chum(who he liked very much) and charged around to his hearts …
Happy Daddy
The title refers to Jake’s latest favourite phrase. It’s very cute. Jake has overcome his long-running cold albeit with the aid of some antibiotics. We found out that he was allergic to Amoxycillin after coming out in Hives all over his face and body :-(. The Doctor gave him a substitute(name I cannot remember) that …
