With a heavy heart I went back to work today. I say ‘back to work’ but no travelling was actually involved. Instead I trudged grudgingly to the loft where my home office is. I had a great Christmas and so did Jake and Mia. On Christmas day the lounge floor was awash with scattered present. …

Toothy grin
It’s official, the tooth has gone. Jake and I were sitting in the lounge on Saturday night. Jake was eating his favourite fruit, namely a bapple(a Miaism there). Suddenly he exclaimed “Daddy! My tooth has gone!”. And yes, it had gone, where we do not know. We checked the lounge and could find no sign …
Wobbly tooth
One of Jake’s bottom teeth is on the verge of coming out. Jake plays a game where he sucks the tooth back and pings it forward. It can move about 45 degrees so I imagine it will only be a few more days before the peg pops out. Jake said yesterday that a boy lost …
The Wollny Family
An update is overdue I think. Today is the last day for Jake before half-term and it cannot come too soon. He has succumbed to the end of term mania and exhaustion. This hasn’t been helped by a hacking cough and viral infection last week. This moved from his chest to his tongue. Poor Jake …
Hot October
It’s the first of October and its roasting hot! Is has been 26 degrees C. We spent the day at Wakehurst with Ben, Adam and Jo. Mia has been saying more words. Glasses, tissue, please and conker. A new one is shoulder while pointing at my head. Talking of conkers, Jake has been sorting his …
Mad few weeks
The Wollny household has been in turmoil. First of all I came down with a mystery(to this day) illness which caused intense abdominal pain. Thiswent on for a couple of days and horrible sleepless nights until I took myself off to A&E to be checked out. They did lots of tests, namely urine, blood and …
Fourth Tooth
As predicted, this morning Amy spied Mia’s fourth tooth, which is residing fairly far back in the gum in her bottom jaw. So she has two in the top and two in the bottom. The two bottom teeth are extremely higgledy-piggledy but I’m sure as they grow they will straighten out nicely. Mia again was …
Brrrrr
The weather forecast was dry today so I decided to cycle to Bedfont. Now that the osteopath has given me the all clear I can do it with impunity! I woke at around 5.30am, did my ablutions and then made a nice cup of coffee and ate a bowl of porridge with honey. At 6.15am …
Laying the floor in the nursery
On Sunday Amy persuaded me to get cracking with laying the wooden floor in the box room. We have only two more weekends to get everything done before baby Mia arrives. I have never laid this type of flooring before but after some research on the Internet I made a start. I started by laying …
Sayings
Jake “Radish” – Jake’s name for his dummy Upon arriving home from a rainy cycle commute “Are you worn out Daddy?” When Jake saw my Valentines Day badge “Can I have your Badger?” When a programme has finished on Cbeebies “Can I watch another foalm?” When doing a jigsaw “Yes, I suppose this piece goes …
