Illness has become a common theme. Jake has been ill, Mia too. Now last week both Amy and myself succumbed to an awful stomach bug. So that was the whole Wollny family taken out with it. I had a call from the school on Wednesday. Amy was in London with Sheena and couldn’t be contacted. …

Mia eats paper and the consequences
Mia can now sit up from a crawling position. I seem to remember that with Jake this took a lot longer. It somes like yesterday that Mia started to crawl. Well done Mia! While I was working from home Amy brought Mia up looking very worried. She asked me to look into her mouth. What …
New tooth
At exactly nine months old baby Mia has cut her first tooth. A fine looking tooth it is too! At first when Amy told me I couldn’t see it but after careful inspection I saw an almost transparent line almost at gum level. This explains her watery, acid smelling, toxic poos that she has been …

Jake got the ‘star of the week’ sticker today for making a lovely picture of a robot :-). This evening I read his latest story ‘In The Garden’ with the new words ‘no’ and ‘not’. Mia ha started crawling. I looked on amazed as she slowly made her way across the landing. Time to put …
