September Photo Update

We both had the first week of September off, and spent it trucking back and forwards from Cardiff. We had a gorgeous park-picnic with friends, enjoying the last of the Summer sun and chasing ducks and dogs around, then went to the Doctor Who exhibition. J-cub was less than impressed by the Daleks, and was not even excited to see K-9. I had a great time though, and had to stop Jamie smuggling Amy Pond's outfit out under his jumper.


We went to IKEA twice, to get some toy storage for the living room sorted, and a new chest of drawers for our bedroom, and just because it's a great day out (really, it is, J-cub loves all the play areas and I could spend a fortune in there).


He especially loved the cot layouts, I think he would have fallen asleep there if I'd let him...


We spent a day scrubbing the garden furniture and toys, J-cub helping by cleaning his car (and emptying my buckets of soapy water as fast as I could fill them)...


We spent rainy days inside huddling under umbrellas, which also make excellent boats...


We learnt that J-cub's all-in-one waterproof is just that - he stuck both his arms up to the shoulders into a bucket of water and was as dry as a bone underneath...


Saturday morning laundry provides me with 50 minutes of peace as J-cub sits on an upturned nappy box and quietly monitors the washing machine...


I learnt that I can sit atop a toddler swing relatively easily...


We took a poorly boy to soft play to cheer him up, and he conquered his fear of ball pools...


And we replaced the faithful Jumperoo with a rocking dinosaur called Dorothy, who J-cub fell desperately in love with...

Aw, love it! Does J-Cub REALLY watch the washing machine for 50 mins??? He's a funny boy, eh?! Lovely pics. Wish we an Ikea in the near vicinity. Bah.

Well he used to - he's kind of got used to it now and just goes about his important work of checking all the cupboard locks are functional; shifting magnets from the fridge to the dishwasher; 'encouraging' the cats to eat their food; and sweeping the floor, with periodic checks that the washing machine is still doing its business. He does love a good spin cycle though ;)
