Today, a mere17 months after first consulting a doctor regarding Oliver’s hearing, he underwent surgery to insert grommets in both ears.

Breakfast at McDonald’s: 5 quid.
Cycling to Subway for lunch, towing Oliver on the tag-a-long bike: 6 quid plus some sweating.
Spending the day with my son then having him tell me, unprompted, what a great day he had with me: priceless!

Today Lucy is 2 years old. To celebrate we arranged a fab picnic party in the park. Of course, thanks to our wet summer we ended up having the picnic on blankets in our living room, but hey, that was great fun too!
But before all that we started the day by coming downstairs to find [...]

Echoes
May 30th, 2009 · No Comments · lucy, oliver, photo
I know my children are individuals. I know I should not compare them to others, including myself. But there are times when I look at my children and I can’t help seeing echoes of myself and my sister.
