And what beautiful weather it was!
One thing we love doing as a family is going for walks. So nearly every afternoon this week, when Dad gets home from work we pop little one in the pram and puppy on the leash and off we go. We find that this is the perfect time for us as a couple to communicate like we used to before our little man came along. We use this time to catch up on our days with non stop chatting between steering the pram and tripping over the leash. I love hearing about his work days and the things he did, whereas my day consists of showing baby selfies and counting the number of dirty nappies little man had. Maternity leave at its finest.
The week also included a shopping trip that didn't go to my perfect plan of baby sleeping in pram whilst Mum window shopped - I soon realised that expecting an 8 month old to enjoy this activity was completely selfish and unreasonable. Of course men hate this stuff...what on earth was I thinking?!
We visited a park and although he is still too little for the slippery dip or even the big swing by himself, he sat with his Mama on her lap and cuddled. His face lights up watching other children play waiting for the day he can run around like them. I'm happy for you to stay this small though little man.
When in doubt...go for a walk! Nothing beats fresh air and sunshine on any day.
Here's to the week that was.
