Is that all??

You have had a great day today, my darling!! Very quiet morning and afternoon together - just the 2 of us - and you had a lovely long nap this afternoon. That is the first time in ages you have slept for more than an hour in the afternoon, and it was lovely because you wakened up refreshed and raring to go!

You had great fun emptying all the toys out of the toy bucket, and then putting your head right into the bucket to shout! I am not sure whether you just like the noise and vibration, or whether you are letting me know that you aren't impressed that there aren't more toys in the bucket! Fortunately you have just as much fun putting all the toys back into the bucket and then starting all over again. Your new game is building your blocks - you are starting to understand how to balance them, but we seldom get a tower of more than 5 built because you get too excited about it and knock them all over again!

This evening J next door had invited us in for dinner since Daddy is away. She had made the most delicious lasagne, salad and bread - and you had great fun playing with R&N. Little N can't say your name properly and calls you 'Amby' which sounds so sweet. She also thinks it is very exciting that when she holds her hand out to you and says 'Ta..' you will give her whatever you are holding. At 2 she feels quite the big girl beside Baby Amby!!

You are fast asleep now, after a bath and your bottle, and I will be following you very soon! Tomorrow night will be great - Daddy will be home and we will all be together again! Can't wait!

How sweet! I remember when my Olivia hated to take naps and would never sleep long enough, always woke up cranky. But Michael, oh boy, did he love to nap and always woke up happy! Gotta love naps, huh???

Block towers are great fun. Five sounds like a lot for a wee one. Maybe you have a future architect living with you.

The soft skittles came looks like fun.

Those names stick! I still refer to Allie as Alya Nack. She is not amused, but it brings back memories of how she pronounced her name as a little girl.

It is so cute when little ones play together. Mary just loves going to her Sunday school class to play with the kids. Thank you for your sweet words about my mom's tribute and sharing about what happened with your mother-in-law. My husband and I also experienced loss as I misscarred our first baby before Mary.
