LOVING maternity leave and it's only my first day!!! So far I've done four loads of washing (including the bedding for Ben's new big boy bed that we STILL haven't put him into) and Ben and I have been to the park. This on top of the usual stuff of feeding, changing and feeding AGAIN a toddler - and myself.

It's a brilliantly sunny day here - a lovely start to summer!

We had a good weekend, family visits (us to them) on both days to both sides of the family. Ben is finally starting to enjoy playing with his cousins. I have a feeling that him and his next oldest cousin (a boy 10 months older) are going to get into a lot of mischief when we go camping together at Christmas! They're already showing signs

Jen, glad you had a lovely night out! The one and only date DH and I have had since having Ben was for our anniversary this year. We went kinda early so he wasn't asleep and he was having so much fun with his Nan and Aunty I don't think he even realised we were gone!

I best be off. I want to do a few other things before trying to get a bit of a nap myself. I'm hoping Ben will have his usual 3-4 hour nap Happy first of Summer everybody!!!
