Jacks words are slowly coming in. I find more and more new words, but i have to pay attention otherwise I dont understand them lol. He babbles a lot but has starting using his words.

We are going camping for Easter. I cant wait as we all need a break. Thats of course if it is a break taking a toddler away. Last year he was only sitting so would stay on a big carpet square we bought with us. This time its going to be interesting as he is very mobile. Last time he was in his portacot and this time will be sleeping on a bottom bunk in our caravan. I will be taking the cot just in case he gets too mobile in the van and wont sleep. The portacot takes up the whole floor space in the van so we are really hoping he stays in the bed. DH is rigging up a barrier for the bunk so he doesn't roll out. He has not fallen out of bed I find he is more often than not, wedged up against the wall.

We are looking into buying a newer van as our old girl is a 1978 model and well loved. We are thinking of a second hand Jayco Flamingo. I have to think of having a big boy one day so he will need room. No point in getting one with the fold down lounge as I want this van to last a long time. I never camped as a child of a single mum, but DH spent a lot of time camping when he was a child and has very fond memories and I want DS to have lots of fun times.

We are off to Bali in May and we are soooo excited. 12 nights Our last trip overseas was our honeymoon in Fiji 4 years ago so this will be a completely new experience with a toddler. They have great baby club facilities if I feel comfortable using them. I think I will see how we go. It would be nice to have a few moments to ourselves and he will miss being in daycare but not too sure on how I will feel using carers that I dont know. Silly really as he has been in care since 18 weeks with people I didn't know at the time
