Last week ended with Harrison being sick. This one started with Alex being sick. My poor washing machine has struggled to cope with the extra washing – and not having a tumble drier makes things twice as hard!

This morning, Graham popped round to Tescos to get some milk, and came back with this chocolate rose. We don’t celebrate Valentines Day usually so it was quite a nice little surprise!

February 9th

This was a spur of the moment snap, with just 1% of my phone battery left – but turned out to be a photo I just want to look at forever. It was the first time Benjamin had joined his brothers in the bath – I just can’t believe how much they look alike!

Alex absolutely point blank refuses to wear his own hat – but will quite happily wear daddy’s!

I was always worried about how Alex would react to Ben – he’s at a funny age and is still a little ‘clingy’ at times, but when I see him go to give him a kiss before he goes out, I know I worried for nothing – he adores him!

I’m the only one in our house that takes photos, so the only pictures I get of me are selfies. My hair was scraped into a messy ponytail and my make up from the morning was smudged, but I love this photo of me with my biggest and littlest boys!

Normally Alex doesn’t seem to care that Harrison isn’t there when he is at nursery, but today he started crying, saying ‘I miss ‘arry, he come back’. Midway through his tantrum, he fell asleep smack bang in the middle of the room. He slept like this until Harrison came home – and then it was like he hadn’t seem him for months. He was all over him, cuddling and kissing him. Ten minutes later they were bickering…

We don’t have a double pushchair, so sometimes most of the time, Graham ends up carrying Alex on his shoulders, which isn’t exactly comfortable, and it scares me. One of my friends gave us this fab back carrier for him, and it is brilliant. It’s much more comfy for both of them – quite often Alex drops off in it!
