How March was for us

I can’t believe we’re ending March so soon, and I must admit that between work, launching my new business, hubby sitting what is hopefully his penultimate exam and we’ve started to think about moving house there’s not been a lot of time to just stop and be still or reflect.

But I must also admit that I have been missing the blogging community a little recently. I’m so excited for many people who have been announcing their second pregnancies recently online and wanted to share a little bit of what we’ve been doing this month.

Inspector Sprog playing at my Grandparents house.  They love seeing him grow so much and it’s incredibly rewarding to be able to see the love between them all grow.

 

World Book Day/Dress up day/Dress like a princess to go to work day – I blooming loved dressing as Belle for the day and the kids at school were amazed by my commitment to dressing up!

 

A little example of Sprog’s handiwork – they’ve been busy at nursery recently with Easter, Mothers Day and St Patricks day (!!!) all meaning a beautiful piece of nursery art coming home.

 

On Mother’s Day, Sprog and I actually did escape for some time together as hubby was busy studying for an exam.  We went to one of our favourite hangouts, the WWT at Arundel, and Sprog shouted at the ducks the whole way round.

 

I have discovered this month that I can get to the seafront, have a 5 minute walk on the beach, and get back to school in my lunch time. It won’t be an every day occurrence but it’s great for when I just need to get some air and get out of the building at lunch.

 

As a family, we completed the Sport Relief mile. I ran, almost all the way (I’m blaming the freezing cold air).  Sprog walked the first 100 meters before realising that I had run off and demanding to be carried the rest of way…God bless the hubby for all that carrying!

 

And this is the big one, the huge deal, the momentous stage of parenting…toilet training! We’re on Day 5 today…we’re getting there with a mixture of super duper praise and a few stickers. I am just so proud of how Sprog is picking this up and whilst he has not been the total miracle that I wished he would be (I was hoping for the whole thing to be sorted in a day!), he has been pretty darn spectacular!
