Now we are 1
Friday, 29 July 2011So that was year 1. Here’s the final photos in the series…
New things this month include walking with her brick truck or our hands, cutting a seventh tooth, helping feed herself with the spoon. Sometimes. When she feels like it. Also, she’s had cake. And her first party. Here’s the aftermath (photo c/o Michelle Monahan).
It’s been an interesting year. I’m still on a writing sabbatical as it’s just beyond me to combine a full time job, motherhood and writing. My spare time is taken up with sorting out things like GJ’s room so there’s nothing left. I know some people would say “if you want to write you make the time”. I could make the time. I can’t make the desire though. My brain is too full of other things. And I rather like sitting reading That’s Not My Penguin* for the hundredth time, instead of sitting at a PC.
Here’s a slideshow of just the tartan rug photos.
There are also slideshows of the whole monthly series, or of other photos.
Now, I really ought to clear the backlog of book reviews, and do a second coat of satin on the door to GJ’s room, and check the bus route to a friend’s house as it’s too muggy to walk there and back, and make those salmon fishcakes, and make sure I’ve a week’s work outfits hanging up ready for Monday, and pay the sparks, and… it’s amazing how much you can cram into someone’s nap time, isn’t it?
*I’m working on a version called That’s Not My Feminist to counter the range’s actual girly books of That’s Not My Princess, That’s Not My Dolly, etc.
