On Friday morning last week we had a visit from Iestyn and his mum Naomi. It was lovely to see them, Fidget really likes Iestyn and he doesn't seem too put off by her affection for him! Fidget says "When I see Iestyn I will give him cuddles and kisses" which she invariably does and he doesn't seem to mind too much. They play very nicely together, so Naomi and I could enjoy a cup of tea and a good chat.



Here they are playing doctor and patient, Iestyn declared that his arm hurt, so Fidget put him to bed and proceeded to bandage him up...

On Sunday we had a visit from a friend from work and got to meet his lovely wife and gorgeous new baby Theo, who is 2 months old. We had a nice lunch. Fidget was very sweet with Theo and even got some cuddles with him, unfortunately I didn't take any pictures.

Sunday was a bit of a low point with the potty training with Fidget. Nothing went in the loo or potty all day. At one point during lunch she did a quiet wee behind my chair then ran round the table still weeing. I continued chatting to our guests as I mopped up the river of wee that now surrounded them! Fidget explained that she wanted to wear knickers but did not want to use the toilet or potty thank you very much and would much rather continue having new knickers and trousers each time she wet herself. I explained that wasn't part of the deal. After she did a wee in her chair, while laughing, moments after I'd asked her if she needed a wee - we felt it was time to lay out Fidget's options. We put her back in pull ups and said that if she could tell us when she needed a wee and we could get a proper wee in the loo or potty, she could go back to knickers. So Monday was back to square 1, with her just going in her pull ups all day, but on Tuesday morning she went to her potty off her own back and did a wee! Hurrah - well done Fidget. So on weee go...

Back to Monday, Squidge went in the door bouncer for the first time, she seemed to think it was fairly cool.

Squidge was 16 weeks old on Tuesday...

She is getting stronger on her front now and even seems to enjoy the different perspective. Little video of Squidge having tummy time, where I also demonstrate the first rule of parenting "always know where Bear is"

Fidget at 16 weeks...

them both now...
