Nappy change, waiting in the rain and I heart you.

Alec is seven weeks old today.

1. Granny has a go at changing Alec's nappy for the first time. She says he has wonderful legs.

2. A fat schoolboy stands out of the rain. When we get round the corner, my mother says: "Poor little boy with glasses -- doesn't his mummy want him?" I tell her that he was probably quite happy because he had his nose in a fantasy  novel.

3. I use a paper template to mark a chocolate tart with an icing sugar heart. Quick and dirty, but passably romantic.

I love 2. It's well known that fat boys find solace (from being fat boys) in comforting fantasy novels. It makes them feel like they're eating 'visual cake'.

Alec is a beautiful boy. The photo makes me feel a little more at peace.

he is so beautiful- I love all your three things today.
Was feeling down as we are going to a meeting today because the local council are trying to close our local library which will make a big difference to our small community. But Alec has cheered me up and reminded me why we have to keep fighting, for all the Alecs who live here.
I love your Blog! It reminds me that it is the little things (and particularly those who are growing bigger!) that matter most.

I read your blog every night and now I have a photo of Alec to keep in my mind as I follow all the beautiful moments he gives you and your family. You must be feeling better...out walking again.
