Milestones

J and L clocked up milestones this week. (I think J’s happened a few weeks ago but yesterday was the first time I noticed.)

Yesterday I took all the children to the park and J was eager for me to play football with him – L’s buggy as one post and a shrubbery as the other. This was occasionally tricky as K and L needed attention too on the swings and things. During half time when I was play equipment assistant I noticed J could swing by himself completely! Probably not a major thing and maybe even late compared to his peers, but another sign to me that he’s growing up and another way he’s able to enjoy himself without needing my help.

L may be messing with our heads, but one night this week she slept through completely, in her own bed :shock:. It was a bit of a shock to not feel v. tired the next day (just tired). She hasn’t done so since, but tonight was encouraging too. She went up to her bed after the boys were asleep but before she seemed sleepy. This normally lasts about 5 minutes and then there are footsteps coming downstairs :roll:. Tonight she didn’t come down at all. Hurrah!
