Happy Hallowe'en

Leo meet Leo

Pumpkin

Leo got home from nursery to find a pumpkin for him today!

"It's a pumpkin Mummy! Let's make a face!" he said!

He was very pleased with it!

He scooped out the flesh and seeds.

Mummy cut out the face; Leo wanted to decorate it with his crayons.

It was so exciting to light the candle and look at his latern in the dark!

Going for the chop

Leo was in a fiesty mood this morning and marched off to the library himself.

He was soon up for a snuggle on the bus!

This afternoon Leo had his very first haircut! Here he is getting settled in to the salon.

He got to sit in a Thomas chair with an iPad playing Thomas!

The curls remain! It was just a trim!

Mummy had to drag Leo out of the shop!

Leo got a framed certificate with before and after pictures and a lock of hair!

I want Daddy!!

Leo is definitely a Daddy's boy at the moment! Long gone are the days when only Mummy would do.

As a special treat Leo got to go and visit Daddy at work.

Here he is on the train!

What a big boy..

Daddy wanted to show Leo the views from his office; Leo wanted to run up and down the corridor shouting "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

After visiting Daddy, Leo and Mummy had a lovely lunch date at Leon.

And then Leo took a nap while Mummy sat in the sun.

Leo didn't think much of the Tate modern..

And he was very bored when Mummy tried to tell him about her first date with Daddy at Bedales.

He was much happier when Daddy got home so he could help with the washing up!

Cousin chaos

Walkies!

We went up to Amersham today and there was some cousin chaos

But sweetness too

Happy times for Leo

Leo et Popi

For the last week, Leo has chosen for his bedtime stories almost all French books. Daddy (and sometimes Mummy) reads each page in French and then English. Leo's favourite is Leo et Popi, Popi being the little toy monkey whose name inspired the name of our cat Popi. 

Heaven is..

Heaven for Leo is..

Train stickers..

And Cars 2 Top Trump cards..

Later today..still enjoying the stickers!

Here's Leo 'hiding'!

And delighting in revealing himself!

Trip to the dentists

This morning, Leo joined Mummy and Daddy at the dentists. He was very interested, watching intently 

Once Daddy was finished, Leo made sure he got a go in the big chair too

And donned the safety glasses

He was very good at letting the dentist look at his teeth, although his response to the mouth mirror was mostly to suck it. 

The dentist told us that he has four more milk teeth to come and that everything was as it should be 

New boots
