Professor Leo

(PS to his parents' great relief, Leo today had his first lunchtime nap since Wednesday)

King of the milk drinkers

Dancing to King Louie on the Jungle Book - I wanna be like you-oo-oo. 

Frothy non-coffee

Nap dropper

For the first time Leo completely refused to take a nap today. By the end of the day he'd gone a bit cross-eyed and doolally.

Winter evenings

Leo wanted to put his hat and gloves on before we left nursery

Sporting a centre parting at the bus stop

Late squish

Mummy forgot to post the blog last night so here it is late - Leo was refusing to have his photo taken and lying on his side so Mummy joined in!

Hairbrush

Daddy brushed his hair

Boys

Poor Mummy worked all weekend so there was a lot of boy time to be had, including a swim this morning. There were fun and japes too

Longboy

Leo is a long boy

Taking a timeout (with Daddy in the reflection)

Daddy tried a new tack to rouse Leo from his siesta - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06GNq92lWAg. 

Busy bee

It was a busy day for Leo. First - some puzzles.

Then some belly laughing at "the funny bit" in Scooby Doo (which Leo inisisted on watching 5 times).

Some calls to make..

Then the shopping to bring in..

..and unpack.

Rainy days and Thursdays

Leo's ideal snack time - warm milk, a croissant (already mostly gone!) and 4 puzzles.

This afternoon the rain set in and Leo contemplated muddy puddles.

Guffaws

Leo is getting into the slapstick side of Scooby Doo

Scooby Leo

Leo watched "Scooby Dog" for the first time this morning as Daddy got him ready for nursery. For some reason, he was captivated. 

Smiles

Some quick bathtime shots

Buggy cuddles

Leo was so excited that Granny and Grandpa were visiting after his nap, that the only way to get him down was in his buggy. With Tigger. 

The three amigos

Daddytime

Mummy had an A&E shift so it was a Daddy day. Crafts kept us busy in the morning..

..including making a Valentine's card for Mummy

In the afternoon, Leo wandered into a florist. The nice florist succumbed to Leo's charms and offered him a slightly deflated heart balloon that she could no longer sell

Daddy cooked up a boys' beef bolognaise for our dinners and was happy that it was a bowl-emptying hit. 

Biker boy

Leo fancies a bike. First time he got on one and he rode it all around the bike shop. 

Out in the rain with muddy puddles, his umbrella and Daddy

Cooking pox

The challenge of amusing Leo continued! Today he made his own lunch - a ham and cheese roll.. 

Then he made fairy cakes! He was very excited to offer one to Daddy when he got home!

Leo ate 4...

A surprise package appeared from the Booyse clan this afternoon! Leo loved the Peppa Pig Medical Kit!

The magazine cheered him up!

He have Tigger some medicine to make him better too!

And he spent ages looking at the lovely cards and drawings from his cousins! 

Running pox

Today Leo seems to be feeling a bit better - this morning I actually managed to convince him to get his shoes and coat on, and come out in the running buggy. The park was deserted so no risk of spreading the pox!

Leo was less keen half way round the park.. He kept asking if we were almost home!

This afternoon we dashed in to the news agent and Leo got the latest Thomas magazine. That cheered him up!
