Family portrait (sans Maxi)

"Look at the camera, Popi!"

Morph

It was lots of fun watching Leo laugh over and over watching Morph, new episodes of clay animation Mummy and Daddy watched as children. 

Local Friday

Leo's usual Friday craft class was cancelled today, and Leo has a stinky cold so we stayed local.

Leo said he had to hold his hair like this to stop the wind from ruining it.

Leo found some Lego bargains in the charity shop (£1!). He already had one of the sets so he wanted to post it to his cousin Sasha.

It was such an exciting morning that he fell asleep in the buggy.

We made up for the lack of craft class with painting at home this afternoon.

Then we got all of the trains out!

Followed by Lego. Check the concentration!

Trainer

Leo had to get the train home today as the roadworks made it impossible to get the car to nursery. He thought it was quite a treat (especially with some Haribo..).

Literary travels

Yesterday, Daddy brought home a gift from Brussels of three new books in French. I think the gift was extra appreciated because the shop wrapped each one on gift paper. Tonight we read Un mammouth dans le frigo. 

Morph

Leo was missing Daddy (who was in Brussels) this morning and wanted to say hello.

Here is is watching Morph after nursery.

Happy chapter

Can you tell this little dude had fun on his afternoon play date with Maya and Alva?

Hand in my pocket

I thought he just looked cutely grown-up. Luckily, it was one of those times he thought it was fun to be photographed.

Zoe is impressed with Leo's flexibility

There were two on the chair and the little one said

Singing Happy Birthday to Mummy and Granny

Teddy Boy

We just noticed that yesterday's blog didn't load, so here's a bonus one for today instead.

Leo doesn't get his hair washed that often but we gave it a proper wash this evening, with the shampoo he got from Sasha for Christmas. Daddy enjoyed playing with his hair afterwards.

Fridays with Daddy

Leo and Daddy had their first Friday together in a long while. They were both very happy!

Bathtime art

Still exploring Christmas presents which Granny and Grandpa had held for us until last weekend. 

Leo Patrol

Leo would not take his eyes off Paw Patrol to have his picture taken.

Blue Monday

Leo actually had a lot of fun on Blue Monday, despite the expressions on his face. He loved the new Barnados Childrens Centre in Crystal Palace.

He was actually quite excited by his DVD choice at the library.

Birthday helper

Mummy had all the help she needed to open her presents this morning

And we followed presents with a family day up in London Town. Here's Leo doing some engineering work on a train in the Transport Museum. 

This is ground control to Major Leo

Granny kisses

Leo doesn't like the froth in a babyccino and stirs thoroughly before drinking to try and remove it.

 Then he made a funny, evil face

We all enjoyed a visit from Granny and Grandpa. 

A kiss for Leo

A kiss for Granny

And a big cuddle!

Little Monkey

It was back to our usual London Fridays and Leo was delighted to be back at Happy Crafters.

He didn't enjoy the M&S queue so much..

The afternoon was spent playing Tumbling Monkeys- Leo was very certain he won every game!

Bathtime Popi strokes

Popi always likes to come and get stroked at bathtime, but not usually by Leo..

Late riser

Thanks to the fading jetlag, Leo has been sleeping in

Cost clothes for winter 

Cutest monkey in the room

Leo was surprisingly delighted to be back at nursery today. Apparently he spent the whole day telling everyone about seeing his cousins and his new Lego.

Colourful outfit

Clothes chosen by jetlagged parents. There are at least 11 colours struggling to coordinate in this ensemble. 

Leo didn't seem to mind though

Cheeky boy!

Back to London

Sleeping with his head on one lap and feet on the other
