Journalling reads: For various reasons I don’t have very many photos of you when you were little. But I think of the few that I do have these ones are easily my favourite. I had bought you this little push along car and we were trying it out for the first time. Being as small as you were, the seat was a bit too big for you. So I decided to use a little bit of mummy innovation and borrowed the padded seat from your highchair. You had a lovely time sitting in it while I pushed you around the house. Spinning the steering wheel and beeping the horn. I remember turning around to do something, only to find when I looked back that you had fallen fast asleep. You looked so cute and peaceful, I didn’t have the heart to move you and risk waking you up. So I sat on the floor next to you to make sure that you didn’t choke or fall out. It may look like a strange place for a baby to sleep, but considering some of the other places you have slept in this seems normal. 2003.

Font is KG This Is Not Goodbye by Kimberly Geswein. Journalling reads: It’s not very often, that anything can make the two of you cooperate and play quietly together. Usually it only takes a few minutes, for you to start arguing over whatever it is that you are playing with, then a few minutes later one or both of you ends up crying. I bought this toy BBQ for Logan’s birthday, but I got it out early because it was raining. It’s really nice to have some proof you actually can act like brothers!

Pool Fun

Journalling reads: On a really hot day, summer day there really is no better way to cool off, than to put on your swimsuit and bandana, and spend the afternoon splashing in your paddling pool, on the decking in Nannie Freda’s back garden. It’s especially fun if you drag out every single bath toy you own to play with and you have a mummy crazy enough to get in with you. When you eventually get bored with sitting and playing, you can always get up, hold mummy’s hands and use the paddling pool like a giant inflatable puddle to splash in. 2nd July 2006.

Journalling reads: There is nothing I love to do more, than shop for clothes for you. Finding you a really cute outfit, is one of those things that makes me happy. I remember that you wore this outfit loads of times, it was one of my favourites at
the time, but these are the only photos, that I can find of you in the complete outfit. The details were so cute. There were two little monkey heads with ears on each foot and a huge furry monkey and the words “Just Hanging Around” on the front of it. Which was so appropriate for you. In these photos you were trying really hard to hang on to the top of your travel cot with one hand, while trying your hardest to climb out over the side! It often used to feel to us that you were a little bit more monkey than boy, since you spent all of your time climbing on to the top of everything. June 2010.

First Swim

Journalling reads: When we stayed in the hotel at Chessington, it seemed like a great idea to take advantage of the private hotel pool, for Logan’s first swim. Somehow we had never really gotten around to taking him before. Normally cameras are banned in public pools but since we had the whole pool to ourselves we were able to take some photos using the mobile phone. At first we took it in turns holding him and letting him splash in the shallow end. Even though he loves the bath at home he wasn’t entirely sure about the pool. Then we all took turns to push him around the pool in his inflatable seat. He seemed to enjoy that a lot more than us holding it. Overall it seemed like he enjoyed himself, but I think his favourite part was when we took him in the whirlpool and turned all the bubble jets on high power. 27th February 2010.

Bang

Journalling reads: We were lucky enough to have one leg of the Olympic torch relay going right past our front door. At first none of us could really grasp why it was so important or why he was there was so much fuss about it. On the day there were huge crowds of people filling the entire road, it was impossible not to get caught up in the excitement of being a small part of this once in a lifetime experience. Once the Samsung sponsorship teams turned up blasting music and riding their quad bikes, the atmosphere completely changed, It became much more of a party. They walked along the road handing out flags and these inflatable noise sticks. The two of you had a great time banging them together and using them to hit each other with.
