Slacking

I've been extremely slack lately, it's been hard to find five minutes to jot down some thoughts and when I do have five minutes my brain fails me and just wants to stare at the TV screen.

December. It's been so much fun planning Christmas this year and Isla is so, so excited about it this year. I figure we have probably only got a couple of years before someone let's the cat put of the bag so we are really revelling in it for now. Every day she she asks how many sleeps till Christmas, we all can't wait!

Our cheeky, adventurous climber has just learned how to climb out of his cot so although night sleeps haven't been affected, he refuses to sleep during the day. However at 19 months he still REALLY needs a good few hours. So, I'm writing this while he sleeps in and appears to be catching up.

Its taking every (Im)patient fibre of my being to keep putting him in his cot, over and over to try to get him to sleep. It's hard to be mad though, he will climb out, open the door, hide under Isla's bed or try to run away from me all the time saying "Noooo, nooooo". Rascal.

He's also just started making this cute little frowning face when he's hurt himself or when something is "bobo" (broken), every time we leave the house he stands and touches the garage door (currently on the blink), frowning, pouting and saying "bobo, bobo".  Funny guy.

Next time I have some minutes to spare and can kick start the brain I will get onto a Christmas post, otherwise it will be 2014 before I'm back on here!
