busy day with the boy

I missed out on my day with Zeke last week so today felt delightful. We shopped for sandals (it’s been a long hunt to find some he’d accept) and he also found a present for his baby brother (extra). After lunch he scooted up to his swimming lesson with me trying to jog behind him - I genuinely feared a baby limb might drop out at any given moment. Once we’d collected Eve from school (which involved another worrying scooter jog) we headed to the Curly Cornet as his reward for 10 dry nights - what a little hero. I’m trying to ignore how thoroughly shattered I am and make the most of straightforward fun with this pair, baby is still ages away but has started to seem more like a reality (partly because I’m now so fat people stop me in the street to helpfully point out “ooooh, not long now” and “are you sure there’s just one in there?” - such fun).
