I had a surprise telephone call earlier this morning from Brett’s sister asking if we’d like to go over for the afternoon……..Of course we did!
We had a lovely play and some great cuddles before a lunch of ham and cheese sandwhiches, grapes, strawberries and crisps followed by some singing
It was a really lovely relaxing afternoon and Edward had a brilliant time on the trampoline and the slide 🙂
so this is Edward. Also known as Monkey, Tinker and Nut Job. He’s just turned 2 and I’m not sure who’s having more fun, us or him. He loves music and helping Brett fix computers and at the moment he’s enjoying Toy Story and The Muppetts!
He is a total boy, most days I come home from work to find him climbing over the sofa or running around half naked singing Queen’s Bohemian Raphsody at the top of his voice (well his version of it any way)
So here I am….little late in the day for getting the blogging vibe but there we go! It’s been a mad few years getting here, some losses, some laughs and lots of loves. I’m going to try to post a little as and when I can, some about me, lots about my little man Edward and maybe some about the stuff we get up to.
So who are we? I’m Kerry, 32 and still growing up. I’m currently (and hope to be for a long time) attatched to Brett, we have a 2 year old little boy, Edward who is BONKERS!!! They are my world. Together we’re a little bit hippy, we love Folk music, recycling and natural parenting. We jointly made the descisions to breast feed, cloth nappy and use slings and taking a more alternative route rather than the ‘norm’ because it felt right and we thought it was just the way you did things.
Sadly breast feeding didn’t go to plan for us, I will tell you all the tale but here and now is not the time. I think it made me determined to cloth nappy Edwards squishy bum and to carry him when I could.
So, there we were cloth nappying him and I was carrying him when I could (I did have a pram and it did get used) I slowly began to realise I loved nappies and had a small obbsession with them lol as Edward grew my obbsession transfered onto slings and then back again! I will write more about my nappies and slings too, but not right now lol
Being on maternity leave encouraged me to re discover my love of knitting and sewing, and while I’m not that fantastic at sewing I like to think I can hold my own when I knit – all thanks to my lovely Nan.
Brett’s a Jack of all trades, if any of you say master of none I may beat you with a feather duster because in all honesty anything he puts his mind to, he masters. He mainly does computering type thingies and likes to tinker with Motherboards and SATR cables, but he also hosts servers and the like.
So to Edward, I never know how to describe him to people. He’s as mad as a bucket of frogs and as gentle and loving as a 2 year old can be. He loves music! very often I catch him singing along to stuff and have a little smile to myself.
We all live together in Leicester, with our Reliants on the drive, computers on the table, wool stashed behind the sofa and toys, books and countless other junk littering the place!
