summer nights

    Georgie is finally at that stage where a night out won’t mess with his routine or my patience. I always make sure he’s had a good nap in the afternoon, possibly later than usual, and that our destination is somewhat kid-friendly. We decided to grab an early dinner last night at a gorgeous little taverna in Aglantzia, Nicosia. Georgie fed the cats souvlaki and spent half the evening staring up at the beautiful lights. He’s almost 17 months now and becoming such a character. But above all, he’s a happy baby. People notice that at once when they meet him and although I’m not too keen on him walking up to complete strangers, I am very proud my baby is growing up with a smile on his face.

taking it easy

   The past three days have been a lesson to me. DON’T LEAVE YOUR CHILD …ever. Actually I’m only joking…well, kind of. You see, I’m sure my little dude is feeling a little low. He seems to whine about everything and has also learnt how to stomp his feet. I don’t even think it’s something he’s learnt; it looks natural when he does it but boy, does it piss me off. Seriously. He’s not his usual happy self. Perhaps he is reacting to the separation. I certainly am; being extra patient and allowing him to hoover anytime he feels like it.    I’ve been making smoothies and wearing dresses, taking my baby for an afternoon ride to the beach and walking barefoot. But his behavior still bothers me. I fear we have entered the tantrum stage. And I know I need to nip it in the bud but how, especially when you have those eyes looking right at you?!

separation

Even at the moment I was clicking on the ‘book now’ icon, I wasn’t really sure if what I was doing was ‘right’. I would be enjoying five whole days with friends I love, in a gorgeous European city, photographing all day,drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, buying quirky bits and bobs, walking through parks…but without my baby. With only three days to go, how is this going to work, mummy?

snacks

     When Georgie started eating healthier snacks, I felt a huge weight was lifted. I have always tried to give him the best, which, to me, means homemade and organic. Yet some days I feel all he’s eaten is biscuits, cornflakes and bread. But when I started taking pictures of products I use on a daily basis, I gave myself a pat on the back. Here are a couple taken through Instagram.     Berry yoghurt.   He absolutely loves tomatoes and cheese.      My little dude tried some hummus for the first time and just wouldn’t stop. I’m not a huge fan hence begin so late introducing him to it.     At least he’s eating, I tell myself…x

odd ends

odd ends…with commentary

  Need I say ANYTHING!    We are experiencing some weird weather conditions. It rained today. I think we’re nearing a tropical climate more and more every year.           My really good friend Ilia was on TV this morning demonstrating her ridiculously perfect makeup skills. Woohoo!      Georgie playing with his cousin in their new paddling pool.       A beautiful breezy day at the beach where we also had some good old fashioned fish and chips with tons of vinegar! Devoured it in a second so no pics. Oops.       Yiayia and pappou.       Pick n’ Mix. Not really my idea of good fun unless chocolate is involved.      Awesome birthday card.    Homemade bolognese.   Georgie in my dad’s MG.     Mia and Oliver.   Enjoy your weekend. I’m off to pack……..something is brewing…x
