Dear Georgie…

Since I became pregnant I’ve been keeping a diary. For Georgie. I don’t know why but a couple of months after I found out I was pregnant and when we knew it was a boy, I suddenly felt the urge to ‘talk’ to him. I felt I had things to say. Even if it is just mentioning a doctor’s appointment or a film I have watched, every few weeks I open this little leather pad and ‘talk’ to my baby. Everytime, I imagine him reading it and asking me to fill him in on the details of events I have written about. It’s funny to think how far away that time is but it wasn’t that long ago that I bought this little leather pad and sat down to write the first time.

friday: food friends music

   Before Georgie was born, Friday nights were very often spent at S’s. She’d cook, I’d bake and the boys would enjoy. The last time we kicked back with a Corona and laughed the night away took place one month before I gave birth so it was really about time we got together. S has recently spent some hard-earned cash on sprucing up her apartment and she’s done an amazing job, don’t you think?   The  boys were so thoughtful bringing a present for the hostess…   …even though it was wrapped in pink (ahem) newspaper…   …and MORE pink newspaper!   I couldn’t help but laugh! She’d been unwrapping forever. Goodnight! x

water, baby

   There’s a reason I sort of ‘believe’ in star signs. Georgie’s a Pisces and guess what? he LOVES water! I don’t know if all kids are as obsessed with water as my little dude is. If so then I have a question, parents? how do you ever get them away from it??? You have no idea how much the poor thing cried when it was time to go. He was inconsolable. When we’re at the beach, things aren’t so bad. But give him a hose, water and trees and he can mess around all day- now if only he had all day. Today he helped his grandfather water the cucumbers, courgettes and tomato patches. He was having so much fun until he got too wet, bedtime was approaching and I had stuff to do. He cried all the way home…all 10 minutes.xxx
