Day 9 - Thursday, August 13th

What made me smile today?

  • Baby giving me a huge smile before falling asleep while we were walking to the tube station
  • The way Baby asks for something and how his tone gradually becomes more urgent if he is being ignored - I have to try to capture this in a video one day, it's hilarious
  • How Baby seems to have a love hate relationship with his soft toy lion and how he knows his name is Cecil (yes, I named him Cecil as Tahseen gave it to Baby literally the day after Cecil news broke and all I could think of was Cecil every time I looked at it)

    What triggered me today?

    Not dinner today! But only because Baby was unwell from his vaccinations, so he only had toast for dinner. I expect I'll struggle again once he recovers, which I really hope is sooner rather than later. Instead, I thought I would let Baby help me by picking off the leaves from the basil plants I bought today. He loved picking off the leaves, however he also loved putting his hands into the bowl and squishing the picked leaves in his hands. I had to ask him to stop several times, and in the end I got rather annoyed that he wasn't able to stop squishing and bruising my leaves. However, in hindsight, I do understand why he kept doing it and I should have seen it at the time...

    What would I have done differently today?

    Perhaps not used such a stern voice when asking Baby not to squish my basil leaves.

    What will I try to do tomorrow?

    Rethink my stern voice.

    What am I grateful for?

    Baby's vomit after breakfast this morning being seemingly quite harmless (I hope this doesn't come back to bite me).
