Buying shoes scares me. I’ve never enjoyed shoe shopping and I’m terrified of buying shoes for Edward in case I damage his feet.

Wooden baby walker
When Edward saw a large cardboard box in the living room one morning he clearly thought it was Christmas. He was very excited and tried to rip the box open and was a bit put out when I said we had to wait for daddy to come downstairs. (Note to self – make sure any…
Sand and water play
Edward loves playing with his sand pit and water table. I have hundreds of photographs of him enjoying playing in our garden. Quite often he will go through several changes of clothes a day at my insistence (he couldn’t care less about being sandy or wet!). The lovely people at Bigjigs sent Edward a bucket…
