In a spin

Here is Matthew climbing onto the roundabout while it is moving - having pushed it himself. At least he will wait until I stop it before trying to get off!

A frazzled day with clothes changes of various items due to splashing in the sink (twice), sandy socks, accidentally getting off the sofa foot first into mummy's coffee (eek - no harm done though), sitting in a puddle on purpose and accidentally tipping a glass of water over. I think we ended up with a tally of 3 vests, 3 pairs of trousers, 2.5 pairs of socks, 2 Tshirts and 2 jumpers.

A certain amount of putting down of feet on my behalf (particularly at throwing sand and climbing up the slide as it's too high for me to catch him if he tumbles), a not negligible quantity of bribery with smarties and a small amount of actual shouting and swearing and we made it through the day in one piece and moderately cheerful and fed and clean - so it could be worse. But dammit he better not wake me at both midnight and 5:30 am again tonight.
