Keeping upright

The Young Master has a chesty cough and doesn't like lying down. So we (mostly I) walked round and round with him, singing, jiggling, anything to keep him from crying, so that his mum could grab 40 winks. They'd had another bad night, and she, too, has the cold (which I seem to be starting now, as well).

Poor babe kept rubbing his eyes and yawning but no matter what I tried he would not sleep. Just like his sister at this age! Ho hum. At least we're only down the road when they could use a bit of help, which is good. Didn't see LMB today as she was at Nursery (only on two days this week and next). 

Today is the one year anniversary of the day we first set eyes on this house. We looked round and decided it was for us straight away. Of course, it was autumn before we finally held the keys, but here we are. Phew!
