I touch smooth skin and soft hair – whatever I can reach – in reassurance of his existence. As if my vision is a lie my other senses in denial. My boy, smiles, and so do I, following the rise and dip of each vertebra holding him together. As he …
Snappy has weaned himself off breast milk. We helped, but to be honest he did most of the work himself. He’s been eating pretty well since we started him on mush just before he hit six months. He went from one meal to two meals a day pretty quickly. My …
Shock of all shocks I actually went to see a GP this week for my migraines. I also went with bethend to her appointment (and she came to mine). While they were waiting for me to finish work (partly the reason I never go to see the GP) they went …
As you may recall, I had some problems with having too many cats when Snappy came along. I still have too many cats and the similarities between babies and cats continue – I have discovered recently that both babies and cats will eat anything off the floor. Crumbs, cat biscuits, …

We went to church for Easter service today (I had sooo many question but was very well behaved). Service was okay, not great and I get the point the reverand was trying to make. Snappy had a good time and the reverand’s son and set up an egg hunt for …
Snappy has gone from only being interested in walking to crawling around the house and garden at a disturbing speed. I was pretty sure he was just going to skip the entire crawling bit and go straight into walking; I bought him a walker and everything, but he’s figured out …
