Nanna came today and Nathan had loads of fun. Later we managed to "trick" him into eating Marmite (by saying "just lick your finger" when he covered it in Marmite while playing with it) and the look on his face! Suffice it to say that the lad isn't to keen on the black stuff, unlike his dad.

The same as yesterday, and a nice change to the hectic week and weekend days we've had for the last few weeks.

A quiet day at home. Nathan was shouting Ah! at us and Daddy shouted Ah! back. Nathan said "Mummy do Ah!". Mummy did, but not wholeheartedly enough, for the lad said "Do Ah! properly".

Granny came today and Nathan played all day. We also managed a quick play outside before it started snowing.

Today we went to Cintra Park and met up with some old friends. Then into town for a quick shop, which Nathan slept through. Then we spent the afternoon mooching about the house. A most enjoyable day.

We went to see the dietician today. Nathan was weighed in at 9.5 kg (20lb 12oz). This is a slight loss in weight. The dietician didn't mind as the lad has grown in height to 84cm (2ft 9). He's also been ill recently.

In fact, she even suggested that we not see her any more as we are due to be referred to a psychiatrist. This seemed a bit sudden to us, so we've booked in for another visit, just in case: she's sone so much good for the lad.

We went on to Hickory Dickory Dock and Nathan enjoyed himself. The next big step at this class will be when the lad walks round the room playing his instrument along with all the other children.

Yesterday morning mum walked into the lad's room. He was lying on his front. Mum whispered "are you awake?". Nathan whispered back "No".

Today we went to Maiden Erlegh parent toddler group and then on to swimming.

Nathan enjoyed both, and particularly the swimming. Much more so than last time. In fact, we got him in the water this time!
