We went to the dietitian today, and the lad weighs in at a whacking 10kg (22lbs). It seems to have been a psychological barrier for us, so let's hope the progress continues. The lad didn't want to leave the waiting room afterwards, there were so many great toys there, so we stayed an extra half hour.

Nathan's back to walking again, and enjoyed the day with Nanna. Afterwards we played outside in lovely warm sunshine. It was great.

The foot was still no better, so we went to the accident and emergency department of the Royal Berkshire Hospital to see what the doctors thought.

They took an x-ray, and it showed some extremely beautiful, and undamaged little bones. The verdict was to give the lad Calpol, and it would heal by itself. We were out again in two hours and Nathan was as good as gold throughout. He didn't like being examined, but was very brave.

Later we went to a reunion of the Babies in Buscot Support group, BIBS. It was very nice to see some of Nathan's contemporaries, some old friends, and meet up with one or two fans of the website.

A bit of a disaster this morning. Nathan fell a couple of steps down the stairs and twisted his ankle. He couldn't walk for a couple of hours, but could just about hobble about by bedtime.

We went to a friend's third birthday in the afternoon, and Nathan enjoyed crawling around all the play equipment that was available in the hall that was booked. He also ate his first ham sandwich as part of the party food afterwards.

Another relaxed day; we played out in the garden and, after lunch and a sleep, we went into Reading on the train.

These slow days of Easter holiday have been really good. Nathan and dad have got to know each other better, and we really enjoy each other's company.

We went to a little friend's for the day, and played in the sandpit, and with lots of toys. A lot of fun.

This little chap is four months ahead of Nathan, and where there used to be a huge gap in physical development, it's a lot smaller than it was. Nathan's still smaller, and still a toddler, rather than fully a little boy, but seeing them together makes it clear how much progress Nathan has made.

We did absolutely nothing today, just played in the new sandpit when it was sunny. Very enjoyable.
