More Sleep

Reuben's slowly sleeping in longer blocks and feeding for longer which is a bonus. I've only got Toby for one more week, so it's good to get Reuben into a loose pattern of feeding and sleeping at least. We've been doing a fair few play groups to keep Leon engaged and are in process of sorting him out a sandpit for in the garden. He's still being brilliant, even with teething, which seems to involve him stuffing his hand into his mouth as far as possible and wingeing until the pain goes. Partly why it's best to keep him destracted and busy when it hits. He demands to go out on the pram and seems to be obsessed with going in the toddler seat which can't be a bad thing as we will be walking up and down Lynn Road into town most days once Toby is back to work. As you can see, he's been very helpful with Reuben and doesn't seem to resent him. I worry about when Toby does go back to work as Leon spends load of time with his Dad and is really enjoying having him here all the time. Today, we did playgroup in the morning, came home for lunch and for Leon's sleep and Tob took Leon to the playground and a bike ride on my bike while I had a chance to go through my to do list, book an appointment to get Reuben registered and look at the child benefit forms etc. I can't believe it's been nearly 2 weeks already, it's flying past.

The health visitor will be here tomorrow! We still haven't got the electric shower fixed which went about a week before Reuben was due, so ages ago. It's just a case of not getting round to getting a plumber to quote and in the mean time having baths instead of showers, Tob doesn't like it much as washing his hair involves pouring jugs of water over his head but apart from that it could be worse. It would be good to get it sorted soon now though. Sorted doesn't seem to come up in our vocabulary of new parents of two children now.
