First post of 2014.

Wow.  This is my first post of 2014 and it's nearly the end of March.  Oops.  Since Rowan started nursery last October our household has had a plethora of viruses.  We've all just recovered from the last bout (an insidious cold that saps your energy in excess of 3 weeks) and I'm hoping that's it for a while.  Poor Rowan has had colds, hand foot and mouth disease, bad ecema between his fingers, more colds and teething over the last few months.
It's also surprisingly exhausting balancing part-time work and family life.  Whilst trying to be taken seriously at work, I'm also struggling with guilt at leaving Rowan 3 days a week - no different to many mums out there!

I would like to post a lot more regularly, but I'm making no promises!

One of the few cupboards without any childlocks.

Naturally, this means I spend most evenings putting

everything back in them after Rowan's investigations.

I keep giving Rowan pencils to draw with.

He keeps eating them.
