Sprog v1 and Sprog2.0
Poppy has been a busy girl. Yesterday she made pink fairy cakes and today she decorated them. She’s also been keeping an eye on her baby brother for us, making sure he doesn’t drop off to sleep by beeping his nose and shouting ‘boo’. And another recent interest of hers is the’ thing next to baby juvveff’s bottom’. We finally got the Mothercare order today – Joseph has a mattress for his cot and enough bottles to keep us going through the night. I’m working on a video which will be Joseph’s First Week, hopefully get it done for tomorrow but have a little bit more footage I’d like to put in it first. All the visitors have left now so it’s just us until the weekend. Tasks left for me this week include going to the registry office and registering Joseph’s birth, taking Poppy swimming, and sorting out another child trust fund.

The decorating of the hall, landing and stairs is finally completed (apart from an upstairs light fitting). I’ve laid the laminate flooring, a brown oak (as opposed to the yellowy oak colour) colouring and have also finished fitting the edging which is being held in place with a ton of heavy books as we speak. I fitted a set of coat hooks in the study and a show rack fresh from Argos in there too so now we can keep the hallway clear. We were getting quite a buildup of clothing in the hallway which stopped us from opening the front door at times, let alone get a large pram out of the house.
