This Little Piggy

Are these not the cutest set of (very slightly grubby) toes you've ever seen?  Believe it or not, he was fast asleep, feet up in the air.   

This kid is so gorgeous it's not true.  And I get to be his Mummy!

Oh No, it's the Cops!!

A few days ago, Gilligan and I went to the park to play with our new Christmas presents.  

He has recently learnt to ride a trike, so I was excited to find a large one at the shops.  Like a lot of children with autism, Gilligan doesn't have great balance.  He's brilliant on his feet - an expert climber and jumper, but not so good on a bike.  So learning to pedal was a huge achievement for him.

As for me?  My Christmas present to myself, courtesy of a voucher my lovely siblings gave me in honour of the rubbish year I've had, was a bright red (yes, the colour is important) Olympus Pen Camera.

Sadly, I have no idea how to use it.

Over the course of the last few months while The Skipper has been so ill, it's been a huge regret that I hardly ever take photos.  So, my only New Year's Resolution is this.  

I will take more photos.

And I might even learn how to use my sexy new camera!

Nee-nah nee-nah

It's thirsty work, this trike-riding business!
