59: Time to try and start repairing the garden after the battering it's had the past few months. Removing broken fences, repositioning the huge pergola so that it was straight and shoring it up, repairing the water feature. Bloody winds.
60: The Boy cwtched up on the sofa watching tv before school. I love the way that he's got his hands clasped together under his chin.
61: Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant! St. David's Day and The Boy had the infants Eisteddfod today so he went adorned in his Welsh rugby shirt and dragon hat. Rooooaaar!
62: Wednesday = sleeping child photo. Yes he's wearing Christmas pyjamas, but he's convinced that they're Minecraft pyjamas.
63: World Book Day in school and The Boy agreed to wear a wizard's hat and cloak to go as Oliver Moon, one of his favourite library books. I think they stayed on for around half an hour!
64: We were heading out for an overnight stay and I was sure that The Boy would need new trainers for the event the next day. We stopped at Brantano and I found out that everything was reduced as they've gone into administration! We ended up buying new shoes all around and this is The Boy testing to see if daddy's shoes fit, "Wiggle your toe daddy! Does it feel tight or ok?" "It's fine darling, but that's my little toe."
65: We have had a super day and I want to tell all but I'm not really allowed to until the campaign launches in April. Nonetheless, that's The Boy having some personal training from a former British #1 who he adored. We were then able to have a really in-depth conversation about tennis and its benefits before then going to see Andy and Jamie Murray play in the doubles match for The Davis Cup! So, so exciting!

What a fab opportunity to see the Murrays play! Love his dressing up too – I'd last about half an hour too and am dreading a superhero day in a couple of weeks – for me!
Mary @ Over 40 and a Mum to One says
Love your Welsh Dragon and that last shot. Not sure Monkey would have joined in but I would have loved to watch the tennis.
jenny paulin says
Yesterday sounds like a very exciting day for you all – great to get some tennis tips from a pro. Love his happy face in the St Davids day photo π x
Sarah MumofThree World says
Wow, what an exciting day with the tennis! I saw a lot of photos of this yesterday and it looked like great fun.
The Boy looks very happy in his Welsh gear. Hope your garden is looking a bit better now.
Susan Mann says

Stephanie says
Oh now exciting that you got that experience, looking forward to hearing more about it. I didn't know Brantanto was shutting down.
Sara | mumturnedmom says
I saw lots of photos of yesterday on social media and it looked amazing! Love that last photo, great shot π The Welsh dragon photo made me smile, what a great expression x
Louise (Little Hearts, Big Love) says
Love that final photo and the look on the Boy's face. How lovely that you got to see the Murrays play in the Davis Cup π
Rachel In Real Life says
The Boy looks rather chuffed in his Welsh get up and what an amazing opportunity to meet and be coached by such a pro!
Emma T says
I'm so jealous about the tennis. It was my sport at school and uni (well, apart from squash), and even N is enjoying it at school (result, better than football!).
Loving the welsh get up.
HPMcQ says
oh look at the boys face! what a fantastic opportunity to meet annabel croft and see the murrays, saw some of the photos on social media looked ace! ha ha ha ha pardon the pun #sorrynotsorry
Em Gordon says
Oh my goodness sounds amazing, roll on April to hear even more! I can't believe Brantano has gone into administration, I got my very first job aged 16 in one of their stores, lots of memories made and still friends with some I worked with. Hopefully the weather will begin to improve and your garden can begin to look ship shape again, urg to broken fences.
Kirsty Hijacked By Twins says
I didn't know about Brantano, I will be popping in to see if they have any good bargains. I did see your pictures over the weekend of the tennis and it looked like a great day! Hope you have a good week x
Honest Mum says
What a weekend it was and so lovely to spend time with you guys and meet the boy and your husband. One of the most fun events I've ever attended, the energy was AMAZING! You boy is gorgeous and so in love with his Mama, rightly so x
Kara says
Oh just look at his face with Annabelle Croft. Wonder what she was saying to him?
Mandi says
Looks like a fab week, I love all of the different expressions on the boy's face, especially the one with Annabel, he looks very smitten!

Thank you, I love that one too because it really shows his personality.
Elaine Livingstone says
He looks engrossed in the tv. Love him in the dragion hat that is one happy face.
How exciting to meet somebody he adores. Free tickets to see the tennis and such big names as well.
Laughed at the helping dad to make sure his shoes fit properly.

Aww! I love the boy's face when he's with Annabel Croft! It was such a fun weekend and I can't wait to read more about this on your blog in the future!
Galina V says
We also need to do some garden repairs, the January storms have ripped the door off our greenhouse and broke the glass. sigh. What a fab opportunity to see the Murrays! My little man loves dressing up too. I'll have to look up that book, don't think I know it.
Suzanne says
