335. Poser (Today saw our local pier pavilion re-open after extensive building work to renovate it, mostly funded by local people and organisations, along with a National Lottery grant. We went down for the opening and also a charge around in the brisk, Winter air before heading off to a classmate's party.)
336. Poet Laureate (After school The Boy picked up the notebook that he'd had in the party bag the previous day and started writing in it. I love that he loves to write, and that he's started making little notes. I look forward to the day when I find a book full of made up stories.)
337. Big Moment (The Boy always puts the star on top of the tree, and I always have to correct it afterwards; it's a heavy star that goes on a spindly 'twig'. I love the look of anxiety on his face!)
338. Bed Fellows ('Puntsey' has been a regular bed companion since Children In Need, Oliver Monkey doesn't mind as it means they can share watch duties alongside having plenty of cuddles from The Boy.)
339. Bird Man (We went to feed the swans after school; it was just as well we did because they were starving! The minute we slammed the door shut in the car park, they were clambering up the ramp. We got to the entry gate and they were standing there waiting for us! I deposited The Boy on the boardwalk as it forced the swans back into the water to be fed.)
340. Double (I set up a free craft table after school for The Boy and let him create freely. I adore his double chin in this photograph!)
341. Plees (We went to Dyffryn Gardens today to enjoy the Christmas craft fair; the first to be held there in over two decades. I used to go regularly as a child and it's a special venue to hold one. There was a table set up to write letters to Father Christmas, so The Boy sat down and wrote one all by himself.)

So many of your photos at the moment would look amazing in a frame, that first photo is really really beautiful! He is so brave with those swans, A is terrified of them and would never get that close
Love the swan pic – I think the number of them would have intimidated me though!
awww that first photo is lovely he looks so cheeky with his tongue out and legs up in the air behind him.
its funny how he can look quite grown up in that first photo and then looks so young in the star one!
Great letter writing in the notebook and the letter to FC x
That top photo is just gorgeous! Another lovely picture of the boy and swans too. He really is brave x
Love the pic of him writing 🙂
Love the cheeky mischievous look of the first picture. I also note we have 2 concentration pictures without a tongue sticking out. and aaahhhhh at him fast asleep
beautiful shots honey, my fave has to the one where he is putting on the star its beautiful x
Aww the sleeping boy and Pudsey photo is so cute 🙂
I love the look on his face with the star on the tree
Love his writing and concentration but that first picture steals the show!
Never could I have believed that adore and double chin could be used in the same sentence but you are so right. The pier pic may be posed but it's adorable
Every photo is fab again, Love the first one, so cheeky!
I adore the first picture on the bench – that is one to print and frame!
Very impressed the boy wrote his very own letter to Santa – what did he ask for?
Love the Christmas build up. It's magical. He's such a cutie, you do so many amazing things with him x
Love that picture of him on the bench. So cheeky!
I love the swans picture, I bet they were grateful for the food at this time of year.
Lovely letter to Santa! I love the sleepy photo too – always my favourite!
Love his concentration face!
Just watch, you'll soon be getting lovely little love notes from him 🙂
That first photo is so lovely! Wee Z used to write love notes to one of the girls in his nursery class. Now he just writes stories involving the magic key from those Biff and Chip books.
Love the concentration on The Boy's face as he is putting the star on the tree. And what great writing!
Love his letter to Father Christmas and the bench picture is a classic! He is so brave with those swans – I think they are beautiful but slightly scary!
I love that piccie of The Boy on the pier. So cheeky.
All the photos feel so christmassy, I love the look on his face when he's putting up the star.
Oh that first pic is lovely!!
The swans and ducks do seem to be hungry…we went to feed them and they were surrounding the car before we had even got out (we can park by the lake)
