40. The Boy (Playing on the beach at sunset, plopping pebbles and making sand angels. I love my son.)
41. New Glasses? (The Boy's teacher had expressed concerns about his eyesight so he had drops in to dilate his pupils for an in-depth test. Nothing the matter with them, thank goodness, which is lucky considering how dreadful his paternal family's eyesight is.)
42. Scoot (A scoot along the promenade at dusk to make sure we just managed a small amount of fresh air! We're so fed up of this rain!)
43. Two-can (We've received a Toucanbox to review – good to see how they've progressed since we first reviewed them – and The Boy was getting to grips with all the activities and where to start! It's a great after-school play activity for us.)
44. Cheese (Thought it was a bit different from the standard sleeping Boy shot!)
45. Jump (There are oodles of puddles on the pavement outside of school, it comes from the council being so God-damned awful at repairing the highways and walkways. It does make for fun and games on the way home though!)
46. Destined Besties? (These two here. Born 11 hours and 55 minutes apart. In the same hospital. One room apart. Shared a pre-delivery room. Shared a post-delivery ward. Live one street away. Best friends in school. The absolute best friends. And his mum and I only discovered their connection a month ago.)

That top photo!! Love it. And love the development of their friendships at that age π
Elaine Livingstone says
I guess in the first one he was cold, I love the ruddiness to his cheeks, he is turning into one handsome young man, gone is the wee boy look. Glad he does not need glasses, but you were wise to get him tested.
Amazing how there is a link with his best friend, When my 2nd daughter was born ( a month early) the woman who lived down the stairs from me was in at the same time. There was 30 hrs between them, yet dates wise there should have been 6 weeks as her wee boy was 2 weeks late. They played togehter all the time until we moved.
