82. Mr. Letter-Writer (After supporting Johnson Babies with her Sport Relief Zumba flash mob in Barry Island, we called in to Dyffryn Gardens for a breath of fresh air. Inside one of the rooms, they had an old type writer which children were encouraged to type up messages of why they love the place. The Boy was fascinated and his effort is over on my Country Kids post for this week.)
83. Dribble (This photo wasn't picked for the craft item, nor for the look of concentration while he examines the dried glue on his thumb. Nope, I chose it because he's completely oblivious to the big dollop of glue pouring from the spatula in his left hand.)
84. Tentative (This was the night that I was beginning to dread, the night that for the past two weeks had seen much vomit or ridiculously high temperatures. I barely slept that night for worry that something was going to hit him halfway through the night!)
85. Concentration (Hoorah! We passed the mid-week mark without any illness at all! And celebrated with a little Hama bead work from a review set he'd been sent.)
86. Imaginations (This is The Boy's first own LEGO model, designed and made completely by himself. And so it begins…)
87. Boo! Hiss! (Getting the nasty old homework out of the way before the fun of the weekend begins. I know I complained in October that he was having nothing, but five pieces of homework a week does seem a bit much for a 4.5 year old really!)
88. LEGO Mad (We had to go to town today for a few things and ended up in the LEGO store. The Boy was over the moon to spend a very happy thirty minutes making a model, and as a result we bought him a box of generic bits and a base board to build onto! Seems the choice of a LEGO party for his fifth birthday might be a good idea!)

So much concentration this week! Gorgeous 🙂
Fab photo's as usual and love the one of the boy sleeping!
Lovely pictures as always. Love the concentration of the boys face using the typewriter, he looks so grown up in it too x
That top picture is gorgeous. The dribbling glue made me smile too looks like a busy week.
Love his Lego model and his pjs. I'm always looking for checked pjs for z
So pleased he made it through the week without being ill. I can relate to that fear and uncertainty – I've been through that lots of time in the past!
Lego is such a fantastic thing to play with.
Five pieces of homework a week really is a lot for a child in reception!
Sounds like you've had a good week. Must have been great not to have any sickness too! I love that first photo especially having read your post. I learnt to type on an old typewriter a long long time ago and it's such a personal thing – lovely idea. The Boy looks very pleased with his first Lego efforts, I think a Lego party is definitely on the cards!
Lego is awesome, The Boy clearly has good taste. Great photos again this week
Wow, 5 pieces of homework does seem like a lot. He looks so very grown up now, I can't believe how quick times goes. Mich x
Love the Lego model, we saw a typewriter in a hotel in London when we met Postman Pat, Monkey was fascinated with it.
Love the typewriter shot, and oh my goodness does he really get 5 pieces of homework a week?!
Your collection of photos are always so lovely. I particularly love the glue picture, but also the typewriter one, I love old typewriters.
Ah, the lure of Lego! It has taken over our house. The HWK situation seems a bit extreme. Love the typing pic and loved what he produced 🙂
always such lovely pictures, great round up x
Love the dripping glue!
Lego is the best toy ever and they only thing all 3 of my kids all enjoy together (mostly) (specifically until someone uses all the wheels).
Great photos, even though you were worried, I love the sleeping photo, love the shining light casting over your sleeping little man
Lovely pics. Great that he's got past the bug.
I think lego's an essential for any child, and he's obviously got the calling for it now.
Love 86 especially. I love when my kids make the prescribed models, but I love more what they create for themselves.
I just love the tongue of concentration in the first typewriter picture. The lego journey begins, my son will be 9 in a few months and wants a lego party, it doesn't stop, the fascination just gets stronger!
I love the Lego photos! We are firmly in the grip of Lego love here too, and almost all the models my kids make have wheels! Generic bricks are definitely the way to go.
My boy has also spent the entire day constructing with Lego – Love it! Really like the beautiful light on your boy's sleeping face 🙂
he will have fun with his lego for so many years! my dad actually build boxes with handles to sort the lego in the different colours and its currently sat in the cellar waiting for my boy to grow and start playing with it!
I love the sleeping photo and the natural light on his adorable little face. So peaceful
I love the way you capture all his expressions, and he has some great ones!
The falling dollop of glue made me laugh especially as he's concentrating so hard but favourite shot is with the typewriter.
I do love old typewriters. And those Lego shots are great – he clearly loves it!
aaahhhhh lego, generations have enjoyed it, and more generations will….welcome to the creeping into his room in the night to check on him and standing on it….lol
Lots of concentration shots this week, and the tongue in picture 1.
Thank goodness for a week of no illness.
Your little man sleeping there is one of the most peaceful shots I've seen!
The Boy is so photogenic, love the typewriter shot, hope the OH recovers quickly x
Great photos! The girls are huge fans of lego friends x
oh wow a type writer remember those!
carriage return!
The first picture is fantastic, I love the concentration on his face x
I simply love the letter writer pic. AHHH where did that dollop of glue end up?
Loving the Lego modelling. My son gets a jotter of words to write and then make up three sentences, a reading book and math homework for the week and he's doing Primary 3 work at age 6, so that does seem a bit much for the Boy to be getting. Maybe they can see he's ahead for his age and want to push him on? Great photos of the week.
Loving the looks of concentration!
he looks more grown up in the photos this week – and his hair has got long again 🙂
I love the various looks of concentration on his face and maybe some pondering too. look how he is checking out his thumb in the treasure book box photo!!
i love the look on his face proudly showing off his Lego creation (great pjs too) – it is such a great toy to enjoy all that imagination and experimentation creating so many interesting and new items. This could be the start of a looooong obsession/hobby 🙂

I love the sound of a Lego party (very intrigued). The picture with the typewriter is great, a reminder of how much the world has changed!
Glad to see The Boy looking back to his old self and having lots of fun! Fingers crossed all of the illness is behind you now.
Good old Lego!! Great for imaginative minds. I like the sticky finger picture, reminds me of our Ashley who investigates specks of dust on his fingers!
So glad you made it through the week without any sickness, what a relief. Love the photo with the typewriter 🙂
Love the typewriter photo, I'm not sure the girls would understand what one was…they'd ask where the screen was
I totally love the boys face with his lego creation!! i love it! xx
