110. Hunter! (Off to Dyffryn Gardens for an Easter Egg Hunt, and this year Cadbury's have supplied the intrepid explorers with these marvellous hats!)
111. Dude! (We headed to Hendrewennol PYO fruit farm today for an Easter Egg Hunt which was brilliant fun. Afterwards The Boy asked to go to Southerndown, one of our favourite beaches, and we had a wonderful afternoon in the warm Spring sunshine.)
112. Let's Get Squiggling (He decided that he wanted to try and copy Squiglet's etchings today, so I carried through his play table and had to pause the television after each main drawing point for him to copy the technique shown. I think he's managed a good cow, don't you?)
113. Storytime (While mum accompanied this big scaredy-cat to the dentist for what could have been a nasty root canal surgery, my sister looked after The Boy ably assisted by her two children. Stories read by your big cousin are the best kind it seems.)
114. Scaring Mummy (Need I say any more? This was the first time he'd done this!)
115. Silhouette (Mum came over and the three of us went out for lunch, then to one of our favourite parks in Cardiff. The Boy was keen to clamber to the top of this frame, which was also a roundabout, and requested I spin it fast. I declined until he was sat down nearer to the ground!)
116. Downpour (We went to a local country park that a friend recommended to us, but it widdled it down and we couldn't explore it properly as we weren't togged up. Hey-ho! Such is life in April. Oh and we wondered why the ducks weren't interested in our bread, but then I spotted them having special cuddles in the hedgerows, which explains it all really. Would you stop that for a bit off stale brioche?)

I love that beach photo, such a great face of sheer and utter joy! That one, the Easter egg trail and the upside down one are the faves this week. Sounds like it's not been a bad week. Thank you so much for linking me up, so kind of you (internet been a bit wobbly on PC tonight!) x

I love seeing photos of the boy getting up to all sorts! When they're growing so quickly it's lovely to be able to look back and remember those precious days x

I really do love that photo from the beach, priceless. Love the expression on his face in the climbing frame photo and the silhouette image is great x
Kat / An English Mamma in Stockholm says
Love the shot of him hanging upside down! But I can understand why it gave you a fright π
Oh, Dyffryn Gardens – that takes me back to my childhood holidays.
Kriss MacDonald says
It's amazing how you always capture these moments of your son with such beautiful expressive photos.
Katie says
Storytime with siblings is the BEST!
Steph @MisplacedBrit.com says
This week, it's the colouring that's grabbed me! I get the feeling he's really concentrating on that one! Beautiful shots – as always π
Emma says
Beautiful shots! I think my fave has to be "portrait with spade" π
Angela says
Brilliant photos, especially like day 111 and 113 x
Mummy of Two says
Can't believe you had the energy for anything after Butlins let alone all of the fun things you have done this week! Lovely photos as always.

LOVE the white background in the second picture, really makes the red pop.
Jaime Oliver says
my lovely these are stunning i am totally loving the digging and upside down one! x
Notmyyearoff says
Love the one with him upside down – he's becoming so adventurous now. Z is like this but it always gives me a mini heart attack as I'm constantly shouting "BE Careful!"
Katie says
can't decide which is my favourite this week – loads of brilliant ones! the hat, the digging, and the climbing frame are all and the gardening are great, but I think the blanket one is fabulous too!
Mary @ Over 40 and a Mum to One says
Love the upside down photo, although I would also have been having kittens if Monkey had done that #365
brinabird and son says
When my wee man follows get squiggling it does not come out quite the same. Great all the outdoor action.
Super Busy Mum {Debs} says
Love these photos and your boy is just a handsome little bud isn't he! #365
Kirsty - Hijacked by Twins says
As always, they are beautiful pictures! I love the one on the beach with the spade, it is lovely! Have a good week x
Sonia Constant says
Lovely photos. He is getting so big and what a handsome fella ;0) x
HPMcQ says
love his expression with the shovel, such cheekiness beaming out of those gorgeous eyes x
Emma T says
Love the Easter hat photo. Such happiness.
I'm sure boys are put upon this earth to worry parents once they start getting adventurous.
Michelle Twin Mum says
Is he as cheeky as he looks, you do capture some wonderful facial expressions. Mich x
Fivegoblogging says
Love that hanging upside down shot! Bet you were ever so slightly freaked out! He's such a gorgeous boy as seen in the shovel portrait, such a sweetie π
Kara says
He has such a cheeky little grin and love the picture of him hanging upside down. I admire you for taking that pic as I would be hovering close by in case he fell!
OneDad3Girls says
The Boy has such a cheeky face. It sounded like the Easter Egg hunt was really good. The girls would be very jealous of him going to the beach. The girls loved going to Padstow with a sandy beach as all we have here is pebbles.
Menai says
We need to go to the beach more! Hurrah for stories, squiggling and your safe return from the dreaded dentist.
Rachael says
I love the beach picture. All of your pictures are great, but I keep scrolling back to that one. The one of him hanging upside down is fab too – not looking forward to when my boy starts with all of that! x
LauraCYMFT says
Loving the hat photo! Boys will definitely be boys and they definitely like to give Mum a scare!!
Honest Mum says
Aw beautiful boy and what a fun week you all had!
Honest Mum says
Well the root canal aside!
Su Tyler says
Love the boy upside down – scary for parents but such fun for him. π
My favourite is the one of him with the spade at the beach.
Keep on keeping on – hope your mojo comes back in full force soon π
Faded Seaside Mama says
Massive apologies but I realised today I'd completely forgotten to comment on your lovely photos! We have the same climbing frame and I'm sure it won't be long until Bunny is doing the same – she's started doing it on the bike racks at school so it's a natural progression! Maybe I'm a bit weird but it doesn't bother me in the slightest – I know I did it and lived to tell the tale! Love the silhouette too! Your photos always make me smile – he looks like such a gorgeous and happy little boy!
Elaine Livingstone says
I dont like the dentist either, dont blame you for taking moral support, and nice for The Boy to spend time with cousins.
I wonder why you would not spin him while he was stood at the top!!
