173. Golden Hour (Off to the beach for some wonderful later afternoon playing in the sunshine, and I managed to capture The Boy during the 'golden hour' of sunlight in the evening. Obviously, I like this photo because of my son's actions, but I also really like the toddling baby and mother silhouetted in the background.)
174. Rash (I'm a bit fed up of him being ill now. He's had a rash on his legs for three weeks now, looked like a heat rash or friction or something at first, but over the weekend it spread all over his legs and his torso. I took him to the doctor, a locum, who was quite thorough in his assessment even testing for diabetes (eeek!) but in the end he felt he'd had a scarlet fever relapse and prescribed 10 days of antibiotics and 24 hours off school. My poor boy and his atrocious attendance this year, I can't believe how many illnesses he's had! The only way to cool down on a hot day like this when you have a rash all over is in the pool of course!)
175. Ant's View (We finally finished off a craft activity which I've had on the go for over six months. More to follow. Needless to say, all they really need is a cardboard box and some cars!)
176. Personal Space (The Boy has started to ask if he can play in his room, which is both lovely and slightly sad. It means I might get some more storage back downstairs but makes me a little sad that I'll have to go and seek him out to spend time with him. All part of growing up though, and it makes me happy that he's so content in his bedroom.)
177. Sleeping (The rather fabulous Alison from Five Go Blogging was slightly concerned that The Boy's new high bed would put an end to the sleeping child photos, not at all as it just means I don't have to bend down to take the photo now!)
178. The Tongue of Concentration (A little after school play with a birthday LEGO set and the old familiar tongue of concentration makes a reappearance!)
179. Sneaky (I don't know what you're talking about?! We certainly would never eat a strawberry before we had paid for it!)

I adore the pic of The Boy in the sea, childhood at it's best – as it the strawberry picking photo! #365
You've created such an awesome room for your boy, no wonder he likes to play in it! He looks so like you in that red t-shirt. Yum to strawberry season!
mmmm strawberries. the first photo has to be my favourite, the lighting is amazing!! x
I love the light on the beach picture. Sorry to hear The Boy has been poorly again. That strawberry looks delicious! I can just imagine how good it tastes 🙂
I do envy you living near to the sea, must be lovely. Poor boy, he really is suffering at the moment isn't he!
Love the first picture, fab capture 🙂 I wish we had a PYO farm near us
I love that first photo! Lovely! Also the one of the boy playing in his new room and of him eating the strawberry! We must take ours strawberry picking! Great round up!
Beuatiful photos. I love it when kids stick their tongues out when concentrating.
I love the tunnel for the bus – thats just given me an idea. And those strawberries look like they're pretty lush 🙂
I always love your beach and sleeping photos but that strawberry picking one us fab too. Poor boy. Hope he feels much better soon, it's not much fun being poorly x
Love the concentration tongue! So funny.
We went strawberry picking – I'd told N not to eat any, but he had one after the people in the next row of plants told him he had to test them. Fresh from the field are the best tasting!
Love that first picture!
I remember eating loads of strawberries when we went strawberry picking as kids!
Yum, that strawberry looks good. I love the pic of him right down on the floor playing with the tunnel, it's a great shot
Aww The Boy's room looks so awesome, he must love spending time in there. So sorry he's been poorly again, hopefully that's the end of it now. Love the first and last photos especially. Just lovely 🙂
the beach shot is stunning! what a great way to blow those cobwebs from London away xx
I adore the angle of the craft construction. If you were closer I would send you the packaging from my new toaster immediately. Lots of potential there. As for the concentration tongue, my boy still has it at 16
uhm we *may* have eaten several strawberries wihtout paying for them!!!
the light and look of joy on the boy face in the sea is delightful and i love seeing him play in his room. it is sooo tidy!! love seeing the tongue of concentration
and i really hope he will be better after this current lot of anti biotics x
Just love the beach one into the sun and very envious of the strawberry picking as I haven't found anywhere here yet
I just adore the pic of him splashing in the sea at sundown…..I really must take mine strawberry picking too xx
Hope he's better now. He certainly seems to be enjoying the new room.
I love the tongue out in concentration. My dad always used to do that.
That first photo is really stunning. I can't blame him for wanting to spend time in his bedroom, it looks so amazing. Ah yes the tongue of concentration, I know it well. I must take my lot fruit picking, we have never been.
I am so pleased that he is enjoying his bedroom after all your hard work! I love the tongue out concentrating picture x #Project365
The beach 'golden hour' is gorgeous. I love beach pictures.
Sorry that he has been ill again, I hope that's the last of it now!
Love the strawberry picking/eating pic. Yet to try this activity with my two. x
That beach shot is amazing! Love the Lego one too 😉
The BEST bit of strawberry picking is having a sneaky nibble! I love the look of his new room and enjoy the quiet moments x
Your boy has such a neat and tidy room! Fab photos from your week, especially the one where he's getting wired into those strawberries!! #365
I love the photo of the boy on the beach! We would never, ever, ever eat the fruit and veg from the pyo before we pay either .. We merely sample the produce to check quality 😉
Just love the first shot at the beach. And those strawberries are just being asked to be eaten straightaway!
Golden hour indeed! Super silhouette – reminds me of "Lucy and Tom go to the seaside". Sorry that himself has been unwell again and hope this will have sorted it out now. Hurrah for making such a fab room that he wants to be in it (nice problem)
That sea pic is fabulous and I love the strawberry one too – here's hoping this week is a week without illness for you x
love the trail of splashing behind him in the sea, and the mother and toddler are very "topical" for you as you are watching your boy grow ever more independent this week. (dont worry he will still need you for a long time yet)
Love his face as he eats the strawberry, and nice to know we can still get sleeping pics.
So lucky to have the beach so close.
The Boy must feel confident in his own company, shows he has the skill set to play alone and keep occupied.
My oldest boy used to play on our landing for hours with his road mat, cars, trains and models.
That first photo is stunning! And I love the look of the finished "project" – look forward to hearing more. Just been seeing your tweets and have to say it sounds like a horrid experience – hope you sleep better tonight, knowing there's nothing likely to eat you x
173 is gorgeous! Also loving the look of the craft project
