187. Confident Climber (Relieved after a good night's sleep in a comfortable and clean bed rather than the diabolical state of the caravan we'd been reviewing the previous night, we all slept until 10 o'clock. We nipped over to Newport to see a friend and then popped into the nearby National Trust Tredegar House for a quick look around. They have wonderful climbing trees in the grounds, and The Boy showed off how confident he's becoming with climbing.)
188. Elmer Maths (After school fun with a dice, a patchwork elephant and some new felt pens!)
189. Tengo Una Muneca (I gave The Boy the little music box that I'd bought in Barcelona ten years ago, and he is completely mesmorised by it.)
190. Missed! (I LOVE this photo because he looks so happy in the kick he's just performed, despite the fact that he's completely missed the ball)
191. Proud (The Boy's end of year class assembly today and he was wonderful; so confident and engaged, such a far cry from the little boy who stood on the stage for the harvest assembly and fought back tears by biting his lip.)
192. Daredevil (After school play date with a classmate and his younger brother, and it was lovely to see the three of them playing together in the garden.)
193. Wheee! (Grandma and Grandpa visited today and we headed into Cardiff Bay for the food and drink festival, where they managed a go on the helter-skelter before the rain came.)

I just adore the Boy's smiles!!
Love the football pic
Great shots of the Boy. I love the kick one – very reminiscent of the kick in Karate Kid.
And the helter skelter one is brilliant. So much fun in his face
The boy always looks so happy, lovely to see!! Love the helter skelter shot x
Lovely photos as always, he has such a lovely smile and the look of concentration is just wonderful.
Lots of great pics of the Boy! Love the one of him and the football.
Aw I just love his cheeky little smile 🙂 can't help but smile too when see it. Love the concentration on his face too, looks like he enjoyed colouring Elmer in
I do not like the sound of that caravan at all! Always lovely to come back to your own bed isn't it? Loving some cheekiness from The Boy this week, especially at his end of year assembly. So wonderful to watch them growing up and gaining confidence isn't it?
I love his proud smile there.
The boy looks like me trying to kick a ball! Love the grins and poking out tongue snaps
Love the look of concentration with the music box and the kick one is fab!
It's great isn't it? He was completely oblivious to the fact that the had missed it.
Such wonderful expressions in all the photos, he looks so happy and excited by everything! Love the first photo in the tree and the football one x
I LOVE missed, he looks so pleased with himself! The helter skelter pic brings back some fab memories. #365
loving the boys concentrated look lol .. and the action shot!
awww some really gorgeous photos of your happy boy this week, my favourite is the first one in the tree and i love the look of exhilaration on his face in the goal one x
As always such beautiful pictures! I particularly love the one in the tree and the proud face at school. Looks like a lovely week. Thank you for your lovely comment on my post last week xx
He will go far, I thought he had a goal with that kick he looks so proud! Cracking shot
That helter skelter shot is fab – and he does look so happy in all the photos! Especially love how proud he looks in the tree!
The Boy just has the best facial expressions! Awesome smile and a great concentration face too. Brilliant! The tree and the goal photos are definitely the favourites 🙂
He's like me, wears his heart on his sleeve, or rather on his face. It's landed me in trouble a few times with bosses and the like when I look less than enthusiastic!
I love his range of expressions, but especially the football photo. I was looking at it thinking it looked like he'd missed and then I read your words and he had! Bless him – you would never guess from his face!
I adore the picture of him in the tree, he looks so comfortable there. He is getting so tall too!
I love the tree picture – he looks like he's having a lot of fun there.
The boy is so photogenic! I love the climbing shot of him. So handsome x
Your Boy has *such* a beautiful smile – it's infectious!
I said this the other day but my oh my he has grown up in matter of weeks! Beautiful photos as always, beautiful x
I adore the photos of your boy – super cute and that winning smile! I love the idea of Elmer maths! Sounds like alot of fun! x
There's some fabulous action shots in your collection this week, and I love the one of The Boy in a tree. Such a wonderful smile, as others have already said 🙂
We had our end of year production this week too, and I was dead proud of my girl. Well done to The Boy for looking so much more relaxed.
Love that action shot – he looks so happy!
He is such a cutie. Love 191
I LOVE the missed shot! Made me smile. The Wee One has been practising his football skills too and all I can say is that there is nothing harder to do than not laugh as he kicks the air and falls onto the ball he was trying to kick!
Glad to be back 🙂
a year makes a huge difference, not only in his tree climbing but in his confidence in general, its nice to see all the patient parenting paying off. Thats a huge big kick, I can miss a ball as well!!
Nice to see him having fun with his grandparents, they are an important part of a childs life and one my children missed out on as my ex-in laws were not interested in their only grandchildren
Loving the tree climbing – We've been doing the same this week
Lots of lovely smiles from The Boy this week 🙂 Elmer maths sounds great fun.. I might have to create something like that for mine as they'd love it too!
Aww he is just so cute and happy x
Love the Boy's pleased face for his assembly. SO different from the Harvest one.
He always seems so happy. I think the last photo is my favourite, it's the perfect Summer photo
