Buddy

[GIFTED] - Whilst we're in lockdown, it seems like

Buddy encountered paint for the first time today 💓
It was really fun but so messy, thankfully we got the @crayola_uk washable paints so it was really easy to clean up! Buddy enjoyed himself and when it was time to pack away and give him a bath, he sobbed his little heart out 😭💓 It was lovely to see him getting actually involved, trying to figure out the paints, the brushes and the little sponges we have for him. We will definitely be doing this again soon and now his "artwork" is proudly on the fridge (I could cry, it's so cute)🙈 This afternoon we had a clear out/sort out/deep clean of the kitchen and living area. With everything going on, it seems like the perfect time to do all three. Despite us barely going out, I still want to make sure the house is as "clean and safe" as possible for us, especially for Buddy. Since he had pneumonia as a baby, I really worry about his lungs as it is, let alone with covid looming in the air. 🤯
We have just finished tea and now we're going to chill with Buddy before his bedtimd and then wash my hair (I'm on day 8🤣🤣🤣) with a bit of a pamper, I can't wait 💆🏻‍♀️. What are your plans? 💓

Thought I would check in... How are we all on this

Thought I would check in... How are we all on this rather sunny lockdown Monday? 💓

We've just got back from the doctor's with Buddy - he had his one year immunisations and wow, they were heart breaking 😭 he screamed the room down, tried to climb up me to get away and it's just made me so sad 😣 they're super important to have done though and that's what I kept telling myself during it! Budster Rhymes is now napping so hopefully he will be his happy little self when he wakes up 💓
Not gonna lie, I'm enjoying having Kayne at home, it's nice to have company and someone I feel safe with but I'm starting to feel myself slipping. I can't go to the gym and whilst the home workouts are good, I'm just not getting the same buzz. I can't go walking for miles and miles, which always massively clears my head, I just feel so restricted right now and I know that we're all in the same boat and I know we need to do this to help the current state of the world but it's hard y'know? I've seen people saying that we should stop complaining and "put up and shut up" but surely more now than ever, we need to have open conversations about our mental health? We need to check in on each other. Ask eachother how we're doing, how we're feeling - you get the drill. It's ok to still have a moan, it's ok to be sad that all foreseeable plans are cancelled, it's ok to feel like you're down in the dumps and it's totally ok to feel all the things you do. If you need to mute those words on social media just to get you through the day, do it. Don't ever feel bad for doing that, you have to be kind to yourself and put yourself first. 💓 I just keep telling myself that we're all in this together and there will be light at the end of this dark, uncertain and bumpy tunnel. Make sure you check in on friends and family, it's one of the few things we can do for eachother right now 💓 Stay safe everyone 💓

Day one of lockdown? Completed it mate. ✅
I'm sure when it gets to day 236262 I will feel A LOT differently 😂. Today we've just been in the garden and playing football. By we, I obviously mean Kayne and Buddy, I've been taking photos and videos of them. But it's so nice having Buddy walking around, kicking a ball and interacting like this 💓. We're currently on our fifth Disney film of the day (thanks Disney+) and it's Wreck It Ralph! Buddy hasn't taken his eyes off the screen since it started so if this becomes his film, I won't be mad about it ngl 🙈😂 I hope everyone's had a good day and as always, stay safe 💓 What have you guys done today? 💓

Getting photos of toddlers being cute that are als

Getting photos of toddlers being cute that are also insta worthy prove difficult. 😂

We had That's Not My Giraffe book thrown out of shot, That's Not My Puppy in the mouth several times (and about to go back in his mouth in this photo) the joys 😂 Buddy is really enjoying the That's Not My... Books (@usborne_books) it's really lovely to see him enjoying books, I think it's because of the sensory aspect to them, he's a touchy feely monkey and the bright colours too, they really draw him in 💓

Life is super overwhelming right now and we're all feeling it. With the latest government action, it's really sinking in for many now. I just hope all the businesses in my area survive this, living in a tourist town, we are about to start our busy season and for the next 6ish months, the town is usually thriving, businesses open all hours, people flocking to the coast for a family staycation, events galore... I just don't know how it's going to ride out and it's a scary time for us all but we've just got to try and remain "positive" or as positive as we can, it'll make the coming weeks/months more bearable I think. Tell me one positive thing or one thing you're planning on doing whilst the c word is going on 💓⬇️

Little walks with my little man 💓. Social media

Little walks with my little man 💓. Social media is VERY overwhelming right now and I know I'm not alone when I say that it is draining. I honestly thought it was one of those things that was blown out of proportion and would've been forgotten about in a couple weeks time but as the days have gone by, more and more things have happened - countries on lockdown, places shutting, urging people to work from home if possible... The list goes on. It's a bit of a worry how the supermarkets are going and it's an even bigger worry how the NHS will cope and how will the travel industry survive in all this. I worry for Buddy, will I be able to get all the supplies needed for him? Will his health be ok? I stress about him at the best of times when he gets a cold/cough because of pneumonia as a newborn so this is just adding to the pile now 🤯. I just hope that actions are taken and things put in place to protect as many of us as possible - in particular, the vulnerable, disabled, elderly and children. I just feel like a sitting duck (if that's even the right phrase) and it's got me on edge, just sitting waiting for something to happen, scrolling my social feeds and seeing the same stuff over and over and over again. It's exhausting. Can someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASEEEE share a positive thing that happened to them in the comments? 💓😂. On a more positive note for me... How cute does this photo look? Kayne snapped it when we went to look at my mum's new place just round the corner and Buddy has made my heart melt 😭💓 with his little vans, yellow coat and Hey Duggee reigns 😭. My mop is also getting done tomorrow after 10 months 🙄 Super excited to get a good cut, the blonde sorted out and some style put back into it 💓 oh and I have Kayne for the next two weeks - he has a shoulder injury so I'm playing nurse but he's here so 🤷🏻‍♀️, can't complain! 💓 So that's my little happy bubble. What about you guys? 💓

Still can't believe I have a one year old 😭💓

Still can't believe I have a one year old 😭💓 I cba to type anything else, I'm off to cry in a corner over my no-longer-baby-but-instead-toddler 😭💓

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY 💓 Our darling, you are on

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY 💓

Our darling, you are one today. Thank you for the most incredible year 💓 You constantly amaze me on a daily basis. You love Hey Duggee and In The Night Garden, you love cuddling on the rug with Belle, you love smiling at everyone and everything with the most infectious laugh, you have zero fear and you are so incredibly determined, it makes my heart burst. You've never acted like the typical baby but you'll always be our baby 💓
