...but busy and tiring.
Actually we've taken to grabbing an hour's kip in the afternoon when the kids have their afternoon nap. It helps. Our Health Visitor, erm, visited for the first time today, she seems lovely, and seems to think J and M are fine - I was pleased she witnessed a minor J tantrum too though.

Yesterday I took M along to Lewisham Library for the "Baby Bounce" which was nice. She was a bit scared at first as about 30 under-twos started shaking rattles and singing songs led by two cheery deep voiced blokes, but she was soon giggling and rattling withthe best of them. I was one of 3 dads there, so that felt OK. I took her in the sling thing which means she protudes from my chest facing fowards and waving her arms in the air. She loves it. It also allows me to walk through Lewisham High Street as an insufferable New Dad.

At home I'm really enjoying the new Portishead LP, well perhaps not "enjoying" but "being fascinated by"...it is very good.

Tomorrow I have a day away from the kids as I go to Westcliffe-on-sea for the wedding of tycho_b and sham9, which promises to be a right blast. I'm leaving Ruth to cope solo. She'll deserve a big treat when I get back.
