Giveaway reminder (and gratuitous kiddy shot)

Just a heads-up that I'll be drawing winners for my birthday giveaway today. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading the 'soapbox' comments and learning a little more about what people are passionate about. Still time to enter - you could score yourself a Mixtape subscription or one of two 'party bags' containing thrifted and handmade goodies. Please just make sure you are contactable via blog or email so I can let you know if you win!

And now for the gratuitous pics:

Last Friday, I 'celebrated' my birthday with 3am start to the day thanks to this fella, my little Charlie. One of the sweetest-natured kids by day, but a terror by night.

This Friday, I'm a different person. He's been sleeping at night ALL WEEK. Hallelujah! Thank you Charlie-B-Bear, little Pudding.

  2. Are you sure it was him? There is no way that little angel could be a terror at night!

  9. Hurray for good night's sleep! Our littlest one, Olivier, just had a period of wanting to drink about 5 times a night *shock*. I can tell you, that's not good for your creativity. Luckily, he just started sleeping better too. Maybe it's something in the air. Anyway, Charlie looks really cute! Do I see a little naughty twinkle in his eyes? ;-) Precious!

  12. I have the perfect solution (if he reverts) - just offer Charlie as part of your giveaway. Oh pick me , pick me (sadly no little boys at my place)

  13. Got to love some sweet gratuitous kiddlywink shots. But if that's a carrot then don't let your Maternal and Child Health nurse see. Back in 2003, I had an appointment with mine and the two year old was eating pieces of apple. Every appointment afterwards, whoever was on duty would open the file and start with: "I see you fed your child apple pieces. Apple pieces are choking hazards. You should make sure to grate the apple. Even if it just goes brown and slimy because your kid refuses to eat mush... etcetera".

  19. I read this and went, my gosh, must be the week for it, my recently turned 2yo DD has slept through for the past week, prior to that it was up to 15 times a night that I had to go in and resettle, and then all of a sudden, sleeping through, thought it was a fluke, and then it happened again, and again... now I'm enjoying it whilst it is happening :D
