My dear Noah, Happy 2nd birthday, baby boy. Well, you’re not such a baby any more, but rather, well, a proper little boy. You were our rainbow after the storm. You lit up our lives once again; that is, Mummy, Daddy, and your brother of course.

These treats made with Creme Eggs have been doing the rounds for years now, but I’ve never actually bought one as I’ve always made my own. They are easier than you might think!
I have mentioned recently that we have had sleep issues with both boys. We made some changes to Noah’s routine, so it was different to Jacob’s (where we had the most problems). He does seem to be better at bedtime, though sometimes he can be a proper little monkey (like a few nights ago when he headbutted me in the mouth – ouch). In order to try and improve this some more, a few weeks ago we added a new bedtime story to his routine – The Rabbit Who Wants To Fall Asleep.
This is the year that I find myself organising the fourth birthday party in a row, only this time it will be a joint one for the boys. It will be Jacob’s 4th, and Noah’s 2nd. As we are now living in a house with plenty of outdoor space, I wanted to make this birthday special for the boys and have a party with a bouncy castle! (Though I’m not sure whether that’s for the adults or children)…
After my weigh in last week and the gain I had, I was very much determined to have a decent loss this week as I was so annoyed that I still hadn’t lost my Christmas weight and felt like I was going backward. This week was the first in goodness knows how long – probably since last year – that I have been on plan AND within my syns for the whole week.
