Boy in a basket

Amazing the different uses for a washing basket!

Mitch does this thing at the moment where when he is lying on his play mat he reaches up to the little lion as if he wants to touch it, but just has his arms straight up and his little hands as fists. It's like he thinks the lion will come to him, as opposed to moving his hands and grabbing the lion. He's so close to being able to reach out and grab things, it's just so cute.

As much as I hate waking up in the morning, I love getting up to get Mitch out of his bed. He generally wakes up and chats to himself for a while and when you go in to get him he looks up at you and gets so excited and smiley and waves his little arms around and kicks his legs. It is gorgeous. The mornings are generally his best time, he is so happy and cuddly and playful and smiley. It makes it very hard to go to work.
