There’s been a bit of a virus going around – first JJ suffered and had the onset of a chesty cough, then it swept EJ up and he has been experiencing his first proper cold and cough which has been a bit of rude awakening (quite literally).
Poor EJ has not been his cheery, independent little self at all for the past week; lots of night time coughing and crying as well as clinginess during the day. Having said that his little explorer’s spirit remains irrepressible. This weekend he has:
done a bit of freewheeling
Slipped and slided
Tunnelled his way to freedom
Ascended the dizzy heights and:
created a new art installation for my Mum and Dad using just their perspex side table and his own body (dummy and muzzy optional, or not as the case may be!)
Exhausting? Completely. Entertaining? Undoubtedly! Silver linings and magic moments eh?

Oh gosh one of the kid in my son’s preschool has got chickenpox and im scared to death cuz I have this theory that my son is a virus magnet.
hopefully he wont get this one.
Your son is like a ball of energy! So nice to see he is better!

Ah thanks Merlinda! He does seem to have turned a corner today – all those activities were broken up by bouts of crying and clinginess believe it or not! X
Love the photo of him fitting in your side table – David Blaine in the making! #whatsthestory
Hm, good point – in training to be an illusionist! How cool I would love one of my sons to be an illusionist for a living (but only if it doesn’t involve any actual danger – no Houdini underwater stunts!)
Scarlet fever going the rounds local to us :-0 Genius pictures – both him for getting into those positions and you for snapping him in the tunnel and the box.
Camera always at the ready these days Denise!!
Reader always at the ready to receive these striking snaps too!

Looks like plenty of outdoor fun to bush aways the illnesses. #MagicMoments
It was Fiona! We visited Frimley Lodge Park, Bushy Park and Aldershot Park over the weekend plus a bit of time in the back garden!
That photo in the tunnel is brilliant, and so is the one in the side table (looks like he is stuck in an ice-cube!). He does have really red cheeks, bless him. Hope he gets better soon. x Mel
Ah thanks Mel – maybe he’s teething a bit too… He seems to have turned a corner now though – much happier during the day and sleeping better too touch wood! X
Oh wow I just love these photos. The tunnel is ace and the last one just cracks me up. They’re so funny aren’t they. So glad he’s a bit happier now. Lovely post, thank you so much for sharing with #whatsthestory
Thanks for your comments Charly – I think its a very nice compliment coming from such a good photographer!
Oh bless him, he is SO cute π Particularly loved the last photo of the clear box π Thank you for linking to Magic Moments x
Thanks Vicky – he is pretty cute isn’t he? π I’m still not quite sure why he felt so happy to be in training as a contortionist there! X
Lovely post and love the baby in the cube, what was his challenge? xx
Good question! What is the smallest space you can squeeze yourself into to avoid a nappy change??
