The Balloon Fiesta and potty training






We went to the Bristol Balloon Fiesta Saturday morning with our friends, Eloise and Neels and their South African posse. The balloons start taking off at 6am so it means an early start but luckily(?) for us we hadn't really slept for one reason or another the previous night anyway. Alf was entranced by it all and enjoyed his jam sandwich and pain au chocolat while the rest of us ate bacon butties...everyone was BBQing.
Alfie started potty training on Monday and has done really well. We included a picture of our proud boy next to his potty to commemorate this event.How wonderful to use one diaper a day! I love it!!
There is an artistic close-up of Bert and Alf which Alf took and Alf at our dining table which we decided we didn't like and returned. We're waiting to find the right thing and using a plastic table for the time being but it does the job.
It's the 2nd consecutive beautiful day after weeks of rainy ones so we're planning a trip to the car boot after Mass.
Bump Josie is doing fine, kicking and punching with incredible force.
