We’ve had a bit of an unsettled week here. I think it’s mostly been because we’ve had visits from three of Toby’s grandparents in the last two weeks, I’ve been off work and there’s just been quite a lot going on and changed to Toby’s usual routine. Despite a few difficult nights, and a few grumpy days, we’ve also had a lot of fun and eaten a lot of cake which is never a bad thing!

On Saturday Barry wanted to go to the garden centre with his mum, and although we all enjoy a good trip to the garden centre Toby doesn’t have a huge tolerance for looking at plants! So we decided Barry would take his mum in the car and I would walk there with Toby in the buggy. It’s about a 45 minute walk so that would give them plenty of time to look at the plants before we got there to enjoy the cake. On the way though something very unexpected happened…Toby fell asleep in the buggy. I can’t remember the last time that happened. I think it must have been last summer some time. I couldn’t believe it. And not only did he fall asleep, he stayed asleep the whole time we were in the (very noisy) garden centre and only woke up when it was time to go home.

So this week’s Living Arrows photo is one capturing this very unusual moment. I have tons of pictures like this from when Toby was little but there hasn’t been one for a very long time, and who knows when we might get another!
