Last week on Thursday I took Edward to be weighed at the Dutch equivalent of the baby health clinic. Was given a 'Green Book' (don't know the Dutch title) which contains guidance on child care and which also contains dozens of pictures of unhappy looking children. It's amazing, there is not a single photo of a happy child in that book. As it is all in Dutch and as I have my fabulous mother and wonderful mother in law to draw upon I'm not going to read it.
The good thing about the baby health clinic is that I met another mother in Eemnes (Katy), who speaks English!! She is not Dutch, but Romanian, and is married to a Dutchman.
So this afternoon Edward and I went to Katy's house and Edward had a lovely play with Katy's daughter's toys.
The other highlight of today is that I fixed the Luxaflex blind in our bedroom. Funny how the little things tend to really annoy after a while. We've asked for the blind to be fixed ever since we moved in and it has become obvious that nothing was happening.
It only took 3 hours or so.... as I removed it from the window, took the top off, rethreaded strings through little holes, along guidance lines and through a hook thing etc. Feel very proud of myself.
Edward is teething. I think he has 5 (almost 6) teeth, but he won't let me have a good look in his mouth.
