Last night I slept in our spare room.
I say, "spare room" but it is actually Oscar's nursery. However as he is still sleeping in our room, we still think of it as a place to go when one of us needs a good night's sleep!
Tim has managed this on several occasions since Oscar was born, but with my oversupply issues it took me until last night to really get a chance to have a night's kip in there. I have just about managed to make my body go 6 hours without feeding him, however last night I tried going overnight (having given his last breastfeed at 7pm!) because I currently have tonsilitis and was in dire need of a good night's sleep.
So, daddy got up with Oscar for the middle of the night feed and made up a bottle for him so I could sleep through. And it was just what I needed.
However, this tale isn't what I meant to share with you. But it plays a part. Because it was by spending the night in Oscar's room that I realised I had yet to blog about the wonderful Woodland Alphabet my mum painted for Oscar.
I think I wrote briefly about the idea during my pregnancy. I wanted a series of paintings for his room that showed creatures found in the woodland that we could maybe look for when out on walks as he grows.
Well, my mum came up trumps and the picture at the top of the page is just the beginning.
I plan on writing various posts about this alphabet, sharing each painting individually. You may notice that on the sidear there is a new button ready to archive all the posts about it into a nice series you can follow.
So, come the new year I do hope you will pop by and follow along.
Thank you mum for making such a beautiful alphabet. I loved sleeping in there last night and Oscar always smiles so brightly when in his room!
