..and really we are remarkably lucky to be where we are with what we've got. It could have been so much worse. Here is a link to a charity-giving page for someone whose child was diagnosed with CDH but tragically his wife suffered a cardiac arrest whilst seven months pregnant and neither wife nor child survived. He is now raising money for CDH by competing\completing a number of events. The link is here (should go to a Virgin Money Giving Site) should you wish to support him.

Old news really... and even then nothing particularly exciting. Dylan is at home over the Summer and entertaining him is the name of the game. Although you can lead a boy to exciting things (lions! tigers!) and almost certainly he will revert to type and look for the trains (thankfully Whipsnade Zoo has such a thing).
We are working on the whole no-nappy thing and so far so good. Even at night. We've had a few mishaps over night but mostly.... A side effect of this is that we've gone from having a child who hated having no clothes on to one who will regularly strip off and run around naked for no apparent reason.
We're also generating the youngest ever goth (or emo in today's parlance) as he confidently stated that The Smith's song "There is a light that never goes out" was his absolute favourite. The fact that he'd only heard it that moment is neither here nor there. I'll start him on Sisters of Mercy next. Or maybe Bauhaus. On the plus side he's also agreed to buy me a bicycle on the proviso that I build him a climbing wall.
So if anyone has actually got this far, nothing really has happened whatsoever other than a small boy getting older. Hurrah!! And now for some obligatory photos!
