Another good night. Tom didn't wake up until 5.30am, I managed to settle him and he didn't cry again until 6.30, when Matt went in and managed to settle him until I went in to collect him at 7am. He was wide awake, sitting up at the bottom of his cot, playing with some toys when I went in. Very cute.
Had a lovely play on the bed this morning before breakfast. Tom was especially happy and jolly which is always a joy to see. We put Tom down for his morning nap, then heard a strange noise that we hadn't heard before from his monitor. Matt went up to investigate and found Tom sitting in his cot with his Tom Plate from his Naming Day and china Mickey Mouse that Jude bought him in his hands. He must have stood up in his cot and reached onto the windowsill to get them! NAUGHTY BOY! He broke the Mickey Mouse (sorry Jude) but the plate was unscathed. Taught us a lesson - Tom is able to stand in his cot and will grab everything and break things as well.
Once he was awake again, Matt reorganised his room, putting it back how it originally was, with the cot alongside the wall rather than on top of the radiator. I hope he sleeps ok this way round, he's only ever slept well in its previous configuration. His carpet also got a good Vax as it has suffered a little on the vomit, wee and poo front.
Once everything was done we set off to go to a pub we went to a couple of years ago behind the Long Mynd. The roads there were very icy, it has snowed quite thickly in the hills, making the landscape absolutely gorgeous. Arrived just on opening time. Had lunch in front of a roaring fire (Tom charmed the landlady who came over for a play). We were then going to climb a hill to look over the snow covered hills, but the road up was far too icy and Matt wasn't happy with Tom on his back (don't blame him). Instead, we found another track which was flat, in the woods and followed a little stream. Was very scenic, Tom really enjoyed it - he looked like a Polar Bear in his new suit, he kept giggling - he really does love his new rucksack - I think we will get loads of use from it.
It took our bear a little while to calm down in the car on the way home, but he did eventually succumb to sleep and we even managed to get him into his cot on our arrival home for some more shut eye.
Well, we heard another strange noise over the monitor at about the time Tom was due to get up. Given what happened this morning, I thought it wise to investigate, went up and found the lad standing bolt upright holding the edge of his cot, with a look on his face that said "what are you staring at?". Needless to say, his cot mattress has now been changed to its lowest setting, which should keep him contained for a while I hope.
