The weaning post is coming along (halfway there) but something has happened today that is too pressing not to talk about. So today was an important day in moving forward.

I'd be back to take over as soon as I returned. Work hat off, mother hat on. We have no nursery but help from Grandparents while I went to work so it was full on. Then there was a third lockdown so we all worked from home: I had even less time to see people
