Holiday Heaven

The recipe for a fantastic holiday: sunny weather everyday (tick); over indulging in great food and wine (tick); grandparents minding the kids (tick); Milly sleeping through the night (tick). Yep, our holiday in Coffs Harbour was just what we needed to recharge our batteries.

Henry had a great time jumping into the pool, over and over and over and over and over and over again. Milly enjoyed herself as much as a 7 month old can. She was happiest when given a piece of paper to rip apart. Her sleeping at night improved and she and Henry now officially share a bedroom after successfully doing so on holiday.

Other big news for those of you interested in children’s milestones – Henry did his first poo in the toilet and he celebrated by eating an ice cream.

Getting away

We are going on holiday next week. We’ll be travelling north to visit our parents but also to spend some quality time away with Henry and Milly. Before having kids I used to plan holidays in locations where we could have some adventure or do a lot of sightseeing. Now all I want is to holiday in a tropical resort, laying by a pool or on the beach with someone else responsible for the kids. This holiday won’t quite be like that, but I’m just happy to be getting out of Sydney.
