Four



He was our first. A bonny - and ever so cuddly - baby. Argy was born this day four years ago.

As part of the birthday festivities (which when you are 4, apparently extend for approximately 11 months), there is a handmade gift. Kiddo here has been made from Jodie's terrific Kinder Boys pattern.

Kiddo remains nameless at present. The name Mr Manny has been touted, but there is the real possibility he will be named after an engine.

Like most small boys, Kiddo is parading unashamedly in his undies. At least they're not on his head. I have given him a towel to wear until Argy and I choose some fabric for clothes. Fashion parade to follow.

  3. Happy Birthday to Argy!

    And a happy birthday to Kiddo as well. Such a lovely new toy for Argy. Boys really do need soft toys to play with, what a good choice!
