Lock every cupboard, close every door, move any liquids, powders, grains and whatsnots from the floor that are slightly edible, Hoover three times a day (Jeez), and mop the floor four times a day and never, never drop your guard.
Yes - that's right - my baby is now crawling like there's no tomorrow! He suddenly just realised what had to be done from months of shuffling and comado crawling. We got home from Sweden on the Sunday, I put him down on the floor and off he went - Amazing!
It's great to have him finally moving around, albeit dangerous as everything is a hazard!
But he didn't stop there. No, two days after he had sussed the crawling malarky he decided to upgrade is now crusing around the flat. He pulls himself up, walks around the first sofa, one to the next sofa by the window, then the table - round and round in a circle and he seems utterly content with himself.
It's absolutely amazing when you see your child progress and I'm very excited to see what's next.
The BAFTA's on Sunday - I'm SO excited! Not only is my dear friend P and C coming on Friday to stay, but we have a baby sitter OVERNIGHT (check us out) which means I will have my first full night of sleep in about a year!! AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
Then again, I am going to the BAFTA's and intend to party all night long! So maybe there won't be time for any sleep after all? I can't wait to see all the celebs, so exciting! I love, love, love the awards!
Then daddy arrives on Monday which is fab. He's been looking forward to seeing Jackson so it's going to be really nice having him here. I'm planning to go into London and do some shopping, (albeit window - shopping), and maybe see some sights. Depends what dad would like to do actually, must remember to ask him today!

Back in the UK
We arrived back home on Sunday and it was lovely to see B again. Both J and I have missed him lots and lots and so it was wonderful to spend a whole day, just the three of us.
I had such an amazing time with my family. It was really lovely to just hang out with everyone and it's great with such a supportive lot! We had a family gathering on the Sunday after we arrived, and J was overjoyed to see everyone. He was on his best behaviour and, as always, stole all the lime light from mummy. (His parents are actors after all!).
He's not been so well but he was soldiering on and obviously mormor and morfar fussed over him!
We made some lovely pizzas (home made pizzas- so much better aren't they?!) and ate too much nice things, as per usual.
For the rest of the week I tried to re charge my batteries. It's so amazing to have mum around. She's naturally so used to taking care of J and he LOOOOOVES her. It's so funny to watch them, they truly have that special bond... Perhaps it's because she took care of him for so long, I don't know, but it's great to watch them. Anyhow, it gave me a welcomed break! I even managed to get some writing done, something I was mega chuffed about.
Mum will come over to see us in March, and I couldn't be happier. It was incredibly hard to leave after a great week together and she was so upset. I hate the leaving part, always have, always will but at the moment England is my home.
I also had time to go to the cinema which was such a treat - thank you dear niece!
We had a Birthday Party for the kids (and Al) on the Saturday where I learned how to play a new card game - I'm so so so hooked!
My sister, God bless her, was coaching me and somehow managed to pull me out of the depths of gloom and doom. She reminded me of who I am - something that recent events had overshadowed. She truly is an amazing person and I say this again - YOU should be a Motivational Coach.
"You were born under a lucky star..." Those are the exact words on one of those cards you get from a wishing machine at fairgrounds. (Like the one in "Big"). I randomly got it at a fairground in Illinois ages ago.
I need to remind myself of that and everything will fall into place. I guess it can be easy to lose track though and that's when your loved ones step in and help you find your way back....
Weirdly - I met a woman on the flight home that works as Motivational Speaker. She was amazing, one of those "go get!" women with a will of steel. We spent the whole journey (J fell asleep!!) talking about life and how to get motivated, staying focused and keep fighting... Hm... Thinking back it was odd that she chose to help me, sit next to me for the duration of the flight, and talk about how to get back on track? Perhaps Cosmos is trying to tell me something?
So, things are going to change around here. For the better!!
