"A portrait of my son, once a week, every week, in 2014."

F: tiger tiger.

Just as some weeks are quiet and slip by unnoticed, these last seven days have been long and hectic, with events punctuating the days and distorting time. Looking back over all my captured moments it's hard to choose one image to sum up the week. We have been in Bristol and London, I have been juggling work deadlines and childcare, family time and me time, as well as some steps to overcome my flight phobia. So this corner of the internet has taken a back seat while we've embraced the day to day. To make up for the silence I have some exciting posts this week, including: DIY Pom Pom Garland tutorial, weekend adventures, Kids Fashion and more Festival fun. 

The one constant theme of the last seven days is F's wild side, at the moment I'm finding my feet as he challenges me in the day to day. The normally chilled child is becoming very assertive in his own right and navigating this phase is trickier than I imagined, reminding me that motherhood is one big learning curve.

A GOOD BOOK // Mr Tiger Goes Wild

Occasionally the day to day can get on top of you, the same routine, the same places and all you want to do is break free and run wild. Just for one day. If you want to break free from boring take a look at this good book.

This weekend was full of blue skies, sunshine, adventure, people watching, tear streaked tiger faces, street party antics, hours at the park, heated words and of course Eurovision. F's sense of adventure is infectious and heart stopping in equal measure and I find myself uttering the words 'be careful' more and more. When I waddled around with my swollen belly I often wondered what type of mama I would be, but nothing quite prepared me for the anxiety I would harbour for this little boy. Will he be ok on that zip line/rock slide/table top? I look down at my baby and realise that he is growing up. Fast. 

My boy is wild, spirited and sometimes a tiger.
