Weekend treats

I don’t allow Alby chocolate, cake, biscuits or crisps.  Yup, I’m a regular old Scrooge.  But this weekend has seen treats and they went down so well I’m going to try and make this a regular Saturday treat:  Yoo Moo for dessert and bubble bath before bed.

Alby loves frozen food – peas, sweetcorn, grapes, banana and so it’s no real surprise that Frozen Yoghurt courtesy of Yoo Moo would be enjoyed.  It was like the first time he ate solids; eyes closed, leaning into the spoon, smacking his lips and searching for more.  Only five spoonfuls given (I need feeding too after all) but a treat all the same.

I’ve always been very careful about what skincare products I use on Alby.  I’m not entirely sure why, I’m fairly relaxed about what Mark and I use, but with him I’ve kept an eye on organic brands and minimal ingredients lists.  Alby is usually washed with Oliva soap (ingredients: olive oil and water) and my posh MOP shampoo, but today we splashed out (literally) with Champneys bath essence.  Trouble Monkey was a little bit hesitant at first but soon got the hang of them quick enough (passing them through the taste and bashing test).

Toothy bubble fun

Despite the sugar he was asleep within 10 minutes and has been knocked out since.  Making this a treat for me as well as him!
