The View From Here…

Our days are a pink, peach-fuzz and powder-scented haze of feeding, sleeping and newborn cuddles thanks to this little bundle of joy. Weighing 4.2kg/ 9lb 4 oz and 56 centimetres long, little sister is healthy, big sister is completely smitten and Mum is loved up, tired and over-emotional, just as the mum of a newborn should be! After much debate, we have made the decision not to use the baby’s name on the blog, she will be known here as AJ.

I hope the view where you are looks just as sweet today!

Christie Burnett is a teacher, presenter, writer and the mother of two. She created Childhood 101 as a place for teachers and parents to access engaging, high quality learning ideas.
