Phew..

Here are a few more photos of Matty from our Wales trip. It was quite nice driving around cos we managed to visit a few places which were a bit out of the way but tons of fun for him. He did lots of new things like....


... bottle feed some lambs. They could really guzzle their milk fast - a full 260ml milk bottle was emptied in a matter of 30 seconds! I was reminded of how M used to be just the opposite, especially when he was in the baby-stage, and was slightly jealous of how easy the ewes have it when it comes to feeding.


... carry and pet a guinea pig. It was quite a good natured one, and M was pretty gentle with it (apart from trying to poke its eyes once). L almost wanted to promise him one of his own until I hastily stopped him. The last thing I need is another small creature to take care of..


... ride on an old-fashioned steam engine. As you can imagine, this was most thrilling for him and he promptly named it Harvey after one of the engines in the Thomas universe. He had fun watching the puffs of steam, and the engine coupling & uncoupling. And kept on asking when we'd go on the train again.


Phew, no wonder he's all tired out. He was very good in the car, and was always quiet or asleep. Unfortunately, he had this habit of falling asleep 5 mins before we arrived at our destination, which was not so good. Had to do some prodding a few times to keep him awake so that he'd get a proper length nap.

So you see, that's why he enjoys holidays so much...
