Samuel with Graffe

We no longer say the PB word (whisper *pooh bear*) here at Tea Towers as we’ve had to separate Sam from his favourite night time companion recently. Sam has had little PB since he was only a few months old but as he is annoyingly only “surface washable” we’ve not been able to keep him as clean as we would like.

So last week I sent Rich out with Sam to see if they could find a suitable washable alternative and Sam came home clutching his new friend Giraffe (or Graffe if you want Sam’s version). Giraffe was an instant hit in the shop, Sam carried him all the way home and hasn’t really been separated from him since. Giraffe also ‘talks’, Sam will hold him up to you and say in a low growily voice something like “hello mummy” which always makes me smile 🙂

So now the problem is going to be getting hold of Giraffe for long enough to give him a spin in the washing machine…

Happy New Year!

Samuel self portraitHappy New Year to all our Fuzzy Felt readers! Sorry that I was so bad at updating this blog last year, I’m going to try and post more regularly here in 2011 so be sure to keep checking back.

This year we are going to be selling Tea Towers and moving up to somewhere in Manchester (where we will rename our new home to Tea Towers). Because of this I’m going to try and catch up with all of my friends here so hopefully there will be lots of news and photos to share with you all.

Sam is as lovely as ever, he seems to be learning a new word every day and keeps coming up with new games to keep his mum and dad on their toes. Sam’s latest new skill is photography – the photo on the left is his first self portrait. After being shown how to aim the camera and push one of the buttons he was away and now I have about 40 close up photos of Sam as well as a number of photos of Thomas the tank engine, pooh bear, his new car and my foot.
