Hey Lara,

You love a good story with Daddy. The Ladybird one seems to be your favourite.

Enjoy.

Hey Bug,

Seems this particular garden bug, namely a bee, got frightened whilst you tried to rescue it was your padding pool and it stung you!

You were as badass as always, said it hurt but took it really well.

Your Dad proceeded to suck the poison from your finger. Not sure if he got any of it, or whether what he did helped.

I am just thankful you are not allergic, and glad this happened when we were both at home to look after you.

I gave you an ice cube to hold on your sting, and you just carried on eating your chocolate buttons and watching Paw Patrol. Double hard!

We love you our brave little bug!

Hey Bug,

You are seriously nailing everything at the moment, including your puzzles. So proud!

Hey Bug,

We have found a movie that you enjoy called Stickman. It’s an adventure of a stickman wanting to get home to his family. You love nothing more then cuddling up to me or you mummy and watching it before bed.

Love you Little Bug

Papa Bug

You’ve started to get freckles! Exciting times. Your skin has been like porcelline since you were born, little did we know you would get freckles, and so soon.

Freckles are awesome and make you unique.

You are such a beautiful girl! You have another one in your chest as well, but you giggled and ran away before I could get another photo. You were so good to sit for the first two, so I’ll let you off.

We see you lil Bug!

Lara is laying in a sunny patch in the dining room, looking very chill. Daddy calls over from the front room.

Daddy: “Lara, are you sunbathing?”

Lara: “No, I’m pooing!”

Classic.

Hey Lara Bug,

I took the decision to swap out your baby swing for your big girl swing. You love it!

At the moment, there is a pandemic called Coronavirus that has brought the world to a stop. Right now we are on lockdown, which means no one is allowed to leave their house unless you are shopping for food or medicine.

It’s quite scary, but we are protecting you.

We love you,

Hey Bug,

Ok, it’s time to say it. Out loud. Here goes. You’re a Daddy’s Girl.

You are usually near or on your Daddy. You push me away often saying “No! Daddy!”.

It breaks my heart when you push me away as I love you so much and just want to comfort you. But you prefer Daddy.

Occasionally on your way home from Lyndsey’s, you will ask Daddy to call me on my way home from work. It’s lovely to hear your voice. You’re very sweet and like to tell me about being in the car with Daddy and what you’re snacking on. Daddy also tells me you sometimes ask for me when you’re in the car.

I just want you to be happy, and if Daddy makes you happy, far be it for to get in the way of that.

I love you Lil Bug, and I will always be here for you whenever you need me.

Much love,

Mama x

Hey Lara,

Another big milestone is afoot. Potty training.

We put your first pair of knickers on you about 25 minutes ago and you hated it. You screamed! You sat on your bedroom floor, sobbing your little heart out. It was heart breaking. But we are here to support you.

We’ve all done it. We are here for you.

Much love,

Mama Bug x

Hey Bug,

You have recently started putting your own velcro shoes on, and your wellies.

We are so proud of your progress and achievements.

Love,
