The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for some time now. Russians are invading the country, a square meter at a time, shredding it to bite-size bits as they go. By the time you get to read this, there’ll probably be a movie or two about it. The desolation portrayed by the media is only a quarter of the story I’m sure. The situation on the ground is probably worse.

Liza was introduced (by her friend Yana) to a lady whose home and fitness centre was bombed down to ashes. She’s now homeless and without her business. Your mother’s been supporting her by taking a stretching class every Saturday morning. Today is the third one I believe. I think it’s a great way to empower another human without a handout. Kudos to her.

She’s currently in the studio unpacking your tommee tippee. I’ve got a clear line of sight at my eight o’clock where she’s got her face buried in a manual, sitting on the green sofabed. I’m leaving her to it. She just chuckled and said, “someone said on YouTube that this is like an espresso machine for babies”. That’s hilarious because it’s so accurate.

I’ve been busy fiddling with your baby cam. It’s all set up. I just purchased a camera holder that’ll let me mount it to your crib. That’s due to arrive tomorrow. Hopefully, it does the job.
The footage of all the silly things you’ll be doing is going to be priceless. I’m looking forward to that, in between all the crying and screaming. You should know right off the bat, that we don’t plan to pick you up every time you yell. At least I don’t. I’ll encourage your mother to do the same.
