Toddler diaries from last Autumn: illness season very much at hand: but toddler takes a step and I have an almond croissant #kidlit#kidlitArt#babyDiaries#toddlerDiaries#sketchbook#sketchbookDiaries#parentingComics#parenting#dailySketchbook#soloMum#soloMumByChoice#smbc#soloParent

Sketches of me having a cold, dumping the toddler on the childminder and working from home looking out at the pouring rain. In better news, baby takes a step and I watch strictly.
Sketch of chocolate and almond croissant, cup of tea, and book (the Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin). Caption: I still have a cold, but mum has taken S. out to the farm - hooray!
Sketches of baby vomiting repeatedly and chewing my breasts. I eventually manage to find a clean shirt and a bit of breakfast, we watch Twirlywoos, and baby is much happier in the afternoon
Sketches of doing nothing much, i.e. dreaming about Suella Braverman, putting toddler in a tree, making beautiful lasagne (baby is suspicious), letting baby play with gravel and cigarette butts to get us out of the house
