Thanks Paul, we’ve got one very active little one. We joke now that when he was born I said “we won’t need to baby proof the house for ages don’t stress so much about it” 7 months later... I just caught our child with trying to eat one of the appliance manuals, which were in the bottom drawer of the kitchen. Yep. Time to start securing EVERYTHING.

Hey Jackson,
sorry to hear you are unwell but wow, an exciting offer. Take your time and think about it, which i know you will.
So glad to hear you are managing your anxiety, I'm so happy and proud of you. You have so many great things going on in your life and you deserve them all. I'm so happy for you J.

Thanks CMF - I’m all better, massive sigh of relief for us all, only some much quarantining you can do on yourself in order to not get the rest of the house sick.
I sat on this decision for a few days, H and I talked it out and decided it was a no go. I’m already working full time, studying, and being a dad, I think it would be adding something into the mix that we don’t need, and time has to come from somewhere else right?? I’m already shaping and selling my boards at a rapid rate, but theres also not much pressure to do that because it’s just something I like to do, from our garage. A surfboard shaping business came up for a sale last week. Quite well known in the region, giving it a miss, not for me just yet.
H is out tonight on a much needed night away with a friend - so it’s boys club, which was all well and good until our little hyperactive child refused to go to sleep.
At the moment he won’t go to sleep until one of us is holding his hand through the cot, he is pretty good at going to sleep now but tonight I thought we got there, I think he’s asleep, time to let go and sneak out of the room, haha nope tricked me.

Jackson, Hi I drop by from time to time to see how you are going. I like the blue surfboard as it calms me.
I like honesty of your posts. It is hard making a decision when you get an amazing offer but you both have thought it through and made the decision you will be happy with.
I had to smile about delaying the need to babyproof your house. I have heard couples say when they are expecting their first that the baby wont change their lives!! People tell you like will change but until it happens you really have no idea.
That image of holing your sons hand through the cot is one you will remember when is much older .

Sounds like a wise decision. You re happy with what you're doing do roll with that I think.
Ah yes, I remember sleeping on a chair next to the for holding my son's hand. He tried to climb out a few times and fell, watch out for that! He will grow out of it, he won'twant you there holding his hand when he's 18 hehe 😉

The holding his hand this is quite nice I must say, some people will say don’t do it it’s a trap you’ll never get out of, well, he is a baby and he needs comfort, he will grow out of it.
Beautiful day - 27 here! We might head to the beach.
The baby proofing - we’re onto it. H just called on her way home and asked me what I think we needed so she can stop on the way through and I said get all of them... get all of the locks, if you think we don’t need it get it anyway.

Yeah, we just wanted to try it out, and now I feel bad because I was justifying our decision to H yesterday and assuring her we made the right choice but now she’s pretty set on it not being a good idea and we shouldn’t have done it. He was home by lunch time.
It’s nearly 9:30 and he’s only just gone to sleep, couldn’t keep him away from h, been super clingy all afternoon and didn’t want a bar of me at all, may have nothing to do with it but it has been a big day
In other news, I’m waiting to find out if I got a secondment in another department at work, found out who the other applicants were as they did interviews back to back so I saw someone waiting after me and someone leave before me, someone else in my team applied...
