JUST HOLD ON A SEC: February 2011

first sleep in a big bed

It nearly ended badly. but he managed to teeter on the edge til he woke up 2 hrs later. He hasnt wanted to sleep in the big bed since

After a slightly rough start to his first day at school and to celebrate getting through it we had Old Macdonalds for dinner. They were not serving icecream in any form - no milkshakes no sundays. So I had to break my ban and head over to Baskin Robbins for dessert. Vanilla Icecream with caramelised pecans and a rich Caramel Ribbon through it. mmmmmm. The seal is broken, I know the goodness that lies only about 200m down the road. I should have stayed strong

what you have all been waiting for

We did it, first day of school done. unexpectedly - there were tears from both Sebastian and me.

Just time for a little pick before we head off

so far so good. He likes his teacher, has made some friends and is learning at a great rate of knots. He is loving a website for maths homework and borrowing Asterix books from the library. He is living on thin air - barely touching his lunchbox and taking a long time to go to sleep at night -coming down from the adrenalin buzz. School is going to be fun

Hen House

Every so often the cheeky chickens try to come inside. We found one of them in the boys bedroom and once another one on the cupboard in the dining room. These chickens havent understood the ground rules. Their house is out the back and our house is inside. I have a suspicion that Carnaby has been talking to them and telling them we are soft and will give in and eventually they could be sleeping on a comfy double bed.
