Its been a long time

Since I last updated. Oops. I just never seem to have a minute these days......

Just a quick update of what has been going on.....

Archie has started nursery and goes every thursday. Today was his 5th time and the wee scone was trying so hard not to cry... God it breaks my heart to see him like this when I leave but I know that 10 mins later he is playing away. He has also really calmed down on the scratching and pulling hair. I went to see Julie and Jamie last week and poor Jamie is petrified of Archie but Archie was really well behaved and only bashed him over the head with a car. there was no hair pulling or scratching so hopefully this is him realising its naughty ( and probably to do witht he fact that he has came back from nursery with a bite and scratch so looks like someone is doing it to him and he doesnt like it )

I have eventually finished my christmas cards and it has taken me two ( yes i repeat 2 ) crops to do them !!!!!! I will take some photos as proof that I do actually do some crafting stuff although TBH I still enjoy the shopping part most at the moment.

Ahhhh christmas. Not long now. I have finished shopping for all archies pressies. He is getting a double easle with chalks, paints, crayons and pencils and loads of papers, an Iggle piggle that you press its belly and it makes several different sounds, loads of books ( think I went a bit mad with books but was always getting them when they had offers on them ) Noddy train, some bob the builder vehicles, some DVD's, a cars plate set and from santa he is getting a Ninky Nonk and an In the night garden book. Going to go shopping the end of November to get all of everyone elses crimbo pressies. Dont you just love shopping.

Archie gets pocket money from his grandpa so he had £42 for him saved up and I was going to get Archie the Moon in my room from ELC so asked Grandpa if he would get Archie it so they went off out yesterday and got him it. he just loves the moon and makes us take him outside morning and night to look for it. The moom in your room is fab. It goes through all the different phases of the moon and you can change it yourself or set it to manual and it glows like the real moon so its like a nightlight. We were supposed to be putting archie in his big boys bed last saturday but he hadnt been well so he is still in his cot but I thought that I could just leave the moon on in his room ( on the smallest phase ) and if he needs to get up during the night he wont trip up over anything once he is in his big boys bed.

He is also using the potty really well although as yet refuses to do a No2. He will quite happily do a wee and then gets really excited so once he does a no2 we will start potty training him.

Anyway off now to have a browse for glow in the dark stars as want to put them in archies stocking for crimbo.

lots of love
