One of the mummies at the Children's Centre said that she had a swing going spare if anyone wanted it. I was first in line - though I wasn't really expecting much.
It's fab. Mini Mint loves it. Just the right size for him.
One of the mums at the Children's Centre (who, coincidentally I work with) had booked the Light Room for her two little 'uns for an hour after the coffee morning, she invited Mini Mint and m'self along... MM LOVED it. He was squeeling, and panting with joy.
We went to the Children's Centre again today - Mini Mint was slightly more happy, though he still got upset, and the staff at the creche had to come and get me from the meeting room.
At lunch time he sat with his new best friend, Kelly - and they shared some fruit and curry.
'im indoors and m'self are on an economy drive. Mostly because of my idiotic spending (see PJ post below for evidence).
I manned the cake stall at a FUN DAY at our Children's Centre today. HUNDREDS of cakes made and sold. Literally. They started off at 20p each, which is quite the bargain, and just so that I didn't have to 'do' anything with them at the end of the day, I gradually decreased the price to 10p, then 3 for 20p and finally 5 for 20p.
This photo was taken during an underwater photo shoot a couple of weeks ago - he looks so different underwater - almost like a little boy, rather than a baby.
The second photo:
Was taken by me, today, and shows Mini Mint swimming underwater, towards his daddy, with his instructor, Alison. He looks much happier - knowing that his daddy is smiling right in front of him.
I gave Mini Mint another try in the creche, once I'd calmed him down. But they had to come and get me again 10 minutes later. I was told I could take him with me to the coffee room.
After I brought him into the 'coffee room' , the staff said that I could let him play on teh soft play area, which was at the side of the room. HAPPY LITTLE BUNNY. In one way, I'm happy that he missed me - but in another I'm gutted that he didn't get to enjoy his time away from me.
I took Mini Mint to the Children's Centre for the first time. There was a mummy's coffee morning, and you could leave your little ones at the creche for an hour ro so. He seemed to love it - toddled off to his group of new friends, without sparing me a second look. 20 minutes later they called me back because he was inconsolable.
Some of y'all might know that I collect snow globes of 'places'. They must have a place name on. I thought it would be kind of cute to own these Nick and Nora PJs, with US State Snow Globes on - so I bought 'em, round about March.
We went to Chester Zoo yesterday, Mini Mint loved it - thought it was pretty, pigging hot. Half of the animals were in hiding.
