Quick update

Last Monday, Mini Mint and m'self went to our regular playgroup session - except this time it was in the park. We had to play musical instruments, (tambourines, maracas, drums etc) while marching round the pond, singing. In the rain. It was actually quite fun, and we went back to the Children's Centre afterwards to dry out. Mini Mint had his face painted, as (my favourite) a skull.

Tomorrow (Monday) sees us at ANOTHER park - (probably raining again) doing more of the same.

Fridays now see me attending a Jewellery Making taster course. There isn't a great deal of supplies, but it's still good - and it's getting me used to using the tools. I'm planning on enrolling at our local college for a 'proper' course starting in September. The bad thing is - I've spent A FORTUNE on beading supplies from ebay. I could tell 'im indoors that it's a symptom of my illness, (which, technically it is) but I don't think he'd buy it.

Mini Mint has started to walk. Only little bursts of a dozen steps or so - but he's nearly there. And he's also started to mimic whatever we say. His first PROPER word was 'book', while holding his 'Thomas the Tank Engine' book. That's a nice first word.
