Yesterday, I left my keys on the inside of the front door and shut the door potentially meaning we'd have to break in. Luckily Tob managed to push the key out from the outside with his key. I was also lucky in that both Children, our swimming stuff, food, nappies, my handbag and my mobile phone were on the outside. The only thing I missed was my hat and scarf. After swimming I bought a hat to cover my wet hair from the perishing cold wind.
After swimming, instead of taking Leon back home, I went back to Ellen and Dans to wait for Toby's return. We are so lucky to have both Ellen and Dan so close to us but more than that, they are so up for it and the boys have alot of fun round there. No money can buy the love and fun of loving grandparents. We are very blessed indeed.
I got 3 keys cut today and gave them one of them.
Today, they had Reuben for the afternoon so I could have the afternoon with just Leon, precious time we need together. I walked into town with Liz, Mike and Harriet. Well, Leon and Mike trailed ahead, Leon pushing his own little pushchair with upsydaisy in it and Liz and I walked with Harriet with her pushchair. Their paces are very different! Harriet chose to make a dignified journey by getting in the pushchair half way, Leon soldiered on running and screaming to a halt at every puddle on the way.
During music, the rain started to come down in buckets. Leon didn't have his usual sleep at 11am, choosing to play with his cars but once I wrapped him up in the pushchair, raincover on and we all headed out into the rain, he was fast asleep inside about 2 minutes. He woke up an hour or so later as we got home and went into a rage such like I've not seen for oh at least a day, because he'd been going on about going into town all morning to buy more cars and here we were back home and he'd missed town, the shops and any opportunity to buy cars (he wishes). I am to blame for this connection between town, shops and cars as our local Oxfam is a brilliant source of excellent dye cast cars, we have some great ones. It's always pot luck and we are more often than not lucky and they only cost a few pence most of the time. Trouble is, as he gets more understanding of things, or thinks he has, he expects a car like most kids expect a pack of chocolate buttons. They cost about the same but he gets the buttons too!
Toby is sleeping soundly in a hotel room in Copenhagen, I should go to bed and get some sleep, I dare say, Leon will be up early as usual.
Oh the video, yes this was taken on my mobile on Tuesday evening as Toby walked in the door at Ellen and Dan's with the news that the front door had been saved and we could get back into our house.
