We continue to have a good social life when mummy is not at work, and daddy and Jamie have a great time playing games and making up stories; not to mention when Granddad comes to play.
We have started Dramabugs on a Monday www.dramabugs.co.uk/ and there is a lovely mix of children there for Jamie to run around with. This week she is doing ‘Bear Hunt’ and has asked us all to take our teddy bears. Jamie still won’t let go of ‘Bear, Bear’..... What makes Mondays even better is that there is a wonderful park just next to the Hall and every week we have been for a play and a chat with other mummy’s and toddlers. There is a play train there and Jamie loves to take the wheel and shout ‘All Aboard’ and ‘Tickets please’.
The lady who runs Baby Signing (which Jamie loved!) www.babysigning.org.uk/ home is now running a Toddler Signing on a Tuesday afternoon. If I can get Jamie to have a sleep before we go, he really enjoys it. Unfortunately, he has been known to fall asleep under the crafts table! But Wendy is fantastic and he has made some brilliant things; including a Mr Cress head
We also continue to go to Story time at the library whenever it is on and recently they had the www.raptorfoundation.org.uk/ bring some owls in, which Jamie loved!
Jamie has been to a couple of birthday parties in the last month or so. The first being cousin Noah’s 2nd and then Emily D who was 3. Both were held at www.funfarm.co.uk/funfarm_lincoln.htm and meant that Jamie was lovely and sleepy both nights! We also managed to get invited to a girl’s party from Nursery who I am not sure even goes on the same day as him. I am still quite embarrassed about it, but Jamie had a great afternoon on the bouncy castle and he did know the twins and a few others!!
Another party he has recently been to is Auntie Anne’s 80th. Jamie and Alannah were the only two children there and Jamie spent most of the afternoon under the table; coming up every now and again for more crisps and chocolate cake! Luckily mummy had brought a few toys along so he wasn’t too bored!!
Nicola; who we met at ante natal classes, is due in a couple of weeks and as she has started her maternity leave we have visited for a few play dates with Will. We have also popped over to see Kerry and Elliot, and Jamie loves playing with all the girls’ toys! He also loved playing with their penny slot machine and said ‘pennies’ for days afterwards!! Elliot was christened a few weeks ago and Jamie loved running around with the girls and his cousin Alannah. He was the only boy surrounded by a sea of girls. As I wrote in Elliot’s card, soon the pair of them will be creating chaos between them!
And of course, whenever we can, we take Jamie out with mummy and daddy. Recently we went to www.woodsidefalconry.com/ which we are hoping to repeat when cousin Lucy comes in a few weeks.
As well as train journeys at the park, Jamie continues to love to cook; either properly with Nanna or at Nursery, or pretend with his kitchen and the one at Nursery, When I went to pick him up from Nursery yesterday he had a real cake to show me (which he then ate himself) and the girls were showing me what he had fed them in the afternoon; plates piled high with plastic food! He has recently taken on the guise of ‘Dr Jamie’ and last night when I had rather a bad back, Jamie bashed it with his plastic hammer to ‘make it better’.
Problems: I am sure Curly K would be worried if she knew about Jamie's bedtime habits. He still continues to fall asleep on our bed and to then be transported to his own bed, often for him to wake up in the night and find his way back into ours! On a couple of occasions recently I have got him to go to his own bed and have read him a story after which he has gone to sleep there, but this still continues to be the exception, rather than the rule!
We must also try harder with his washing routine and cleaning of his teeth, Daddy has been on lates this week which means Jamie has not had a bath since Sunday night!! I am not too worried about whether he is clean or not as he doesn’t really get too dirty; it’s more the idea of getting Jamie into a routine. Having said that, they always wash their hands at Toddler Signing before doing the crafts and Jamie will ask to wash his hands if he gets them messy when he has his tea! The only problem we have is that we often find some of the taps running at home where Jamie has turned them on himself and then wandered off!
