Like is hurtling past at a break neck speed at the moment. Mummy started a new job on Jamie's birthday which is an hour and a half less than her previous job a week. This actually means that she has Wednesday morning to herself now and can concentrate on getting some 'me' time. So far this hasn't always gone as planned but it does give mummy a 'catch up' morning at least.
Jamie continues to grow and amaze us. Although potty training and sleeping in his own bed are two goals we need to crack they both seem on the horizon at the moment. At the same time we aren't too stressed about them. I must admit to liking him in my bed - especially when Dale is on lates. The only real trouble is when we are all in bed together and Jamie starts kicking!!
As for the toilet training, we have eased off this week after a bit of a trauma. Jamie seems to be actually frightened of the toilet. He has said he has a fear of falling into the toilet, so we thought we would leave it a few days before trying again.
I continue to make a conscious effort to socialise with Jamie whenever I can. We still see Nicola and Will most Mondays and, although Nicola goes back to work this week, she won't be working a Monday until funding comes through for the pre-school places in September, so we have pencilled in a few outings in the next few weeks.
Although Wendy decided to stop Toddler Signing we had organised a series of play dates at her house. Unfortunately, after just one date (with Erin, Evie, Caroline) Wendy has decided that she does not have enough time to have another one. I did organise a play date a few weeks ago for everyone but it had to be cancelled due to the rain. I am hoping to organise another one for the end of May.
As the weather (slowly) gets better we have been able to go out a bit more. Daddy often takes Jamie to Grandads allotment - which he loves. On the bank holiday weekend we went for a long(ish) walk up to South Hykeham and Jamie rode along on his bike. This lasted about half way before he wanted carrying! But it was nice to look around the church and have a burger and also get a chance to have a quick look at South Hykeham Primary School. We have also been to the North Scarle trains. Kerry met us with the girls so Jamie was in his element. Daddy took the 3 of them on the trains a number of times which gave me and Kerry a chance to look around the car boot stalls!
We have also managed to take Jamie swimming a couple of times in the last month. He still isn't the best swimmer but at least he loves the water and doesn't hang on to me and daddy as tightly as he used to!
