Daddy left work early and mummy arranged to go into work late so that they could see Jamie in his pre-school concert this morning.
Unfortunately, it was a bit of a wash out, as Jamie really did not want to do it, which meant mummy had to sit at the front with Jamie and the other children, while daddy sat on his own. After a few songs from the other children and nothing but tears from Jamie, he started to say (very) loudly "I want to go home." Mummy and Jamie went and sat in the nursery - which was less than pleasant as someone had just been sick - and waited til the concert was over. Daddy was left clapping at other peoples children.
Mummy didn't really want to leave Jamie at pre-school after that, but she said goodbye and went off to work. When she picked him up, Jamie was as happy as could be, so she need not have worried.
Just worried now that he isn't going to want to take part in the X factor when he is older!!

Cough in Pocket
Had to laugh this week, as one morning (as he was getting better) Jamie coughed into his hand and said "Put in my pocket". Then proceeded to put his hand (and his cough) into his pocket. Very funny!!
Jamie still loves his teddies
Perhaps he is 'soft' as they would have said in the old days, but Jamie still loves all his teddies and of course loves cuddling them. His favourite (at the moment) is Lion - who he calls Felix - who we got from Yorkshire Wildlife Park. Prior to that it was Polar Bear.
Of course Elephant and Bear-Bear both disappeared and he still talks about them. They have an elephant (the same) at Nursery who Jamie likes to cuddle when he is there.
Now that the Christmas box is down, all the Christmas teddies are out and Jamie loves collecting them from around the house and playing with them altogether. His favourite game is pretending Rudolph and Felix are pulling Santa on his sleigh. But his favourite game of all, is still to cuddle up in bed with mummy and daddy with a teddy or two, thumb in mout,h with someone reading him a story. This is mummy's (and probably daddy's) favourite game as well. We are truly lucky to have Jamie.

Poor Little Baby...
After all the excitement of Sundown, Jamie then came down with one of his colds. He was suffering a bit at Sundown but didn't want to leave. It was only because mummy had a cold back that we did. I am sure Jamie and daddy would have stayed there all night if I had let them!!
He was up most of Tuesday night with a cough and Wednesday morning I knew nursery would not take him as his cough sounded awful! As the day went on, he seemed to get worse.
Wednesday, Jamie never really got out of bed, and mummy spent most of the day reading in the bed next to him as he didn't like it if mummy left him. At night, mummy struggled to find much to do as Jamie then wanted the light off.
Daddy slept on the sofa due to the noise, but just after midnight mummy woke him up as Jamie was burning up and he seemed to have trouble breathing. His temperature was 38.5, so not overly serious, but after daddy reassured her that he was ok, mummy sat with a flannel on Jamie's forehead; which seemed to help.
All this meant that mummy had to apply for Carers Leave for Wednesday afternoon. Thursday, Nana came and sat with Jamie, rather than taking him back to hers, as it was so cold outside and Jamie was so sleepy. He just spent the afternoon on the sofa. On Friday, he was better, but still had the cough, so luckily Nana looked after him again and mummy managed to leave work early!!
On Saturday, Jamie had been invited to a party at "Noah from Nursery's" house. His cough was still pretty bad, so we decided not to send him for the sake of the other children. Noah's mum sent a text in the afternoon to say that in the end, Noah had been sick just after everyone arrived, and so that had kinda ended the party anyway!!
There's a lot of it about....

Santa Special 2012
Even with Jamie's cough, we couldn't miss the Santa Special this year; especially as cousin Noah and 'the girls' were there!!
We all wrapped up very warm, had three rides on the trains and had a nice cup of tea and a mince pie. And don't forget the visit to see Santa, and get a present! Wonderful!!

Santa at Sundown
I cannot recommend the Sundown Christmas experience highly enough.
Other than the wintry weather and the cold that Jamie is suffering with today, it was wonderful.

First School Trip
Monday, Jamie went on his first school trip. It was only across Hykeham from his nursery to Ling Moor School, but the nursery had hired a bus to take the 32 children, so it was all a big adventure. I asked Jamie if he had sat with Archie or Joseph (his two big pals) but he said he had sat next to Zoe on the bus.
Park had been invited by the school to attend their Nativity play. Jamie said he saw someone dressed as Santa and there were no reports of his screaming at 'someone dressed up'. In fact, I was told that he behaved very well and stayed seated throughout the play.
I think it helped that Jamie has visited the school a couple of times previously -as this is the school we have put at the top of our school choices for 2013.
