Friday: Ethan's growing up!

Well, I dropped Ethan off at Preschool at 9am and he rushed in with monkey in one hand and blanket in the other. While I was talking to the teachers, he made for the outside fenced area and played with the other children. I was totally just forgotton. So I asked one of the teachers "Should I just go?" and she said "Sure, if you like." so I left. No goodbyes, no tears." I arrived home feeling a bit lost as I had a whole 2 and half hrs free. So checked email and set to tidying up the house. By 11:25am, the house was on its way to looking cleaner and tidier. Then, I was off to pick him up. As I entered the classroom, all the kids were outside playing. Once outside, I searched for Ethan's face but didn't see him. Walking in further, he was sat at the picnic table, to the side of the climbing frame. He seemed fine, just taking things in. Blanket on the ground Then he caught sight of me a burst into tears. I'd be lying if my heart didn't break for him. After a few cuddles, and a chat, he got excited and told me what he did "See saw" , "house" and what he ate for snack. "appo" "one" He was happy as could be and cheerful as he always is on the way to the car and back home. We had macaroni and cheese and hotdogs for lunch . MMM (I actually found a similar version of Kraft dinner in England! Amazing!!! Then he had a jump on his trampoline, we put nuts in the bird feeder and now we are going with daddy on a walk to mail a letter and hopefully see some fish, ducks and pheasants.

Had a good walk and came back for a nap.

Then he helped me make oaty choco chip cookies- flour was on his face, shirt, pants, floor, the counter top and the chair he was standing on but they were yummy.

Then we went for BBQ dinner at Mama and Papa Zee's - good food and soo much fun. Ethan got waterguns... Mwahahahaah! He loves it up there! Great weather today by the way considering it was pouring sheets of rain on Tuesday and hailing!!! Hailing! In June!!!
