The deed is done! Josh has started chldcare!

Day 1- not a tear was shed!! Josh was delighted to see other boys he could play with. His comrades are Ewan and Harry. Ewan is a couple of months older than Josh, but is very similar in build -blond and blue eyed, whilst Harry is 2 and rather slighter, although seems ever such a gentle soul. When we said good bye to Lynn the child minder Josh blew her kisses. I can only interpret this as a good sign!

Day 2 Josh became a little upset at being transferred from one car seat immediately into another as Lynn met me to pick up Josh and continue on to the Whacky warehouse. Aside from this little outburst, Josh seems to be very happy with the new arrangements. Even Lynne says she can't believe how happy and content he is. So..so far so good!! but alas 'every dog has its day!!' Leaves me wondering when ours will be!!

little red boxes

who would have thought boxes could be sooo much fun. Marcel was right...best toy you can get a child is a box...Josh spends hours with his box...pushing it around...sitting in it, being pulled in it, putting his blocks on it or his car...so many concepts to be discovered through the aid of a box!!

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

Winter has arrived early as we hole up in our new house in the dales...there has been an incredible amount of snow this november in what they are calling Britain's BIG CHILL!! the last week has seen temepretatures drop to -3 degrees in the day, along with lots of lovely powdery snow!
I took Josh out in his car, which has conveniently converted to a snow mobile. He seemed to like the powder best of all, however we had a rapid deterioartion in the enjoyment factor once Josh got too much snow in his shoes, and rapidly aborted the snowmobile and snowfun, for the haven of the barn!
