Learning day by day

In in one!

William has an interesting way of eating scrambled eggs on toast. Spoon the egg onto slice of toast, bring toast towards mouth, tilt toast and suck egg off toast! Once all the egg has been eaten suck the life out of the toast leaving only the crusts. It seems to work for him.

William went for his taster (and Mummy filling out forms) stay and play at Goslings pre-school where he will spend two afternoons a week in September. After an initial show of shyness and sitting on my knee, he soon got bored, spotted a picture of Carys on the wall, got down to see and the decided to explore. Then it was nearly impossible to get him to leave, hopefully it will be the same come September when I drop him off. It was lovely to be back at Goslings, although he seems so little to be going, Carys was younger but seemed big at the time (maybe because William was only two months at the time). I was recognised when I walked through the door and not by Carys's keyworker but one of the leaders, which was surprising but lovely too as it is almost two years since I have been there.

From there it was on to Music Train to say goodbye to a number of little friends who won't be continuing in Sept for a variety of reasons. It was a good class finished off by a Teddy Bears picnic.

On to swimming where William gained his Duckling 3 badge after a bit of negotiation between him and his teacher about submerging. Teacher won and a slightly disgruntled W collected a badge and then home for a late lunch. After picking up Carys and all her work from her first year at school (tomorrow she is going into her new class with her new teacher) we headed to the library as we had no homework for once.

At the library we needed to get W a library card, replace C's card, register C for the reading Olympics and borrow some books. An easy task you would have thought, however William's tirdness kicked in and he went into overdrive, running around like a a wild child and climbing under and over things. This was compounded by slow service and the automated borrowing system disliking me intensely enough to get me to queue up to see a real person no less than three times! But never mind, Carys got her bronze stickers for telling the librarian all about Christmas in Enchantia and The Adventures of the Wishing Chair and we left the library in one piece/peace!

One day left at school, one full on Mummy and William day as I am not running tomorrow as I am doing the Race for Life on Sunday, not sure whether it will be the zoo or the soft play, but it will be fun.
