Today was the blonde kids family assembly, He played the pig who built a house of straw in the tale of the three little pigs….

How he loves the attention of being in the spotlight, He never forgot ANY of his lines and beamed and blew kisses to us sitting at the back once he’d finished…I cant imagine where he gets his love of attention from!!

Its back to work for me this afternoon after being laid up in bed (well lounging around the house) for the begining of the week due to this god damn bug, Not sure if i’m looking forward to going back but my bank manager would shout at me if i didn’t return, so I must force smile and endevour to look enthusiastic!

Last weekend was (even if it did end with me being ill) lovely. Friday night I went to stay at James’ but took Jordan with me. I was, not nervous, but a little apprehensive about how he would interact with everyone, He’d met them before so I knew he’d be fine but staying there was something new and I was a bit unsure how he would settle. I needn’t have worried he dived in head first and made friends with everyone and come bed time went down without complaint, well nearly without complaint there wa a small amount of sulking when i removed the micro-machines he’d smuggled into bed with him!

Saturday morning James mom Penny took meJordan and myself to Kingswinford Glass museum, to a bead fayre, We watch a demonstration on glass bead making it was very interesting. Jordan was very intrigued by it all as he and Penny had made some at her house the night before. Saturday night we went out for Dicko birthday, I really enjoyed myself even if I was more appehensive than I let about leaving Jordan with the babysitter…

…The babysitters being James parents, What was there to be nervous about?? Oh only that I’d only ever left him with members of MY family before and as much as I love James family I still felt funny about leaving him,

Again it was proved I was worrying for nothing, Jordan, by all accounts had a marvellous time, making beads from glass, Making boats from milk bottles, searching the house for toys from the James and his brothers youth and generally running Penny and Rob into the ground just being Jordan.

He enjoyed himself so much infact that last night he declared to my mom that he “would love to stay there again and if he could have another nan he would choose Penny.” To which my mom replied” I hope she’s not planning on putting me out of a job.”

I’m going to have to teach my son what TACT is!!
