And another week comes to an end ...

We have had a great, albeit wet week. Wellington has 'cried' now for 5 solid days .... rain, rain and more rain. The best part of any school day for Josh is, in his words, playtime so he is always sad when the wet weather curtails his outdoor activities. However, we have tried to balance the week with various play dates and activities.

Today we had gorgeous Georgia over for a play date and after cookies & chippies, Josh, Georgia & Mummy sat down to play Junior Monopoly - I have decided that Josh has the markings of quite the capitalist, buying up houses left, right and centre ! Georgia and I were quite relieved when we had to finish the game early to take her home and then head to the railway station to pick up Nancy.

Nancy is the mother of a girlfriend of Mummy's and we hadn't seen each other for about 18 years. What a gorgeous woman Nancy is .... she took such an interest in Josh, so much so that he sat on her knee and read her his storybook tonight ! Nancy used to be a school teacher and doesn't just have the 'know-how' and wisdom with children, it is so gorgeous to see her grandmotherly way with them - Mummy felt quite emotional seeing the lovely way Nancy had with Josh. She is quite a special lady. Mummy is truly delighted to have 're-connected' with Nancy and we have agreed to keep in touch.

And then time tonight for a session on the computer with Daddy doing his 'earobics' tape from Sara. Josh tried so hard tonight, he was a little champ, and we had a huge break-through with rhyming - Mummy could have danced around the floor !

We finished the evening with a bath - by candlelight - how special is that?!?!
