Saturday 5th January 2013

So, it comes to my weekend with the boys which is always exciting for me. It was meant to start on Friday night, but sadly my youngest James spent a lot of time in A&E where he decided to follow his big brother up the ladder of their bunk bed...the only problem is he got up but decided to fall down, resulting in having a stitch in his ear. So, subsequently my weekend started on Saturday. Both boys enjoyed their normal Saturday morning time with grandad, even if when it came to my time that they were hyped up on sugar from grandads sweets! William, loving anything kitchen and cooking got a utensil kit for Christmas, so we spent a while playing kitchen. It was great, although he kept 'making' coffee..this was fine, especially when he happily announced I had cream and sugar in mine..extravagant, down side he whispered that he put onions in it too! (I didn't have the heart to tell him that onion coffee isn't exactly a nice thing...thank god it was pretend) James, being car mad got his cars out and we played cars, it was fun, but we realised that we don't have a track (maybe we should make a town and track) The three of us did some drawing and colouring. William, as always, drew a wonderful story which he could competently tell us..with some real charm for drawing the shapes within things that he saw, incorporating the specific shapes within the story. James enjoyed it, even if trying to still manipulate the pencils. We spent an hour watching retro telly on CiTV where both quite enjoyed Fraggle rock. But during the second episode they both fell a sleep..(yay nap time!) Both waking at the same time, we decided dinner time was next. William is a fantastic helper, and as I said earlier, he loves cooking and kitchen stuff. We decided to make a lasagne from scratch, served with home made chips. William enjoys the ordering and telling me what to eo, ame kIle every good chef he enjoys the clearing and cleaning the mess daddy makes. He enjoyed mixing the meat and tomatoes, then adding the sauce and sprinkling the cheese on top (although the cheese monster kept stealing it and sharing it with the little monster) James, although not into making is definitely into the eating and happily scoffed it down. Both following with a yogurt. Will went upstairs with grandad and had a shower, whilst James enjoyed a nice bath with daddy, James particularly liked playing with his multicoloured bath ducks...even if he screamed at getting his hair washed (which child, or little boy, really enjoys getting his hair washed) The boys clean and now in their pj's, they sat up with daddy and daddy read Peter Pan. Bed time drinks a ready and all good for bed. Today seemed a little chaotic, and very tiring. With very little organised even if a lot done. Will try to make my time more organised. Still a lovely daddy day.
