Happy New Year everyone..... need to get my ass back in gear this side and I will so this is a cheating post to ease me back in....Nothing has been happening really in Sesameland we had a nice Christmas spent in my Royal County with my folks & family so got away with another year of not having to cook....go me! Would never compete with my Ma's homecooking...
This was the first year Babs had a bit of a clue what was happening....he had memorised word for word the ads from the TV for what he wanted and his sister wrote his list...when anyone asked is Santa coming and what is he bringing Babs would rhyme it all off:
"Rescue Pals Swim to me Puppy and a Pick and Mix Sweet Shop and somebody needs a tickle Mr Tickle and Elmo Live".....so of course Santa was going to bring all that and more...spoilt kids.....my whole focus was on him Christmas morning hoping for that look of amazement and surprise when he saw everything he wanted.......didn't happen....but he spent the whole day holding and tickling everyone with Mr Tickle so it was worth it....
Only took the Christmas tree down yesterday and he started screaming at me "Mammy what are you doing? what are you doing?" I explained that Christmas is over now until next year and we would put it up again then...so we had a mini meltdown because "I don't want Christmas to be over" and as I was taking the tree apart he started to try and put it back together.....got him settled easy enough and suggested he help me take it down and it worked.....
School was back on Wednesday and I was glad.....for the last week he was very unsettled at night time and couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.....so took a step back and remembered "the Iceberg" something I had learned on my Earlybird Course (which reminds me girls need coffee soon) and came to the conclusion that it was probably the whole out of routine and no school that was affecting him.....and it must have been because since Wednesday night not a peep.... Earlybird Rocks....
Sorry had hoped to put up some Crimbo pics but 'computer says no'...need to get that sorted....will catch up with everyone eventually and hope you all had a great Christmas and best wishes for 2009....
