Being self-indulgent
You remember only 2 days ago I was going on about buying wool to make soaker pants? Well, today I did a bad, bad thing – I was in town, so I nipped into Robert Sayle (John Lewis partnership shop) and bought three balls of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino – they are absolutely gorgeous – I may end up just cuddling them – it feels wrong to use it to cover nappies!
Adam’s not had a good day today – he started at “big nursery” on Monday (for children aged 3 by the beginning of Sept) – and took to it without turning a hair until this morning, when he burst into tears and didn’t want me to leave him. He was OK by the time I left (he was on a fire-engine hunt with the teaching assistant 
), but apparently cried again at 11:30 when some of the mothers came to collect their children. He was a bit fragile after I picked him up – although he’s a drama queen at the best of times – but he had fun at the playground with our next-door neighbour’s child. Then at bedtime he started crying because: a) his bed was too cold (it’s sweltering in there, and he’s wearing bedsocks (don’t ask)) b) he heard a bad noise (he was woken by a particularly loud crash of thunder the other morning) c) someone or something bad might get in his room. Eventually I left him with the happy image of having icecream at a picnic, sitting on a fire-engine with his imaginary friend Josh. Poor love though, I hate it when life gets him this hard. I know he’ll be fine, starting at big nursery was bound to be a big change for him (even though it’s in exactly the same room as “little nursery” where he was last year), and he’s a bit anxious about John starting to go out to work. (“Daddy, me will miss you.” )
I’m off to watch last night’s Lost!
two comments:
aww. That thunder was fun – but also very scary! I was in church last night doing organ and there was a massive crash – discover at choir that the piano is covered in dust and some water which has fallen from the roof. This isn’t the first time this has happened :S.Fire engins and picnics … sounds good!
PS. You may noticed I have own blog now :P and are free from irritating school people at last! Still need to sort the joint one though – when I manage to create time.

Oops, hadn’t realised you lived in Cambridge! I was in Robert Sayle’s on Friday afternoon (just when the heavens opened!). Have you tried the Sew Creative (?) shop. Think it’s on King’s Lane (?, it’s not far from the back entrance to Westcott House). I, er, skived two conference visits on Friday afternoon to go yarn shopping instead!Daisy () (link) - 11 September '05 - 11:58
