Hellooo, this is a bit early for me to be posting as not much has happened but thought I’d update as I have some time while little one is watching a movie and before I have to go pick up eldest from school.
All I can say is thank. god. it’s. Friday.
-OH woke up the kids at half 6 this morning on his way out the door and ofc they came for me. My alarm was set for 7.15, I could’ve done with that extra 45 minutes ngl.
-on the way back from dropping eldest at school I bumped into my auntie who was out walking her dogs. Had a brief chat during which little one wriggled out of my grip and ran out onto the main road. SEN parent reflexes kicked in and I got to him before he got hurt.
-we’ve been having a hard time with the school run because we live on a big main road at the top of a hill and he tries to abscond whenever we’re out and about. He hates holding hands but has absolutely no awareness of danger. Tried all sorts of reins etc but he refuses to walk wearing them and I really don’t have the time to mess around when I’m trying to get oldest son to school on time. LO’s been taking his frustrations out on me and attacked me several times, biting me and scratching my hands to bits, so I put his Spider-Man gloves on him this morning in an effort to spare them any more pain.
-came home, tidied up the mess from this morning and stuck on a load of washing while LO played on his trampoline outside. LO refused to eat his Dairylea Lunchables so I ate it while he had chicken goujons instead. Waste not want not.
-I finally ordered his birthday presents after weeks of struggling on what to get him. His birthday is on the 31st. We’ve got him one of those Tonie boxes I’ve seen advertised, a bunch of the tonies to go with it and some headphones. He loves a story so hopefully he’ll enjoy that. He’ll be in nursery most of the day on his birthday so will take a cake and sweets in for him to celebrate with his friends and we’ll take him and big brother to the Safari Park in Stirling the following weekend as a birthday treat.
I’m just enjoying the peace for now. Will probably update some more later if there’s anything to add.
Hope you’re all having a fab Friday
