Yo - HoHo!

Well, Christmas managed to fly by pretty darn fast once again!

I've sprent far too much time over the last few days putting together toys for my eldest son. Normally I'd be quite pleased to be playing with his toys, but when you spend hours and hours piecing together hundreds of tiny pieces whilst your chilld is getting so keen to play with the new to that he starts to do so whilst your in mid-build, well, that ain't fun!

As I write this it's around 11.40pm on Christmas Eve.

I was gonna write a big long meaningful Christmas speech, but, as I need my sleep I'll keep it simple.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

Father Christmas not allowed to say HO HO HO...???

Champion skater

A speedy recovery from yesterday's pukiness(?) was completed today as Luke took to the ice rink for the first time.

After a couple of falls and the eventually escaping from of his mum (who held on to the rail for dear life with one hand and clutched his hand with the other) he zipped around the ice with ease. Whoever invented skates with 2 blades is a genius. It's a shame they don't come in adult sizes otherwise I'd be tempted to have a go myself.

Of course, he and his little friends figured out that ice shavings make good snowballs too!

From nowhere...

Just before dinner Luke mentioned he had a headache "all over."

Seconds after sitting down at the table he was spewing chunks like there was no tomorrow. Talk about "complements to the chef!" I could understand it if it was my cooking but we were at my Mum's and her cooking's great!

The little really wanted to eat his dinner straight afterwards because he knew that there was a chance ice-skating would be cancelled tomorrow if he was poorly but I think he knew it wasn't wise to try.

I'm a dummy!

Yup! It's official!

Ben has been using my fingers as replica dummies all week, and earlier today the little blighter not only had the small finger on my right hand in his mouth, he was also clutching the little pinkie on my left hand too. So, unless I wanted to disturb him (results in crying...) I needed to stay still for absolutely ages! Well, about 5 minutes before his personal vending machine (his Mummy) came in to the room to rescue me.
