Singing time

The one must do in the week is the KBC playgroup. They have a great facility and heaps of stuff for little ones to do. It was my turn to hoover the floor afterward. I told Eden that he could stay with me or he could go and join in the singing time in the foyer. I don't think he listened as he stayed with me quite happily playing with things and when I finished and told him it was time to go he threw a wobbly and chanted "singing time singing time" all the way up the street and in the car. I ended up pulling over and asking him if he wanted to stay in the car or whether he wanted to sit on the footpath for a while and calm down because Caleb and I were sick of the screaming. He can calm down quite quickly when he wants to!

Meanwhile Caleb sat peacefully in his car seat - and had been doing so for most of the playgroup time and the hoovering afterward! Last week Caleb had a sleep in the pram during most of playgroup so that was even better. Someone else I know never really liked sleeping in their buggy.

Eden must have grown a couple of inches since December (when we were last at playgroup before a summer time break) because he can now reach the pedals on the tricycles at playgroup. He hasn't got the concept of steering yet so it can be comical but we'll get there I guess!

I remember last year he was very keen on the scooters and gave it a jolly good go for a wee chap. I mentioned to Duncan that he seemed quite surprisingly co-ordinated - to which he questioned whether he was his son...

Better go, junior junior is awake.
