He's such a lovely little fella...

There are days our little boy drives me nuts but there are days he melts my heart and today was a melting day...

At 1.30pm he asked: Can we go get Daisy from school now cos I love her soooooooo much, mum I love my sister, I love my mum, I love my dad, I love my brother (he doesnt have one but I didnt want to stop him spreading his love)!

We of course had his daily saying off: I need my Daddy, I want to cuddle my Daddy.

He is loving his new scooter and has mastered it very well other than the brake. I have tried to show him how to use it and now when he stops he says look mum I used my brake! What he actually does is use the tip of his shoes to slow down, then jumps off, stops, then puts his foot on the brake and announces he has used it. It's a pretty cute routine!!

At bedtme he decided that he would read us a bed time story, it went something on the lines off:
One day there was a little mummy, she was cooking potatoes, the machine broke down, that's a hoover! One day there was a little mummy and we went to the farm. One day there was a little mummy. The End
There was another couple of sentences but cannot remember the detail. He was so very proud of himself.

Daisy then shocked both Tim and I and took the book off Sam and read it cover to cover, we couldnt believe it and are very proud of our little girl. If you are wondering the book was called 'My mummy is fantastic'. So a big WELL DONE to Daisy as reading practice has not been going to well recently with her telling me she doesnt have to read to me as she reads in her head, I explained that I had to hear to make sure she could read the words and her reply was that I didn't read aloud when reading a book or magazine so why should she. I could see where she was coming from but I also could see that she thought she was getting out of reading practice with that one. It didnt work though.
