Nostalgia

Aah! I am feeling all nostalgic! It's partly because we have discovered re-runs of Button Moon & Rainbow (which all 3 boys LOVE!) on one of the kids channels on Sky TV & partly because I took Timmy & Luke to a new toddler group today & they had some old toys there that I remember playing with as a child. Do you remember those Fisher Price record players with the plastic records that had raised bumps on them & when you put the needle arm on them & wound it up it played tunes? Well, there was one like it at the toddler group today- slightly modernised & in the shape of a CD player but in essence the same thing with the plastic discs with raised bumps on them. It took me back especially as the toddler group was in a church hall with that slightly dusty wooden floor feeling to it if you know what I mean! We had a great time there. The boys had fun playing with a large Farrari garage. Timmy has added Porsche to the list of cars he can recognise only he puts Mini in front of Porsche (which he pronounces Push!) so Porsche becomes MiniPush in Timmy's language (I am going to call it Timlish!). Anyway! Enough nostalgia now!

I thought you might like to see Jordan in his school uniform & some of the things he has brought home from school in the past week. The blue slips are accident reports & we seem to be getting a couple of those a week!!! Nothing serious- bumps, bruises & nose bleeds. I think we may have the whole accident book by the end of the year at this rate! Jordan is very brave when he gets hurt & is given a Star Award which gets put in a hat & a prize is given to the person who's Star Award gets pulled out of the hat in assembly every Friday. What with all Jordan's excellent work & accidents it will be amazing if he doesn't get a prize at some point!

Jordan is also learning French at school & doing very well which is great as he doesn't find speaking English that easy! By the way, he is doing really well at his Speech Therapy sessions too. He loves going & doing all the games & activities with the speech therapist Lydia.
And here are some piccies of those little twins playing with their beloved trains. Jordan came home from school & was amazed to see that we had built a track in the playroom. He said 'How did you manage to build the train track without me here to do it?'!!!!

The last things I heard from Timmy & Luke after I put them in bed tonight & shut their bedroom door was Timmy saying 'I want a sister' & Luke saying grumpily as the phone was ringing 'Quiet ringing phone!' & then moments later in a very sweet voice, 'Phone ringing Mummy!' Bless their little hearts!

Hope you are well. Night! ;o)
