My baby boy was 3 on Thursday. This was also his first day at nursery. He's had a big week, and therefore I have also had a big week. He has been worried about going to nursery, we've had a few nightmares in the past 10 days, waking up scared of trains, giants etc etc but knowing the little man as I do I suspected the anticipation of nursery would be more worrying than the actual reality of it. I was right. I busied myself with a few bits of paperwork and he wandered off to play, when the time came for me to leave he seemed quite content and for a moment I considered just sneaking out, but it was his first day AND his birthday, I couldn't bring myself to just creep away without saying goodbye. So I went to where he was playing and asked for a kiss, he gave me a kiss, said goodbye and that was that!! I was very proud of him, and a little bit choked up, but mainly I'm excited for him, he's going to have so much fun there!
This weekend we had a little teaparty for his birthday, all the family came round to make a fuss of him. I made cupcakes, we ate lots and laughed lots. I love having the whole bunch round. We've only got a tiny place, but there's nothing nicer than it being filled with laughter. Nothing made us laugh more than the little man dressed as Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story!
Today the birthday boy has a runny nose and has seemed a little under the weather, lets hope its nothing that wont move on as quickly as it came! Don't want it ruining the week ahead for him, although I'm somewhat concerned he's going to expect present after coming home from nursery every time! Day two tomorrow, I'll keep you posted!
I have been going a little knit-loopy this past week. I found a gorgeous free pattern on Ravelry called Lacy Cabled Cell Phone Cozy and in three days I knitted three of them. I knitted one for my sister in law, then one for my friend before finally deciding I loved the pattern so much I wanted on for myself. The pattern is for magic loop, a technique I haven't attempted as yet so I converted it to knit flat and seamed it when I was done. Such a simple pattern but looks so good when its done.
