hi gal pals,

Update on me, Well.....

Anderson celebrated his 1st a few weeks ago, it went well, I only had family, as now that I live about 3 hrs from London, most people dont want to make the journey. He's now crawling very fast and even taking several steps on his own ( a little cautious like mummy). He also has 8 teeth and practices biting us to get a feel for them. We feed him a little of everything we have and he enjoys almost everything.

Christopher is learning with the challenges of Reception class, most of his class friends went to a different nursery together so I guess he feels a little left out. The boys out number the girls 2 to 1 and there is 18 in total, I think Chris prefers playing with girls for some reason, he used to have a few girlfriends at the nursery. Surprsingly he has lost 1 tooth already, His first baby tooth, and the one next to it is also slightly loose. He finds writing a challenge and is doing ok with the reading. He gets homework every night and on weekends which he doesnt like doing. He's at home on half term at the moment and enjoying his free time, It's his birthday in two weeks and he cant wait to get his hand on the pressies.

I'm doing ok, just trying to get to grips with the school run, which can be a little trying sometimes when Chris doesnt want to get ready. I'm getting that outcast feeling from the other parents in the playground. It's funny really, all the mums who walk to school stand together as do all the ones who drive. Unless you are known in the community they dont speak to you. Believe it or not 3 of the families live in my street and although I have tried smiling a few times they seem to take no notice. Funny thing is they all seem to know Christopher's name and say "Hi" to him. The school, well that is a long story, I dont think I got off on the right foot with them, maybe I'll post that on another thread.

That's it from me, well actually there is a whole lot more, but I dont think any of you guys would have the time or the patience to read it.

I look forward to reading your updates, I have been meaning to get back on here regularly but, it just never seems to happen.
