JUNE- July

Sports day! Wow, what an experience. I will never understand how schools can be allowed to have such oven areas when this country is all about health and safety...its feels at time. Well, first one has been cancelled due to weather conditions...(rain that is):)) while second sprts date was basically an open oven no shade or shelter from the burning sun at 9 in the morning....a very painfull experience for many. Still, Reuben seemed to enjoy it...not sure he knew what he was meant to do or that he actually enjoyed it but ...that is another matter. He did participate and I have to say his class were so very well prepared and came in holding hand made paper torches (in sign of the olympics) and were ever so cute. I give 10 out of 10 on that to the wonderful classroom teachers.

Reuben has had an interesting interest in football recently. Seems there are a few boys in his class who made sure R is well educated in Football even to the point that out of a blue literally he came home to tell us THAT he was now  CHELSEA supporter as they have the biggest cup in the whole wide world and they are the best ......WE DID GET IT IN THE END. none of us are particularly fantastic at football (although if he lived in Romania by now his uncles and cousins would have made him a footballer) but hey ho. I had signed him into a football club (no not chelsea) around the corner and he was only happy to oblige in going there. It was rather interesting.

 Ha:)) totally unaware of what he might need for his football....I stumbled over this nice blue Chelsea football kit in a charity shop on the highstreet which cost a total of £3.50 and was exactly his size....must have been divine providence as really don;t see how I would have ever got these should they have come new. Daddy got him his socks, sheenpads and now he has the right football shoes too....
To top it all up! He now is looking forward to his Bday also being a football party...

 We had also visited beautiful and very nice Swanley Park. I can only recommend it...to those of you with kids it is really good place. with plenty splashing to do, hydrobycicles and rowing boats and all.... Here he is enjoying a splash with lovley friend from church Chayne.

 And something we had done in June was lots of home time relaxing time family time stuff. Here we had just tried again to make mini cupcakes. They were so yummy but the truth is mummy is rubbish at making such stuff so they ate it but really they were not that good. I just don;t know why I cant make good cupcakes....

 We also went to Kent Life Museum one Friday afternoon and it was soooo good. We had enjoyed the place to ourselves pretty much. There were only two other families there and Zac had enjoyed himself soooo much too. I think now being older he really does understand and enjoy things more. It helps that reuben guides him and helps him along the way. In the picture is also Nicholas so far the boy who had the most impact on Reuben and I have a great deal to thank him....he is a well brought up, responsibe and very very lovley boy. I am so pleased they are so good friends. I have to say Reuben;s days are never good unless he has played with and seen his best friend Nicholas. Sometimes when he wakes he asks if he can go see Nicholas....I hope this friendship will be nice and strong for years to come....because it will make him a very healthy and happy content adult. Early childhood relationships are very very important but let me not take you there....now the mummy talk not the therapist talk...:))

 Finally my beautiful boy! I love this photo! He had a face painting at one of the bdays we attended but as he splashed around it got washed away. He is inteligent, very active and unbelievably amitious. He is gentle and rough and considerate and sometimes too daring....but I love him....I realise he will be 5 years old in two weeks time. It feels like so much more by the way...(many people ask me if I can believe he is 5 - no I feel I aged massivley and I feel old and shattered but I feel def 100% like a real mum ...no fakeness there:) I hope the next 5 years will be full of incredible stuff loads of successes and really much learning together....I am looking forwrad to give him a really good bday party with all the trimmings. So far he wants NINJA LEGO, we might treat him to a NINJA dress up suit, he also wants some LEGO CASE?!, a big boy stunt scooter (cause he keeps trying to do stunts on his current scooter), he also would like more chelsea stuff, some more wii games, ds games and well stuff for his room...which we are working on. I am also building him a library of books....and so far it looks really good. There will be a mixture of books that will have history, art, GEORGRAPHY (his favourite maps of countries and such) and learning about himself...this latter one will be a project we will do together. Think its all exciting....NEXT POST WILL BE AFTER THE BDAY!
