First off, a little word cloud that was created with this blog so far; quite interesting to see how it changes over the next while.
Keith is just out with Haggs for a quiet drink. He texted me to ask what I thought of the name 'Jone' for a boy, it's a rugby player's (Jone Tawake) name. I looked it up and most of the baby name places say it's a girl's name; is Hebrew and means 'Gift From God'. I think that one is out! It's quite nice that he has started to think of names (although not pregnant yet sadly!) It shows that I am not the only one getting excited about the prospect of having another child. What I really want is for Phoenix and the new baby to be best of friends. You seem some families where the brothers and sisters get on and it's really nice. I get on with my sisters but I am not as close to them as I would like to be.
Just put on some music there; I haven't listened to music on the P.C. in ages down to one thing or another. Listening to Cyndi Lauper's version of 'Unchained Melody'.
Just remembers, Happy Easter! We've had a busy day - don't we always? We invited Nic, Laura and Emily; Frenchie and her brothers through for an Easter Egg Hunt, but it turned into a barbecue (Thanks Keith!) It was a lovely day just chatting and enjoying the kids. The weather wasn't as great compared the past few days we have been having but at least it was dry. I had the paddling pool set up outside with those plastic softplay balls; but brought it into living room before everyone arrived. The living room is a boom sight! Ah well, I will get it all tomorrow. Phoenix is filthing from playing outside, but he was too tired for a bath so will have to give him a good scrub in a shower tomorrow! I read 'The Lorax' to him tonight. We have a few Dr Suess books, and I borrowed this one from the library the other day. It has a really good message in it about protecting you're environment, especially since it was published in the 70's. I love Dr Suess books, positive with good morals, rhyming and enough nonsense to keep a child entertained. I really want to collect the lot. When I become a teacher, Dr Suess will be one I'll be reading to the children, and Roald Dahl. I feel the best gift you can give a child is the love of books. Although, I have a tendency to only read parenting, breastfeeding or recipe books at the minute. I will have to make the effort to read more for pleasure (although the previous topics mentioned are! LOL); but I am saying is more for entertainment. That will have to wait though; I have a Lance Armstrong biography that I am currently reading and after that I want to read either a biography of William Shakespeare or some of his plays. He was on Doctor Who yesterday - Phoenix really enjoyed it and so did I, although I was concerned that he would be frightened by the witches but he wasn't - and there was no nightmares last night so should be ok.
Phoenix thankfully only got two Easter eggs - we still have chocolate from Xmas!! I really don't give him a lot, but it's hard when he knows it's there. We gave Phoenix a bag of Raisin and Sultanas fruit bag from Asda - last of the big spenders! LOL. I also got some lil' chocolate eggs for the Easter egg hunt. It worked out that he only had one of those and one caramel chocolate bunny so didn't over indulge in chocolate.
We did over indulge in other things; like sausages, hamburgers, crisps, a gateaux cake and fizzy juice. Well I did, Phoenix ate moderately. And of course, he didn't have the fizzy juice! We rarely buy it in, only for guests, so my tummy is slightly unsettled at the minute due to the bubbles.
I'm heading off to make a cuppa' tea and have a scan throw my parenting forums.
Goodnight
