Sorry I havent blogged in a couple of days, its been a bit hectic here :(

Jamie started playgroup on Tuesday, and it went as how I expected it to be. Jamie is, in essence, a mama's boy, it took him to the age of 16 months before he would stay with either sets of grandparents without screaming the roof off the house. It took him until 20 months before he allowed me to go to the bathroom on my own. Basically he was a child who thought the world would end if he couldnt see me.

Its taken him until 2yrs before I could go to church and leave him in the creche, most often than not I would have one of the church officers give me a nod and I would have to leave the pew and tiptoe across a church to get to my screaming child.

So, do I really need to paint a picture on how he reacted when I dropped him off for his first day at playgroup/nursery?

Yep, you got it, he screamed blue murder, and his teacher basically told me to make a run for it and she would deal with him, he has too, after all, get used to it.

Needless to say, I did what I was told (reluctantly) with a lurch in my stomach, I was sad that *I was* the one doing this, and I was sad that I would be at home with no children, only last week I waved goodbye to my daughter on her first day of 'big school'

Thankfully he was only in for an hour to break the kids in gently, but, when I returned an hour later, he was STILL Screaming. Then, to top it off, he refused to speak to me in the car on the way home, in fact, he refused to speak to me for at least an hour.

Yesterday he was in for 2hrs, and I dreaded it, but he ran off to play with...herm...dolls..cough... and not a peep out of him. My mother thinks because it was all new to him on his first day, on the second day he knew I was coming back for him.

Also, my CPS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) Has been playing up, I think its been the scrapping and designing I have been doing but also its been quite cold here and this is the start of my wrists playing up. My CPS doesnt only affect my wrists, it affects all the joints in my body, particularly my knees, ankles and lower back.

As for my competition, I am LOVING all the layouts I am seeing, seriously its going to be HARD to pick a winner but someone has to win this $10 Oscraps GC, and there is still time to get your entries in :)

Ok, I am off to bed now, and get ready to face anothe day!!

(((freehugs)))) to you all!!
