Mothers Day

<--- Some of the pics and cards Lew got for his birthday

Well we hope you all had a great mothering sunday yesterday. All those mums who deserve a rest and some pampering probably didnt get much, but then who is mothering sunday for nowadays? The card shops and the supermarkets!!!! Tesco was packed on Saturday with men (and kids in tow) buying flowers and cards and toiletries to give to Mum on Sunday. Total madness. I bought 2 cards from Home Bargains (the BEST shop in Doncaster) for 49p each and gave them to James to get Samuel and Lew to write in! Thats all I needed, thank you very much! What a fabulous day Lew has had today! We got up late (10am whoops should have been at group at 10am!) and so Marie (Bluebell Wood) came to the house to help get us organised so we didnt miss all of the group at DRI! While I ran Lew's bath, Marie when up to get Lew, and I saw on the camera the biggest smile he gave her - it was awesome! And the morning continued full of beaming smiles! Marie gave Lew his bath while I got showered and dressed, and I spotted Lew smiling and laughing at Marie while he was in the bath! We went to group, but as we were late it took me 300 years to find somewhere to park. I ended up on Balmoral Road (about 15 minutes walk from childrens hospital) so we got to group just after 11am! I had a quick cup of tea and a rest, then went to have a cuppa with Karen, Craig and Heather. Lew did some sticking and then went on the computer with Lynda and Marie. He does LOVE that computer!

Me and my Daddy -->

Eden was in a very happy and cheeky mood, it was such a happy group, but Daniel was very very tired as he's just started sharing a room with his older brother and I think they have spent all weekend waking each other up so he was tired and a bit miserable! After group, we went to see Helen and Ernie. It was lovely to see them again, have a lovely cup of tea and a scrummy sarnie (me) while Lew watched CiTV! We had a good old gossip and Lew even sat on Helen's lap without getting upset, while I went to the loo! It worked the first time, but the second time when we were leaving and I wanted to put my shoes on, he had an RAS on Helen's lap and gave her quite a fright! What a mad day for weather, eh? Sunshine, rain, sunshine, snow?!! We popped in to see Denise, Maisie and Oliver on the way home from Helen's and had some more tea!!! More tired children there, but Lew still enjoyed watching them play and he especially enjoyed Maisie making faces at him! Again (all that tea) I needed the toilet again and Lew had an RAS on Denise's lap, but Denise is used to them by now! And Lew was very tired after a busy day. We came home, had a chill on the sofa for a bit then it was time for Lew's bed. And now its time for my bed too so I can make sure I get up early enough tomorrow not to be late for group!!! Have added 3 photos from last week. Me and Marie singing 'Wheels on the Bus' --> I emailed some of you last week about a postpal, Amelia P.
