Where have the last few weeks gone? It seems to have flown by,
but then so has this whole year! I have never know a year to pass so
quickly.
Obviously, having Amy in our lives has changed things
quite a lot and looking after a toddler again seems to take up all of my
time (that with the usual cooking, washing, cleaning, school runs etc)
I just don't seem to get any time at all these days. We also had the
craft room built this year which made things a bit chaotic. Apart from
that I have barely even seen anyone, visited much or well, done
anything!! But it is worth it because Amy is the perfect addition to
our little family. One thing though - no more, 3 children just about
push me to the limit work wise so we won't be having any more little
surprises heading our way!
Amy had her very first nativity last
week at pre-school and I was really looking forward to it. Mum and I
arrived and took our seats. I tested out my zoom lens to make sure it
was set properly before the children took to the stage. We were all
set. The children started coming out and we were ooooohing and
ahhhhhing at Mary and Joseph, the production was lovely and the children
were so cute. Amy, however, took one look and me and refused to take
to the stage - for the ENTIRE
performance!! It took me back a few years as this is exactly what
happened when Ben had his first Nativity in Nursery, at least this time
Amy came to sit with me on my seat, that time the teachers got
me to sit in the choir with Ben on my lap, I looked like some kind of
giant facing the audience with my screaming child!
I managed to
get a nice(ish) photo of Amy in her angel costume because the pre-school
kindly allowed me to take her home in it and return it the next day -
we went to Mum's and got a photo of her stood in front of Mum's tree.
She did look cute though!
