Granny came today and the lad decided not to sleep. Boy was he tired by bedtime.

When we went to the dietician a couple of days ago Nathan was weighed. He's now 9.62kg (21lb 2oz) which is quite a good gain.

We went to Cintra park playgroup and Nathan was his new independant self, although he was a little tired. Dad got nominated as playgroup representative on the centre's committee, whatever that means.

When mum got home dad asked Nathan "say to mum dot com" (He'd said it earlier in the day because he was copying what dad said. Nathan said "Mum, dot com".

We were eating broccoli and the lad told us they were trees.

Hickory Dickory today was a special Christmas edition. We met in the church hall next to our usual room and sang all the songs we've been learning this past term.

Afterwards we went to the Thatcher's pub which has a children's play area with some friends from Hickory Dickory. Nathan had a great time. They all spent about half an hour putting small change into a games machine. That's the best part of these machines if you're two years old.

We went to toddler group today and Nathan had the best time he's ever had. He was off playing as soon as we arrived and, apart from the odd bump, had a great time throughout. So much so that dad could perform his new duties as toddler group treasurer without interruption, and even washed up the cups at the end (what a hero).
