Together

We had friends staying at the weekend, and the seven of us (four adults, three children), all had tea together. Benjy sat on a booster seat at the table. As we all sat down, he looked around the table, grinned, giggled, and said, smiling, 'together'. He does this quite a lot - if he holds mine and Eddie's hands at the same time, or if he comes to sit between us, or if we all have a cuddle, there's the grin and the happy 'together'. Love it!

Brilliant weekend in Center Parcs






We spent a weekend at Center Parcs recently, with my parents. I'd been a couple of times as a child and loved it, so I was really excited to go back. We had the best time. Benjy was so much fun, I think he loves it when there are people around to play with all the time, and he loved being out in the forest (we were in Sherwood Forest) - there are so many activities at Center Parcs, but he was just happy finding pine cones, feeding ducks, looking out for squirrels, and generally having a run around wherever he felt like it (no cars allowed in Center Parcs). Eddie got a seat on the back of his bike for Benjy, which they both loved. Such a great break.
