Gosh, I have probably said this before but doesn't time fly?! I love the idea of blogging but it quickly falls of my radar and then months go by. Will try to do better as I am sure it helps to write down my thoughts.
As I type this morning my not so little boy now aged 5 yrs 8 months is happily playing Skylanders on the wii. I am on the laptop 'watching' although not as much as he would like :) I am going to drag him away in a few minutes to have a bath and get dressed. He has a dressing on his knee from a scooter accident (going to fast down a hill and not being able to stop - very scary) about a week and a half ago and it is time to have a look how it is getting on and give it a soak. He will not be impressed with this idea!
Today we are starting to decorate Mitchell's bedroom. I spend a large part of yesterday turning up his new curtains so they are ready and emptied out most of his toys. There is just the toy cupboard, the things on top of it, the bed, table, chair and a couple of things under the bed to move which shouldn't take to long. How can a small person accumulate so much stuff? The room looks huge now it is almost empty. The plan is to move the little bed into our room for a few nights while the transformation takes place. The first job once the room is empty bar the toy cupboard (which was mine as a child) is to get the stickers off his wall and get the dust sheets out so Jez can start on the ceiling (I hate painting ceilings). Me and Mitchell are going to start on the walls...
We also have the new bed (a white mid sleeper with drawers/shelves etc) to build... It will be pirate themed and no doubt he will love it, I can't wait for it to be done!
