278. Waiting For The Penny To Drop (I am incredibly competitive when it comes to game playing, particularly games like Downfall and Connect 4. It takes every ounce of being a good mummy to let The Boy win, I was red and he was yellow; I was waiting for him to win here.)
279. New Comics (We both had new magazines to read after school today, mine was a Christmas one and his was Peppa Pig.)
280. Leaf It Alone (We broke open the airdry clay after school and set to make an Autumn craft after school. The Boy really enjoyed exploring the feel of the clay and I have a feeling it's going to be something that we will do again plenty of times.)
281. Wannabe Squirrel (We went to a nearby church grounds to try and find some acorns; no luck as the squirrels have had them all. The Boy decided to see if he could climb like the cheeky squirrels taunting us.)
282. Cheeky Grin (I love that face.)
283. Leftover (I spotted an uneaten Easter egg in the cupboard so let The Boy chomp down on half of it, reminded me of him scoffing his first ever Easter egg when he was 20 months old. Yes I made him wait until then; no chocolate before he was 1, which happened three months after his first Easter.)
284. Hanging Around (Today The Boy attended the first birthday party of one of his new school friends. It was a wonderful party and the mother was one of those that everyone aspires to be, but moreover it was great to see him bonding with a lovely bunch of boys who are clearly going to be good friends with him. I definitely made the right decision moving him. Oh, and he wants a tyre swing in the garden.)

Ooh that huge connect 4 looks lots of fun. Good mummy for letting him win. I always have to remind the hubby of this, he gets really competitive, against even a 3 year old! 🙂
Glad he's settling into the new school so well. He's certainly looking happy with his life this week.
Lovely photos as ever. I particularly love the cheeky grin.
Glad it's working out for him at your school.
Chocolate in the cupboard since April?! Is that even possible. The best thing about kids as they get older? You don't have to let them win. About time Drama Teen started taking pity on me in my old age
Love the picture of him scratching his head whilst playing connect 4. Can't believe you still had an easter egg left!
We did the same with no chocolate before aged 1! Must say, I was excited to see that egg! Love the photo of the boy in his jacket making a cheeky grin. Lovely! x
we still have 2 easter eggs left but its the cheap chocolate so i will use it up in some cooking! but dont tell the boys!!!
he looks very smart dressed for the party, I could not get Burton to wear jeans to the one he attended yesterday! and it is great that he has settled into his new school so well
love the cheeky grin x
Love that giant connect 4. I struggle to let Emmy win too lol
mmm easter egg lol. I want to play giant connect 4!!
I love those giant garden games, really must get one for next summer. I can't believe you found a leftover Easter egg in October – ours were all gone by May!! Great photos as always.
Sounds like a nice week. Love the tyre swing. No wonder he is demanding for it in garden. 🙂
wow at finding an Easter egg. I'm not sure one would have been forgotten about in this house.
A left over Easter egg – wow! That wouldn't happen in this house lol.
Love the giant Connect 4, such a fun game to share. #365
No way!! I've never seen a huge connect 4 like that!!
Love it, and downfall …Also, erhm, possibly a bit to competitive! They should totally make a more complicated version of downfall for the slightly older kids among us 🙂
Hope the boy enjoyed it, even with a competitive dad.
Love the cheeky grin! Giant connect 4 is great fun 🙂 so pleased to hear that he's settling in so well and that the school move was the right thing to do x
Competitive mum here too! Always frustrates me when they don't see they can win! 😉
I love those giant connect 4 games, I wish I could find a good one for Coombe Mill
Love that picture of The Boy concentrating – he looks so like you here! I bet he thought it was his birthday when you let him eat that whole easter egg lol!
The perspective makes that Connect 4 look huge. I'm like you, competitive at games. I think the OH will be the one to let N win!
Love Connect 4, especially a giant one! Lovely photos.
Lovely pictures. The giant connect 4 looks like so much fun x
I love the giant Connect 4! My kids are all really competitive and I'm not.. it drives me mad! We put a tyre swing on the tree in the garden this year.. possibly the best thing we've ever done as the kids love it!
He looks so grown up on the tyre swing photo!
So glad we aren't the only ones with Easter chocolate left…
I want a tyre swing too. What a super week. I have great aspirations for autumn crafts which have not been met with ideal timing. And we have some Easter catchup on the cards too. *sniffs around the cupboard…
Love the huge connect 4, and the Boy really does look happy this week – so glad he's settling in to the new school well 🙂
I think we still have Easter chocolate in the fridge somewhere too…
Gorgeous photos! x
I so want that Connect 4!
so glad he is settling at his new school and that your feeling better about the decision, he certainly looks like he is happy … although i have to say i always wanted t tyre swing too!
it will be quite a relief that he has settled well, makes it easier to say it was the right thing to do. It is hard to be a good mummy/grandma and let them win isn't it, I let Bob off with one mistake, any more and I beat him. His tongue is not so obvious in the concentration picture this time.
What an Easter egg left????? We need words.
Really like the air dry clay photo…it's like he doesn't know the camera is there and it's so natural
Loving that huge connect 4! My fav this week has to be the chocolate photo seeing as I am a chocolate addict lol
He does have a gorgeous smile!
