School holidays

Dearest B,

School holidays are over and you are back in the routine of school. I am glad but also a little sad. Despite my initial anxiety about the holidays I really enjoyed it.

I tired really hard to make your holidays fun and full of entertainment. It was a bit nerve racking at first, I was worried about how I would entertain you. The list that I wrote myself helped. It contained a myriad of ideas, outings, and activities for us all to do.

Daddy by B.

I'm guessing that some of the highlights for you where:

Kids choice day - you got to choose what we did till dinner time. You chose going to the ball room at Ikea, lunch with Daddy, playing in the sandpit making sand bricks, and watching Scrapheap Challenge.

Making Pasta - this was exceptionally messy, flour went everywhere, but you adore the pasta machine.

Waterfall - we walked in the pouring rain to Morialta waterfall. We all got sopping wet you loved holding the umbrella. This was Grandma's crazy idea.

Being Crafty - we kept the recycling for a week and you made some awesome stuff, a birds nesting box, an elephant, a remote control and a nasty weapon thing.

By the half way point I forgot about my list. I was impressed with your abillity to entertain yourself. A little free time these holidays only made your imagination stronger. You played with the furniture, making a castle out of the couch. Amazing drawings were produced, we made lego together. Not once did you say you were bored.

I did find the noise level irritating. And I learned to walk away from the arguments between you and little Miss. I got so sick of the sound of my own voice telling you both off, that in the end I left you to it. You worked it out, no one got hurt and I kept my hair on.

Little Miss loved having you around all the time.

My favourite thing about the holidays was being with you. I asked you one afternoon,

"B what are you thinking?"

Your reply delighted me

"I'm still thinking it."

I love you B.
