Ribbit!!

Morning all...I feel drugged this morning I am so tired lol and got awoken this morning by mum sending me a picture of the removal lorry loading up all her stuff...me thinks she is a tad excited lol. I really need to get moving this morning as I only have 3 hours to go before Adam breaks up for the summer holidays, 7 weeks to entertain him hmmmm wonder how long it will take me to write a post ranting that I want him in school again lol!!

floating fairy

Good Evening to you all, and hope your weekend has been good. Been busy this end although I've got another bout of tonsilitus I've kept going and yesterday was great as me and Adam went to the hospital to learn about lots more recipes for him to try and new products coming out and I was so proud of him yesterday as I'm hoping we are beating the phobia of trying new foods and he managed to try a few bits and actually went back for more. So looks like this week I shall be cooking more inventions for him to eat and I hope sucess is in our favour. Also last night after many tears Adams top front tooth came out the one next to it is also hanging by a thread to so hopefully that won;t take too long too come out as well he does look funny with the gap there now.
