The next big adventure!

Adventure for Aden...scary for Mummy!!

Aden starts Day Care, for 1 day a week, next week, progressing to 3 days when I return to work in January. I can't say I'm looking forward to either of those things...returning to work or sending Aden to start his first institutionalised education!

But as it is drawing nearer we have been getting prepared.
I've made his sheet bag

We've gone in and met his carers and new play mates. We've bought labels for his dink bottles, lunch box and clothing. I've made him some more 'Big Butt' Pants

I still have to decide what to put in his lunch box...and how long I'm going to stay and then leave him there for the first day....sounds scary to me!

I think Aden will be just fine but got any tips for helping Mummy survive the first day...

Institutionalized education? LOL He'll be playing in the sandpit and eating play dough! He will have a BALL!!!!! Tips for you? No guilt allowed! No crying till you are back in the car. :) Honestly, he will be fine and you will both love it. x

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
