Vanilla cake with lemon cream cheese icing. Extra icing. Gluten, dairy and egg! Mmm. The OH's birthday cake
The OH's taking Shmoo and Loo to a Slipstream Circus show tomorrow. Part of our homeschool group's programme. Poor Shmoo couldn't get to sleep tonight. He called me into his room to tell me he was scared. After chatting to him for a bit I managed to work out what it was about - he was worried that it was going to be like last time, overwhelming, lots of kids, and a class that he would be expected to participate in. I reassured him that it would just be a show, that other people would be performing and all he had to do was watch, like at the Playschool Concert. He must have been reassured as he happily went to sleep. A 2 hour show is a bit beyond the attention span of an 18 month old so Beanie and I are looking forward to some quiet time whilst they're out.
We had the visit with SJ from the Early Childhood Intervention Service a couple of days ago. It was just the initial contact so she could meet the Bean and discuss where we go from here.
No surprises in the way Beanie reacted to her. He buried his face into my chest and refused to look at her.
SJ is going to talk to the other people she works with and come up with a plan for us.
Funny coincidence: one of the people that SJ works with is F... who organises the homeschool group meets.
I wanted to get some better pics of the boys but it was really hard to get far enough away from Shmoo. He was very curious about the fire station but was a bit freaked at the new environment and loud, sudden noises. He clung to my side for a good deal of the visit. But both he and Loo enjoyed the visit.
Beanie spent the visit on my back in the Ergo, desperately trying to avoid making eye contact with anyone. Kinda hard when standing in the middle of the big group with people all around so, for the most part, he buried his face into my back.
