We drove into town and waited in the queue, in the rain to get in. We had 3 seats, Leo was to sit with me of course and Ellis in the middle. He wasn't really sure what to expect but we had tried to explain it to him.
The show commenced and Leo wasn't too bad to start with. I had treats to keep them busy and a few toys. Ellis was rather confused but sat transfixed to the stage.
Leo played up in the second half and I pretty much missed it all but Ellis sat with Daddy and had a lovely time. He really enjoyed it and joined in when we were roaring to scare the fox away. I think he will be good at the panto this year but I wouldn't like to take Leo. One main reason being that I won't have a lap at Christmas time. (Explanation blog coming soon, after I've caught up!).
After the show we took the opportunity to see Leighton, Jaidan, Sabriel, Jasper and their new baby Nico.
The following day, for Mummy afternoon we met up at a softplay centre so the kids could play and the Mums could chat. Unfortunately it doesn't work out like that for me as Leo wanders off up to the second level of the soft play centre so needs to be followed around. I can't expect him to sit at my feet playing in the ball pool for 2 hours. It does just feel like a waste of time for me though. The boys enjoy it which is great. Ellis leaves with his hair soaked with sweat, nice!
Fortunately that week I had a doctors appointment so I was gone for about an hour and half, and I had left Ellis behind. More details on that coming up.
The Wednesday was empty of things to do so we ended up going to see Nanny and Grandad Rennolds for a bit.
Ellis and Chloe were allowed to make "soup" with some of Nanny's ingredients. It made me very nervous but Nanny didn't seem to mind.
On Thursday we stayed in all day, until it was time to go to Nanny and Grandad Rennolds' house for dinner. To keep the boys occupied I tried to do lots of art stuff with them. It definitely holds Ellis' attention but Leo's not so much. He just ends up eating or throwing whatever he is given. It was fun while it lasted.
One of the items we used were some Puffy Paints. They can be used and fabric and stuff but I just had a practice on some cut out shapes. I quite liked the result and even Ellis was able to his own, and I think he did very well. Mine is the red flower and his the blue.
Later on we went up Nanny and Grandad's for dinner, which was yummy as always. I then went into the living room to find this...
Dad tried to look and sound like he was an innocent party and didn't mean for Leo to fall asleep on him but it just happened. I wasn't buying it. He loves it. I was a bit jealous as Leo never falls asleep on me like that anymore.
Luckily I woke Leo up straight away and he was fine. He wasn't grumpy and had a lovely bath with his brother.
I got them home and put them to bed and Leo went straight back off. Good boy.
