First stop was the dentist. The boys have been every year that they have been born, with me, but have never sat in the chair and had their teeth checked properly. Once in the room Ellis was called up first and he just climbed up, pushed the button to recline the chair, put his sun glasses on and did all that he was told to do. I was so proud of him! He looked at me at one point saying "I love coming to the dentist!".
This of course made it so much easier for Leo, who did exactly the same thing as Ellis and I couldn't have been more surprised or proud. They both received stickers and we left.
I dropped Ellis back at school then zoomed off to go swimming with Leo and Oscar. We had a lovely time in the pool and Leo was starting to get more confident, just as Oscar did a poo! Great! Our time in the pool was cut short because of it which was sad but couldn't be helped. Oscar is the first baby of mine to poo while in the pool so I was a bit surprised, but thankfully quite prepared.
When I was sorting Oscar out, I hadn't realised how Leo was sitting so when I stood him up to undress him, he started screaming complaining about his legs hurting. I quickly worked out that he had pins and needles in both legs and was screaming the place down! I tried rubbing them and telling him that it would go soon but it took ages and the poor thing was desperate for a wee! I had Oscar just sat on the baby changing table while trying to sort Leo out and getting myself dressed so that I could take him to the loo. Quite a chaotic and stressful 5 minutes really but all ended well and we went to the cafe to eat our lunch.
I wanted to waste some time today so that Nicki our cleaner could clean in peace, so we walked over to the shops, in the rain. Leo had a run around but was soon crying that he was tired so I ended up carrying him.
We bought some football trainers for Ellis and I realised that Oscar had fallen asleep with his chin on his chest, so I sorted him out and carried on around the shop just browsing really.
Oscar had a rude awakening as when we went outside it was windy and raining still. I tried to run back to the car but it was just impossible and we all got soaked, again.
I still needed to waste some time so we went to McDonalds for a snack and into NEXT for a few things. I bought t-shirts for Oscar and Leo, some pants and pyjamas for Leo.
Back at home, Ali kindly said she would pick Ellis up for me, so I got the bags ready for going to Nanny's as it was still raining and I was sure football would be cancelled again, which I later found out it was.
At Nanny's we had lots of fun playing battleships on the ipads, rolling balls, jumping over things, watching TV, eating yummy food, reading and just chilling.
The boys were totally shattered by the time I left. Leo and Oscar fell asleep within 3 minutes and Ellis was very sleepy when I pulled into the drive.
They all went straight to bed and I'm hoping not to hear from them until 7:30am please.
