Chrissie’s childcare

Today I get our nephew for the whole day.
It’s not often I get to have just him.
We’re snuggled on the sofa reading the Gruffalo and he’s just smiling at me and my silly voices 💖

I know sometimes it all feels overwhelming but read this.
Our girls are 19 and 12 now and we’re still wanted- still needed but I miss them being so young

So apparently the big mouth monster only eats motorbikes and drinks dairy coffee. The worms grow legs and save the mouth from the big man that wants his bike back.

This is an original story made up by a 2 & 3 year old.

No words!

Today we had a home day, we had our childminding friends over and the tooth fairy (a lovely lady from Kirklees who came around to see how our teeth brushing was going) Each child got a sticker and I got a certificate wohooo!!
Why the biscuits on the children’s faces??
Yours truly is trying to eat healthier and salad is not hitting the right spot!!

Does anyone have a trail camera?
We are wondering what kinds of visitors we have on a night time in the garden. We’ve seen foxes and hedgehogs
It would be lovely to see who visits x

Hi light so far—-
Seeing my Ruth and having this lil fella singing to us..

Low point. Pushing a stick into the ground and the bigger snapping. I fell like a sack of spuds.

Little Grandma's Play Gym today, the children had a blast. One wee one learned to climb the steps to the slide. There is no stopping him now. Another figured out how to peddle the big tractor. Two cheeky lil people negotiated the swing and worked together to climb on. And the stepping stones are always a hit.

Oh did i mention we had lunch again 🤤 home made pizzas, home made soup with cheese on toast, fresh baguette with salad and halloumi and yummy fruit. There was more but that’s the food I “borrowed”

No wonder I’m a big girl 🤣🤣

Another lovely day at Forest x
Funniest quote of the day - see top left picture.

“Chrissie I need the yellow water”
“Why??”
“I need to make this flower yellow”
“It’s already yellow”
“I know….it worked- now pass me green!”
