Oooops.

Dear me, my addiction to FB was deeper than I realised.  I opened the laptop this morning to check updates before remembering I'd cancelled my account.  So I checked my email, quick nosy at blogs and then, well felt a bit lost.

Life soon took over though.  Beautiful day, sunny and crisp, so down to Toddler group first thing and then into town for a few bits and bats... and oh dear, a trip to the yarn shop.  Hmm, still an addiction to yarn is healthier than FB, isn't it?  I did only buy 3 balls of yarn:

Oh and the pins too.  In fact the pins cost more than the yarn!  (£3.60).

And look at me, I even bought myself a few more clothes and a pair of faux walking boots - those are for the winter and bought with the next Green Parent meet, in the Forest of Dean in November, in mind.

We popped into the secondhand book store,which also sells second hand toys and I saw some lovely wooden threading beads.  Turned around and Rye was looking at me hopefully, and stood beside this:

 How is a mama suppose to refuse?  OK, honestly, I nearly did as it was £15, which I thought for a secondhand scooter was a bit pricey; there again it is sturdy and well, Rye just looked so hopeful, with a tinge of "she'll say no" about him, and that made me feel a bit sad.   I have been saying "no" a fair bit recently, something to be mindful of, definitely.  Perhaps I'll ban myself from saying the word for the rest of the week - I think sometimes "no" can become an automatic response, and, I feel, denying a request or a want ought to be subject to some scrutiny.

He made me a beautiful necklace from the beads, which are wooden leaves, flowers, suns, coloured round beads etc.  That boy of mine, has excellent fine motor skills :-)
