Just been to Cornwall for the weekend, we stayed with my Dad and Mary and had a brilliant time. Took Tom to meet his great-grandma, who loved him to bits and even managed to hold him despite being nearly 91 and having 3 strokes! We went to St Ives on the train and played on the beach, Emily loved making sandcastles and very carefully placed a stone on each one! We had a fish and chip supper at John Becks restaurant and Emily sat up to the table and ate sausage, chips and beans. On the saturday we went to Newquay to the Aquarium which Emily loved, she saw Rays, Sharks and loads of fish but her favourite were the seahorses or "lots and lots of seahorses" as she put it. Tom was quite taken with the bright fish in the tropical tanks. Wayne and I even managed a night out on the saturday having left the children in the capable hands of Nanna and Grandad! Emily had her first proper haircut from Nanna Mary, she sat quietly whilst Mary took a couple of inches off the length to tidy it up. We then went for a lovely sunday lunch before setting off home only to get stressed out completely on the M4 and M5!
Today we have ventured into potty training, we have tried it before but it is make or break now and one way or another Emily is not wearing nappies anymore. We had a productive afternoon with 7 sucessful attempts in the potty - one of which being a number 2! Only 4 little accidents on the carpet - how many times a day do children go to the loo! We have also welcomed Sarah-Jane and Justin to the family, a couple of goldfish happily settled in the kitchen - named by Emily of course.
