just after we got back from dropping James off at pre-school and so we got some quality playtime without big brother around. She seems to absolutely love it! It was fun watching her explore and get so excited.

She was very determined to climb-on ... and off ...
She almost tied her legs in knots doing it but ...
"Mummy, she's stuck under the table again!!"
This is what I heard earlier when I went to answer the phone ...
This is one of Bekah's favourite places to be at the moment!

Slippery Little Suckers!
Bekah had a spot of trouble with her carrots tonight ... It happened a few times and I finally thought to go and get the video camera!
Our Big Boy - The Pre-School-er!!
Today James started pre-school. Felt like a big milestone for our little guy! He'll be going 2 afternoons a week to start with. He got on really well and seemed to enjoy it. I was able to sneak out without him getting upset which was really good. He looked so grown-up in his Kilnsea Pre-school sweatshirt and t-shirt! He's told Dan and I quite a few different, random things about what he did ... not sure how many he actually did but it's been cute to hear:
"I played cars and trains"
"I played outside and then I went inside"
"I played outside and then I went inside"
"We sang a song" (He's been singing parts of Hickory Dickory Dock and One Finger, One Thumb this afternoon ...)
"It cost 5p and I used the trolley" (I think he was playing shop!)
When Grandma asked if he'd made any friends he said "Not yet" but when Daddy asked him he said "That orange one was called Tom"
He completely surprised me by NOT having a nap this afternoon and actually being full of energy - I thought he'd be exhausted!
I did get some photos but he kept his eyes closed in ALL of them (he does that quite often these days when he doesn't want his picture taken) and I didn't want to push it but I hope you enjoy them!
Before we left the house ...
He was being really sweet and goofy before we left - he was even posing and saying "cheese" for the camera but I was too slow!
While big brother is away ....
Almost as soon as we were back from dropping James off, Bekah had got her hands on two of James most prized possessions - Thunderbird 3 and the Police land rover and boy was she pleased about it!
Stickers from Auntie Lin
Auntie Lin sent James some stickers in the post yesterday that she found at work. James had a great time playing with them while Mummy got the dinner ready. Thank you, Auntie Lin!!

Uncle Mark's Open Garden Day
One of the gardens where Uncle Mark works had an open garden day for charity today and so we went along with Auntie Lisa. Christine, Benjamin and Simeon came too. It was gorgeous weather and the gardens were lovely - especially the bluebell woods. Mark did a great job of showing us round. We had a great time!
Not a bad view ...
This photo didn't come out too well but you could see Maidenhead in the distance, Royal Ascot race course to the right and Windsor Castle to the left ...
Time for a pub lunch!
Afterwards we decided to stop for lunch at a pub in Cookham. We sat outside in the glorious sunshine!
Time for a swim!
Auntie Lin bought Rebekah this cute swimming costume/bathing suit last weekend and so we finally got round to taking Rebekah swimming for the first time on Saturday. It was the first time we've been since coming back to England and we all really enjoyed it. Rebekah seemed to like being in the water and James LOVED it - especially the slide into the water. We were really surprised just how much he loved it. We're going to try and go more regularly. Maybe I'll get some pictures of the kids in the pool next time.[Do you like the model pose in the first picture??? Hope she's not planning on being a swimsuit model ..... ;0) ]
Three sleeping beauties ...
I came home from shopping the other day to find these 3 sleepy heads sitting in front of the TV - Dan was only dozing but the other 2 were fast asleep. It looked really cute!

On Wednesday we went to Wellington Country Park with Grandma and Grandad as they both had the day off work. The weather turned out to be really nice and so we had another lovely afternoon exploring! ;0)
