It's been a bit quiet here this week. Kade and I are both suffering with colds, but I think Kade is on the improve, so that's good !
I took Toby to a funeral on Wednesday...his best friend's mum. Very, very sad. Toby has been such a strong support for his friend. Toby is coping well himself, and while he has always been quite affectionate he is even more so at the moment. After the service we followed the hearse to the burial and he held my hand the whole way. He put his head on my shoulder as we walked and said "I love you mum". I am so proud of both he and his friends - there were four of them there to support T, and they all went back to T's house afterwards. The other parents chipped in and I went about bought some Coke and fish & chips and the boys spent the evening playing XBox and just being teenage boys together.
On a happier note, Kade has a new favourite TV show - "In The Night Garden". It's a BBC production from the creators of the Teletubbies. He knows all the characters; Igglepiggle, Makka Pakka, Upsy Daisy, the Tombliboos (Unn, Ooo and Eee), the Pontipines, the Hoo Haas, the Tittifers, the Ninky Nonk and the Pinky Ponk. His favourite is either Igglepiggle or Makka Pakka. We bought him the DVD the other day and am expecting it in the post either today or tomorrow...he will be thrilled !!
This morning we are going to meet Sarah and Harry for coffee and a play. We're gutted that Starbucks has gone, but at least the kids play area is still there :( Sarah is another Fiskars Ambassador and we're going to swap and share some Fiskars product so we have some more variety to play with.

Do hope both you and kade are getting over the cold... Very proud of Toby being such a great support for his friend with the sudden death of his mum... you just never know when the ones you love will be gone forever from sight, but will always be held close in their hearts. Well done Toby for being able to handle such a sensitive tie in a friend's life.
Oh such sad news about Toby's friend's mum. Toby seems much older than he is - great kid!!!!
Great for you to be able to still catch up with your friend - even though your beloved Starbucks is gone.
Take care. Say gidday to that gorgeous little dude of yours.
Luv Sandie
