Update

I have been really busy recently, lots of overtime at work. I just can't say no - Christmas is hurtling towards us and i have been buying already. I have never Christmas shopped this early before. We have also been making Christmas cards.

Ryan is great, loving school they have just started to teach him Christmas songs so that they are ready for the Christmas Concert next month. Halloween went ok, Ryan refused to dress as any sort of monster so he went for Shrek ears. A few children came trick or treating and Ryan and i greeted them with sweets, Ryan told them not to take them all! Bonfire night was great, i was a bit nervous about taking Ryan to an actual display because he has always been so scared of fireworks but we had a chat and somehow it was decided that it was all about Power Rangers fighting(power Rangers are the new big thing)in the sky. We went to the beach and met up with a friend of ours and Ryan loved the sparklers and when the display began Ryan and his friend where too busy running around being Power Rangers to be scared or to notice the fireworks.

I have just started reading Enid Blyton's The Magical Adventures of the Wishing-Chair to Ryan, it's lovely having him sat still next to me for half an hour and i have his full attention.
