New nursery, new friends

This is the first official week back at school after the holidays so all the groups have started up again.

Monday I went to 'Move and Groove' in Ingleton - advertised as for 2-4 year olds.  Turned up to find most were 2 and under 2, including babies.  One 3 year old turned up, also a Thomas, unfortunately he was deaf and had learning difficulties so not a great match for Tom.

Tuesday we went to a play group held by Casterton School - once again everyone was under 3.  Tom didn't seem to mind and the mums were quite friendly.  Went to a playbarn in the afternoon - was very quiet - only about 6 children were there, and once again all young ones - where oh where are the 3 year olds round here?

Wednesday and Thursday Tom went to his new nursery and from what we can work out really enjoyed it.  He cried at 2pm on Wednesday and 3.20pm on Thursday, but has found some friends (his age too - yahoooo!)  Toby and Lily - both of whom gave him hugs and kisses when Tom left each.  A real relief.  I in the meantime have used my 'time off' wisely and have started to set up Lily Pad Bakery again.  I have sorted out marketing, updated the website ready for relaunch, and contacted Environmental Health  and done an on-line Food Safety Course.  Hopefully soon it will be all systems go.
