A treat for me

Half term is a bit of a mixed blessing really. I love spending time with the toddler but it makes me realise how much I love those couple of hours he’s at his Montessori nursery!

I’m trying to keep us busy so no-one gets bored and today we headed off to St Pancras to look at the trains. That might sound a little dull but for a train-mad toddler it’s heaven on earth. We bundled up in our warmest clothes and took the tube to Kings Cross/St Pancras.

The toddler helped by running around and chasing pigeons, Little Sis just slept, and I was just happy that they were both quiet for once. No-one ever told me that cute little babies grew into toddlers who don’t stop talking. The toddler is an inquisitive little man and I’m actually finding his non-stop verbal diarrhoea really difficult to deal with. I adore peace and quiet so a little voice constantly asking what things are called, what things do, is hard work. However, I know it won’t last for ever and I love the fact he’s constantly learning, and going to bed exhausted 🙂

Anyway, we went up and down in lifts, watched trains come and go, saw a Police dog at work and people watched. My reward was a trip to Cath Kidston where I bought an adorable iPhone case for my iPhone 5.

It features one of her new patterns called lattice rose and I liked the pattern so much I bought Little Sis a mini clasp purse in the same pattern. She spent the rest of the afternoon playing with it and her pretend coins, so everyone was happy.
