My favourite time of Mondays

Once a week my son trots off to daycare, where he spends his time being cared for by a delightful group of very nice ladies. You would have to be amongst the nicest people in the world to sign up to work in your Childcare- talk about a tough job! The day he is in care gives me some valuable time to do the jobs that are just too boring for a two year old to sit through, or too tricky for me to do with him by my side. But, even though I know he is happy, I miss him, and the sound of his sweet little feet chasing around after me. So pick-up time is one of the highlights of my day (and, I flatter myself, his!).

He is often a bit too busy Investigating and Being Two to eat properly at daycare, so I like to bring him a light afternoon tea. Today, it was fruit skewers. Because, who doesn't love delicious fresh fruit arranged like bright little soldiers?
