They do grow so fast - but don't you find that it's thrilling seeing them develop. At the moment I'm loving seeing Sam take on the challenges of school, and his delight at learning to read and discovering he can do it himself! This is why he's had "ham, egg and chips" each time we've been out recently - as he can read that on the menu himself!
And he had a fantastic time for his birthday, and the weekend before when we went over to the Isle of Wight for the day to Carisbrooke Castle (his request) and then the following weekend when we had a big family party away (30 of us officially for my Aunt's birthday - but Sam's came into it too!), and he got to do things like fossil hunting on the beach (we were near Lyme Regis), and his triceratops birthday cake!
Great fun!
H.
