Well, last night was the big day my little man has been hanging out for...  WE trundled off to the movies in the cold and met up with his grandparents and 2 aunties and we went to see "Get Smart".  OK, not a good choice for kids, but it was Grandpa's birthday so the movie was in his honour.  R enjoyed it but not the 2 little girls - "boring" said G, "scary" said B - so they sat a lot of it out....

Then, after the movie they headed home, taking R with them.  I asked for a hug and he said "oh we've already done that", so I asked again reminding him we wouldn't see each other for a week.  He gave me a big hug and lots of kisses and said "I gave you lots of kisses because I love you lots muchly"

So now the house is very quiet and, whilst I admit I am enjoying the rest, we miss him already....
