The middle is like me and like you and my own. I flinch sometimes when I see him "settle" and not push a little more when he's perfectly capable. As for the youngest, I always imagine him cheery. I can still see the photo set you did of him in his superman outfit that cold day at the beach when it was just the 3 of you having a special day. My goal is to capture as many days like that during fleeting childhood as I can with my kid. It's a good visual you have me holding. I like biggest boys' methodologies, mine did something similar... the tooth fairy response was really impressive. <br /><br />Favorite photo today: The bubbling water and rocks. I just want to run outside and poke something with a stick now and chuck rocks in a river :)<br /><br />sorry for the long comment, sorry it's been a while.elnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654199835246576704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-58394667136257499282015-03-17T20:52:47.778+00:002015-03-17T20:52:47.778+00:00The tooth fairy forgot to visit here once - she wr...The tooth fairy forgot to visit here once - she wrote a letter saying she was sorry to be late but she was at a fairy party (partly true) and very busy. That and an extra quid smoothed things over nicely. My friend once forgot her second child when he was about 3 days old and left him in the car in his car seat - only for about five minutes, but enough to make her feel terrible! xGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-83579992128055072772015-03-17T17:33:13.640+00:002015-03-17T17:33:13.640+00:00Love that tooth fairy letter - they can be very re...Love that tooth fairy letter - they can be very resourceful, can't they? When my children were small the tooth fairy had to adapt to several tricky tooth-collecting episodes (lost teeth, tooth too far under the pillow to reach etc) but managed very well :) I'm very envious of your peach tree - does it yield any fruit? The blossom alone must be worth it :)<br />Cathy xThe House with the Blue Doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427149486706803890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-65653452486642984902015-03-16T20:59:10.507+00:002015-03-16T20:59:10.507+00:00I shall have to look out for Monty Don's cooke...I shall have to look out for Monty Don's cookery book, I enjoyed some of the recipes that he included in one of his previous gardening books. Oh dear leaving your son behind, it sounds as if he enjoyed chasing after you! Our tooth fairy was never very efficient and would frequently forget or drop the money on the floor! My daughter was working in a school last week and was very impressed that the school had special envelopes for teeth. When she was at school they used to be wrapped in a part of a blue hand towel!

I came across your blog recently and so have been reading back--hence my problem - I would like to try the sultana and real chocolate from chocolate bars cookies - but can't re-find where the recipe was? Can you help?<br /> I like reading about your sons, your allotment and books. I live in Canada although I grew up in England and remember pretending to be studying in the school library (for some reason you were supposed to be studying to use it at lunchtime) of course I was really reading of the adventures of Swallows and Amazons.Grandmotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04025641204648010198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-74872156693700745562015-03-15T18:53:09.748+00:002015-03-15T18:53:09.748+00:00That tooth fairy letter is just perfect - I shall ...That tooth fairy letter is just perfect - I shall be storing that one away for the next time!

M read them as a lad and then L got into them some 30 years later- if you have one who loves fires and penknives and climbing trees they are perfect reading material. L devoured them. Great stuff.<br />I'm impressed with the wool dying- it's a lovely colour - and I empathise 100% about the leaving things till the last minute. It is de rigueur here as far as L is concerned. I have given up worrying and just support him where I can.<br /><br />And finally, I love the tooth fairy letter. She once had to write something similar to L because she'd been incredibly busy on that night too. Apparently, tooth fairies especially love diving into a glass of water to retrieve teeth and leave extra money then, for the sheer joy of it.... :o) xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-89054267789503169992015-03-14T17:08:05.779+00:002015-03-14T17:08:05.779+00:00Looks like the Legal Department at Tooth Collectio...Looks like the Legal Department at Tooth Collection Central know their stuff. How reassuring. When we were in Ireland last year Mr C lost a tooth and wrote to the tooth fairy requesting more than the local rate of one euro as he'd worked out it was less than one pound and didn't want to be diddled! <br />I say don't change CJ, you are lovely as you are. There's nothing like the benefit of hindsight is there, but our children have to do a certain amount of learning this by themselves. You're definitely not the only one to have left the premises sans enfant and (not sure I should admit this) I frequently forget to strap youngest into car booster seat before driving off. She always remembers and shouts "MUM!!!!!" very loudly luckily xx<br />Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007583111181817717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-215630672898605362015-03-14T13:27:41.224+00:002015-03-14T13:27:41.224+00:00I doubt you're the first parent to leave a chi...I doubt you're the first parent to leave a child behind - some do it on purpose!
