I don’t know what’s going on but over the last week my hayfever has been really bad. Today at work my eyes were itchy and constantly streaming. Very uncomfortable indeed. I’ve bought some special Optrex spray that you spray into the closed eyelids. I hope it works. Amy’s friend Charlotte is also suffering with it. Maybe it was the long winter that has caused the flora to collectively say “we’ve had enough, we want Spring and we want it NOW!”
When I got back from Sainsburgs Jake was practicing leaping about on his, bed. Today he went to Sam’s 3rd birthday and by all accounts had a lovely time. He came back with a goodie bag containing cake and a lolly.
During story-time I read him his new story that Tante bought him when she came to visit this weekend. It is a Thomas story and has a special Harold ‘searchlight’ that you place under cellophane images to ‘light up’ the story. Jake loves it and always asks lots of questions.
Today Jake was painting and painted his first proper face with two eyes a mouth, eyebrows and a beard. I asked himif he was painting Daddy and he said “Yes!”. Apparently the painting of a face with such accuracy is quite advanced and is something expected of a four year old!
