friendships forming

Its so sweet. A told Lauren he loved her yesterday. Lauren wanted to give him a kiss when she went for her nap. Only she didn't nap...she lay there quietly for a bit, then called out for A! Clearly she felt she was missing out on something, and she has never been bothered before - but A has never been here at nap time before!! Thankfully she stayed happy all afternoon, but fingers crossed she sleeps next wednesday!!

So we fitted in a trip to the park instead. Later we had 10 minutes in the cold garden collecting up leaves to stick on as a bushy tail on a squirrel. The dining room looks very autumnal now, with squirrels and trees and warm brown leaves.

Today we did glitter fireworks pictures, we had running races, we made our own fireworks displays on the computer, and of course we played, and played and played :-)
