Yah its open!

Well the snow came in full force but luckily my sons playschool has stayed open for the last 2 days. Ive actually enjoyed the walk with him in the snow (although it is bitterly cold).
I cannot believe how many schools have been shut round here, I can understand if a parent lives far away and cannot drive a child into school but most kids live within walking distance. I am told its mostly due to the teachers not being able to get to school but everyone else has to go to work. At my old job you had to get into work no matter what the weather was, it was understood you may be late but you still had to go. Its funny how the government will not allow you to take a child on holiday during term time but thinks its ok to shut schools because of a bit of snow. It must be very hard for parents who have to take time off of work to look after their children.

PLEASE...No more snow!

My son went back to Playschool Monday and he was absolutely thrilled. Its such a change from this time last year when I was dropping him off in tears. He gave the teachers a big hug when he went back and is happy to go to bed when he knows he is getting up for playschool.
This is why I am praying we do not get the blizzard thats forecast tonight. He will be so dissapointed if it is closed tomorrow morning.

I ordered one of those potty's that looks like a toilet today. My son is 3 and a half and I am still struggling with potty training. He gets really upset and tries to hold everything in as long as possible. I even tried reward charts but he really does not want to learn. I decided to leave it and give it a go again after Christmas. Hopefully he will like hes new potty and get the hang of it. Apparently it plays music as a reward for using it. I really need to get him sorted soon so fingers crossed.
