nostalgia
I was just looking at The Bean’s photos and thinking that, you know, Aprilia was Butterbean’s age on her first Melrose, a tot, barely out of nappies (and I mean only a month or two previous!) who had only just learned to talk. And now we are at the getting stuff ready stage for our fourth or is it fifth trip up there. Some days it feels like I’ve known all my wonderful "puddle friends" for as long as I can remember, other days it feels like yesterday when I staggered up those stairs for the first time wondering what on earth i had let myself in for. Looking at it that way we have come so far, she has learned so much and I can see it’s really working for us. Looking on a day to day basis I do wonder sometimes though - I just never feel we do anything some weeks! Makes you wonder how much time is wasted in schools really at this age, if we can come this far in half an hour or an hour a day!
yeah, I was looking at BB, and thinking that SB was a year older at our first Melrose [though technically the same figure age]

Small was at the prop him up stage - think just about every adult there either fed him or cuddled him at some point!
