Well my son lost his first tooth today and so the arrival of the tooth fairy is imminent, its all so exciting lol! But I must admit to having had a little bit of a moment shortly after I had been proudly presented with this tooth. All of a sudden I realised that this tooth was a symbol of my little boy becoming a big boy! Ok I know in reality that has been going on for a long time (he suddenly grew up overnight after starting school) but it was as if I had been presented with a physical symbol of this life changing event and it made me think about all sorts of things.
 Lets hope the tooth fairy spreads out her visits though because as of today I am now officially unemployed. I have worked ever since my son was little and recently took the difficult decision to give up work - I thought it would get easier to carry on working as he got older but it actually got harder. When he was little I could take him to a private daycare nursery in the morning before work and then pick him up after work (usually about 8.30-5.30) and he loved it there, I really think it helped him to develop those social skills too. However when he started school last year a whole new nightmare began! The school I applied to had lots of childminders that picked up children from there, however we never got a place. The school he is at now is lovely but there are no childminders in the vicinity! I tried going part time to fit in with school hours but then if he was ill I had to take time off meaning I struggled in when I was ill so that it wouldnt be so bad if I was only off once. Anyway to cut a long story short I have decided to give up work and speand some quality time with my son and with the two weeks holiday coming up we will have lots of time to do so.
I do hope this hasnt bored you too much and promise that I will try to make future posts a bit more interesting! However this blog writing is all new to me so it may take me a while to develop my skills! Please bear with me!
