Grateful




I'm grateful this week for these 3 people. My children and best friend. A little boy who is about to break up for summer holidays has progressed so well this year with French. He requests funny snacks such as apples with strawberries in it! He's a sensitive little chap and I'm looking forward to spending more time with him in the holidays. Bella is such a character. She is so expressive and a drama queen. Many people don't see her personality as she tends to scream when anyone speaks to her. I wish those who make a fuss of her would just leave her alone as the screams get louder and upsets her more. I'm hoping when she starts nursery she'll grow out of it. I doubt she'll grow out of her obsession with hats and bags though . And Scott, who has so much patience with them. Taking pride in teaching Sam gardening tricks, chess, cooking...anything! He doesn't pretend to understand me when I'm over emotional but never fails to make me laugh and put things back into perspective :)
