All that walking around in the fresh air during the day makes for a tired bean at night :-)

Packing, Bean Bean style
I brought the suitcases in and Bean is rearing to go. He’s already started packing. So far, we have break, bagels, baby wipes and all the remotes that usually live on the couch. You know, the important stuff :-)
Ben was very cute this morning
Bean came into the office this morning and wanted to draw something before going to nursery. He climbs up on my chair, grabs a pen and starts doodling lines on a piece of scrap paper, while muttering: “mummy, daddy, bean, reenie, tolstoy, babba, dadda, uncle stu, auntie mina, uncle michael…”

Almost lost bunny *gasp*
On the way home from work last night, my bag was very full and I had to cram a few things in, including bunny. When I got home and started to unpack stuff, my blood ran cold when I realized that bunny had gone AWOL. I told Katy that I’d retrace my steps and called the campus coach company to see if it might have been left in there by accident. I’m happy to say that all is well. Some kind soul had picked him up from the sidewalk and propped him up on a brick wall halfway from the house to the bus stop. I called the coach people back to let them know I’d found him and, bless their cotton socks, they were already looking all over the coach.
I carried bunny back hone, but he gave me frightened evils all the way…
So proud :-)
Bean peed standing up for the first time. The world is now his toilet!
Groundbreaking news
No, literally, there was a ground-breaking ceremony for the nursery extension project on campus and all of the kids had their picture taken in front of the big excavator. That’s my Bean in there, looking slightly bemused with the whole thing.

News from the last few days
Katy’s operation on Monday went well and so far, so good. It got rid of a deep-tissue infection that’s been plaguing her since after Bean was born, so yeah, good riddance!
She was discharged on the day and has been feeling fairly well since, with only the occasional bouts of discomfort. Hopefully that’ll be the end of that! She needs to get the suture clips taken out next week.
The oldies were a big help with Bean. They went on a massive cleaning spree on Monday and installed new shelves in Bean’s room, then Mel and I spent the whole of Tuesday replacing the kitchen sink. Of course, this being our house, it fought us all the way. I swear the man who did most of the work a couple of owners ago was an idiot, or a cowboy bodger, or a mix of both. In the end, we ended up ripping out a large section of the drain pipe and redoing the work ourselves instead of trying to make everything fit with the loony-tunes installation that was there before. Wednesday was a chill day, with a side trip to Scottsdales. With the sunny weather we’ve been having all week, we had BBQs and chimenea fires all week.
Bean’s in nursery today and tomorrow, so the oldies have gone back home for a well-earned bit of peace and quiet.

Poor horsey…
I think that horsey needs some knee pads…
