Life's a drag!

Curtis has mastered getting around a foot or two in crawling mode but has found that dragging himself about is far faster...and a lot funnier for us to watch! Hence being called 'the seal' when spends the day with Tracey.

Here he is on You Tube again....these aren't such great videos, boring as hell for anyone but his grandparents I'm sure! Click the links to view...

Curtis giggling

I tried to upload this video a few weeks back but it was a few seconds too long to load onto blogger, so I've put it on you tube instead...here's the link...double click to view.

The best childminder in Glasgow

It's been a couple of weeks since we posted on here. It's just been quite busy since Steph has been back at work and Gareth has now changed jobs which means an extra couple of hours driving each day...so getting onto the blog has been impossible. But all is well with the three of us...Curtis is so happy with his childminder that we feel we are doing him a favour by dropping him off there a few days each week and it's made our days at work a lot easier to deal with. Curtis and his childminder Tracey hit it off instantly...she is as lively, fun and as much into cuddles, laughing and giggling as Curtis is so they are a perfect match. Curtis now knows where he is when we arrive at Traceys in the morning and squeals with delight. He loves spending time with the other children he sees and seems to be getting the best of everthing having 4 days with us and 3 very active days with Tracey, her mum Wilma and the other kids he sees. He goes along to pick up and drop off other kids at school or nursery, goes swimming, goes to bounce and rhyme sessions, has been off to the park, goes for coffees and lunches, goes to Xscape to watch people on the climbing wall, goes to the funfair, visits countyr parks and museums, and goes to parent and toddler groups each week...and these are just some of his activities...he also plays with lots of fun toys at Tracey and Wilmas houses, gets heaps of cuddles, has home made lunches each day and lots of playtime and games. We feel so lucky to have found Glasgows best childminders, so a huge thankyou to Tracey and her mum from us all for taking such good care of Curtis and making us all so happy.
