The time on the clock says ...

When my son was an nursery he didn't say alot ,then there were those children who were a constant chatter and made you smile or cry laughter with the things they said such  as:


"Look Bus dad.. look bus dad "


Can you imagine that sounded like ?

Well what about this then  ?


"Look my  Dad has a  Big Cock" .... and it's at this point I will add the child had a problem saying the L sound ...

What he meant to say was " My dad has a big clock " so his mum ensured me at nursery school. The mind boggles or rather it doesn't !

"Bus Dad"

@NamesInLights light up the world!

I was lucky enough to be offered a three letter Names in Light which I shall give to my niece what child wouldn't like a light that magically changes colour before your eyes.Here are below are a couple of ( shaky ) videos of the light in action !

The Process

For the three letter light sculpture select any three letters ( or numbers or a combination of the two and have them made into a glorious, beguiling mesmeric light sculpture that will infuse the senses. When illuminated, the lights softly change colour creating an enchanting light show.

These letters are 48mm high x 12mm deep . The whole piece is 80mm high and 160mm wide.

The light runs from USB or via adapter ( supplied free to the UK only )

The cost of the three letter light sculpture is £29.95 and postage is £3.95

Names in Lights sculpture.

Thoughts

I think it is a delightful idea and is has so much scope not only for a childs bedroom but pubs,clubs,weddings etc the possibilities are endless. I think I am going to be the best Auntie in the world ( shines halo!)

Disclosure ( I was sent a three letter light sculpture for review all words and thoughts are entirely my own )

Grey Conversation ...

The family dinner table the scene of well dinner and startling  intellectual strange conversations. Picture the scene ...

Son "Its my insert day tomorrow "

"Oh I didn't know" I replied ( either School hadn't told me or I had forgot ) and on that subject what can't all schools in the local area have them on the same day?

" Well I am here in the morning  then I have to go work and school so back later after my haircut" I told him in that way you nod your head as you speak making you look loony.

"What you having it cut again" piped up my lumbering bundle of joy.

"Oh mums having her grey coloured " chirped Mr T  he was too far away for me to kick him under the table . I gave him the evil eye though and the death stare....

"What Fifty Shades of Grey " chirped J in all innocence ( as he hasn't the foggiest what the book is about he thinks its about hair colouring!)

"No J that's another Story" I retorted.


I think I am going to punish Mr T for a few days .....

Phobias, fears and foibles ...

My husband told me that J had watched a section of the Matrix in English within  my immediate reaction was was of oh no as The Matrix can be a scary film. The second reaction was should they be showing this is as they  are under age ? ( though it appears they only showed a non scary clip of this film it was in relation to how old tales are replicated in modern films)


Now J has always been for want of a better word sensitive to some aspects of life, its really hard to put my finger on it. But its little like this :

From an early age because of his ear problems he was always sensitive and on occasion quite highly strung as a toddler. There would be many a day where I would have to ring my husband because J was having a melt down. And then there was the countless times at nursery where he refused to go inside whether anything was upsetting him at nursery I didn't know but because of his slack of communication skills he couldn't tell me.

Another problem we used to have was J used to get very angry unless he had something to eat he was mildly sugar low coupled with anaemia.


Then as he got  older and the communication developed the fears started to creep in it started with "Wizard of Oz" and the flying monkeys. I really don't know how to explain it but it as if he doesn't like watching anything with a touch of reality to it. You can imagine the fun and games we have with Doctor Who and films like "Star Dust " will have him climbing up the walls. Though he loved Lord of the Rings and was completely obsessed buy it when he was younger. I think the problem is he struggles with if it can happen in a film it makes me uneasy/worried/scared and if it can't happen he's ok with it.

Going to town can be a challenge teenagers really don't like shopping at the best of times but J likes to plan the journey with great detail and will get edgy if you deviate from this path. We also have the sticking to of certain foods which can be ever so tricky sometimes at meal times you might think he's also burgers and chips this is far from the truth.

With all have our own phobias, fears and foibles ....

And as someone recently said to me "There are too many labels in the world"

Some situations don't always warrant a trip to the doctors if its they get in the ways of life to such a degree that you or those around you should perhaps go to the doctors. For now we are all ticking along fine.
