Today is Daniel's last day at preschool. I feel sad for him because I know he's going to miss it there and miss his key worker, Kerry. He made a card for her last night and copied the words "I love you" into it because that's what he wanted it to say, and drew dinosaurs and kisses and a butterfly. I'm excited for him to start school though, because I know he's going to love it! Poor Noah will miss him so much every day (I confess I will too). Only a couple more weeks until school ... the air is feeling like autumn already and I even noticed that a couple of leaves have turned on our silver birch tree:

Yes I do realise the lawn desperately needs mowing ... it'll need raking soon too


And speaking of plants, look how well our pansy seeds have grown! Daniel and I planted them a few weeks ago. They sit on the vestibule windowsills; it's like a greenhouse.

DIY PROGRESS
Noah's room:
Wall 1 (the wall with the door in): fully painted
Wall 2 (the wall with the radiator on): most of first coat painted, still have to paint behind shelving unit and do second coat
Wall 3 (the wall with the window on): some cutting in done, no use painting until after window is replaced
Wall 4 (the wall with the cot against it): first coat complete


Mirror ready for painting, monograms waiting for second coat:

Bathroom:

Tomorrow night the old bath gets ripped out, floor laid, battens and drywall up and new bath installed! Wish us luck!!
