Wow, After 2.5 years Nyah had her first full day at playgroup. She has been going for the last 6 months or so on a Thursday with Nikki but this was the first time this week that she would be there from 09:30am til 3pm Monday and Wednesday then 09:30am til 12pm on a Friday all by herself, a serious milestone in the May Family.
Obvious parental concerns about leaving your daughter at playgroup for the very first time are only natural, not been in control of what she does, who shes with and the learning curve that comes with it is quite daunting. The four of us dropped Nyah off at just before 9am. She looked cute with her Dora backpack and her lunch box! As soon as she got there she put her stuff in the usual place and went straight over to paint. She turned back for a milli second to say bye but then that was it, on with her apron and brush in hand away she went. (We had the pictures at the end of the day to show how much she enjoed it).
After speaking to the teacher who runs it, she Nyah was great. She had had a couple of accidents with No.1's but she said that is only natural as there is so much to do she didnt want to miss out on anything. She asked for Nikki at about 2pm a couple of times but then she just carried on playing til Nikki picked her up at 3pm. Nyah absolutely loved it, she told us all about it when she got home, who she played with and what her best bits where. Its a great reassurance to know she enjoys it and already after the first week you can see how she is developing so its exciting times ahead. The other plus is that Nikki now gets to spend some real quality time with Ciara, which she did last week.
For the first time I also went out on the new bike, wow its awesome. I just love it! The bike just glides despite going into a head wind pretty much all ride. I did 35 miles and felt really comfortable apart from the last 8 or so miles where I got a slight twinge in my left knee. Going to hit the turbo before the wife makes me sit down and watch X Factor so will see how it is. Bought a new cateye wireless cadance speedo. It mounts to the rear frame and records the speed of the back wheel which is great because it records your soeed and distance when on the turbo which I aming to do quite a bit on between now and xmas.
We also caught up with my Grandma and Grandad. My Grandma hasnt been the best of health recently which has resulted in her struggling with her balance and feeling very dizzy. This has been ongoing for about 3 months now and for the first time in a long while she had been into town with my grandad. Considering how she has been I was really surpirsed at how well she looked. What I love as well is the fact they are in their 80's but they both always look imaculately dressed and the house looks as modern and clean as a Charles Church show room. They really are the generation and model grand and great parents to look up to and to aim to be like. They still have that twinkle in each others eye when they look at each other, it really is great to see. I think them both seeing the girls as well and how much they have grown was a great boost for them both, even though a little tyring!
After visiting them we then headed with my Mum and Dad and Sarah to Hull Fair. What a site that is, well especially from the big wheel. Thought I would be absolutley fine but that is seriously high up and did make me cling to the side railings. Nyah absoultely loved it though, and she loved the merry go round, the trains, the helter skelta and the wackey fun house! We couldnt get her off some of the rides.
Well another week comes to an end, a busy one next week with recruitment fairs with Newcastle Uni at Newcastle FC and meetings so main objective for my training is to do:
- One session of chest & triceps
- One session of Back and Biceps
- One session of legs and shoulders
- 50 miles on the bike (turbo trainer)
Big focus on the diet this week and looking forward to another biking accesary purchase with my Turbo Trainer which comes into stock at Evans on Friday.
How could I forgot, No matter what happens this next week we will have a new addition to the Thurlow family. Heres wishing Anoushka and Ben all the best for the begining of the week and their new addition................................
