The train

Beautiful autumnal morning. I was quite happy to be first up and out with the dog this morning, home to wake the husband and youngest. 

London for what felt like a totally unproductive day, battling to get anything done and taking a lot of energy in the process.  Tomorrow is another day. 

The husband sent me a photo this evening of a message in the eldest's reading record to say he had done really well (and far better than the teacher expected) in his practise phonics check today.  He is trying just so hard, I'm so very proud of him. 

Today I'm grateful for: 
Early morning walk
Great diversion tactics from the boys teacher when I dropped off a very clingy youngest
The eldest working so hard
