Playfactor e

The boys went to the track this morning for a bike ride. D was on his strider again. P's trying to teach him to get some real speed up on the jumps before setting him off on a BMX track on his pedal bike in the hope there'll be less falling off. We went over to Manchester at lunchtime to meet Monster Grandad, Grandma Gillian and Auntie Maddy. Had a lovely meal and then a run about at play factor e. Its a great place. So much to appeal to kids of different ages. L loves the sensory room and spent ages popping virtual bubbles, playing piano and running away from monsters. We all had a few goes on the gokarts... Grandad plonking lily in the footwell instead of on the seat initially! No wonder she looked confused! D didn't stop running about for over 2 hours. He was a rosey cheeked, hot, sweaty puddle of a boy when we came outside, bless him.

P's gone back to London again already. Won't see him again now til this job is done, maybe another 10 days. He's told D that he's the boss now and he's taking his duties very seriously.
