Last night was Aaron’s first KS2 Carol Service at School. We managed to sit on the 2nd row just in front of him, so could see him throughout! This did make him a little nervous! haha. He sang a little bit and yawned through some songs (as usual!) but he seemed to enjoy it enough. It was hot in there so we could see him getting a bit hot as well, which probably contributed to the yawning. His class sang 1 song on their own and then others with the other classes and audience. It was quite nice and Christmassy!

This morning, we had to go to assembly again as Aaron had achieved his next Gold merit award and also his level 3 reading certificate. Well done, Aaron, for working so hard!! 😉

Last Friday at Beavers, Aaron was helping to sand and paint a Christmas Tree made out of a pallet. I went along and helped as well for the session, along with some other Dads. The pallet Christmas Trees had been made already outside of Beavers by some Dads who were carpenters, so they were all ready to be sanded down and then painted. Aaron and I managed to get our own tree to begin with, but then some of the other Beavers in Aaron’s lodge helped out until the green paint ran out. We managed to finish off the entire front of the tree by the end of the session but didn’t get to paint all of the back of the tree unfortunately. Also, some of the other Beavers managed to get green paint on the star, which was slightly annoying as I would have bought that tree for sure if it was just myself and Aaron that had worked on it. Aaron had good fun and enjoyed the painting and I managed to get him to do nice smooth strokes, but had it all over him by the end! Next week, they are going to be decorating the tree and Kelly is staying to help with that! 😉

Last Friday after School was the annual Christmas Fayre. It was heaving in there but the boys had fun and played a few of the games and won a lot of chocolate and sweets and had some candy floss! The best game they did was the Nerf shooting one, which they were all good at. Coby also made a Christmas Card and Ben went off on his own with a friend with his money to spend. Kelly and I were glad when we left though! 😉

Whilst Aaron was eating his tea last week, his tooth came out and he swallowed it! Oh dear!! He didn’t notice until he started to chew another mouth full of food when he realised his wobbly tooth had gone. Obviously, he didn’t have a tooth to put under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy, so he wrote a note instead and the Tooth Fairy eventually came and left him £1, so he was very happy!
