Mum's The Word - September 13, 2016
Regular readers might recall a while ago, William helping me to show prospective buyers around our house when we put it on the market.
Well, his sales skills obviously worked – and the sold sign soon went up outside our home.
And so Friday was moving day.

He rediscovered his old toys – slowing down the packing process somewhat, as he wanted to play with each one! – and he was quite put out that he was now too big to sit in his bouncer chair.
William enjoyed boat rides around the house, in empty boxes and loved playing hide and seek behind a tower of them.
He even helped to fill the boxes and happily packed his own toys up ready for the move.

In fact, he loved filling boxes and sealing them up so much, he even asked for his own box to put two cars in, taped it up – and took it out with us when we went to do some shopping.
Now... I wonder if he’ll help us unpack!
