Sunderland Air Show 2014

So seeing as James is 23 months old and totally obsessed with planes. We decided to go down to Sunderland air show. We were planning on staying all afternoon but it was just too hot and after being crammed so tight on the metro that we couldn't even drink a bottle of water, we were feeling a bit ill, we ended up leaving after a couple of hours and didn't see the red arrows :( But what we did see was absolutely amazing. 

First up we saw the RAF Falcons Parachute display team and oh my god they were amazing! The way they controlled the parachutes in the movements was amazing.

We then saw some of the older aircrafts I think they were called Brettlings n they were flying in brilliant formations. Even though by this point I was feeling really hot n bothered I still managed to take some ace photos of them.

We then saw an RAF Typhoon do its stunts. This one was so loud it literally made me jump and made my ears hurt. The noise didn't seem to bother James which I found really odd. You could see the orange from its engines when he fired them up!

After the Typhoon we saw the Blades display team. This was one of my favorite things we saw at the airshow. The way they were flying the planes and stunts they were doing were brilliant! Since watching them at Sunderland I have started following them on twitter and looking at videos of them on you tube.

There was then a helicopter display which I didn't get any photos of as by this point I was feeling really ill and we left the seafront and walked back to the metro.

If we go next year I will take lots more water and be more prepared hopefully the weather won't be as hot as this year!! 

The Banardos Big Toddle

Wow I can't believe its taken me this long to write about the Big Toddle that James did with Toddler group last month!! We decided as it was a nice day we would walk to Toddlers and James would go on his trike.

Normally when James is outside you cannot stop him running around and generally causing mischief, but this day James well he did not want to toddle. He wanted daddy to carry him round the course which of course we couldn't do so Andy basically had to drag the poor boy around.

Eventually on the last few hundred yards we decided to do the whole one two three swing and he loved it. He even got a medal at the end. 

We will find out in the next few weeks how much money our group raised.

Terrible Twos

Soit's official my sweet innocent son has become a little devil!

James turns two a week on Tuesday and he is well into full on tantrum mode. He has a tantrum about virtually everything and he thinks if he flashes his little smile he will win us all over.

Today's tantrums started before we even left the house. He didn't want a nappy change, then he didn't want his clothes on. But as soon as he knew he was going to see nana and gaga he soon forgot and let us dress him and get him into his buggy.

Tantrum two was leaving Burger King as he needed a nappy change and didn't want to go back into the buggy, he wanted nana to carry him which on this occasion she did. He was as good as gold as he got his own way.

Tantrum three again he didn't want to get back in his buggy after his nappy change, again he wanted nana to carry him but this time she said walk or buggy and James kept going I walk I walk then suddenly wanted a carry again. We eventually got out Fenwick in one piece after mummy purchased part of a birthday present, then as we got out the lift James decided to hit the alarm button argh que cross mummy! Finally we bribed him back into buggy with his drink. 

Tantrum four oh that was a biggie. My dad's just got a new car and well James being James is totally obsessed with it. As soon as he knew he was going into the car he was a happy boy but once we got to tesco and he had to get out the car and go back into his buggy to go home ohh boy tantrum Central! He was screaming his head off shouting I stay here I stay here. Took both me and my dad to get him into buggy and strapped in. He then screamed the whole way through car park and onto metro. He only stopped when he realised he was nearly home and he would see daddy.

He crashed out not long after five but has been waking up every so often for a cuddle as the high winds we are having here tonight keep waking him up.

This is James right now crashed out next to me in the big bed!!!

Haven't blogged in ages

Yikes I kinda lost my blogging way. 

I have a number of posts in draft ready to post but finding time with a toddler in terrible twos has really taken up my time.

James is about to turn two and we are taking him to milkshake live party party! I think mummy is more excited though!!
