Days out with the two of them are sooooo much easier than days at home (and the house stays tidier!). This time, last year, travelling with my youngest was impossible - he'd only just come out of a phase of still needing his SN buggy and dropping down and refusing to budge in random places. We got pretty stir crazy, at home. We've worn grooves in the village tarmac over the years
They're not the sort to just sit at a park or on a beach doing stuff. Both need to be moving and seeing new stuff (and familiar stuff).
The boys love Dalton park because it's quiet enough to youngest to run and bounce and t'other one likes spending his pocket money on cheap CDs.
As for time for myself, that remains the same whether we're out and about and moving around or sat at home getting on each other's nerves! I'll get some in September!
