Obviously for BB, as SB paints a lot. I put paint on BB’s hand and did handprints to cut out for easter cards – now to get SB to do it too. She was fascinated by the paint and its texture. I think I am going to introduce her to a bit of messy play tomorrow. Not with paint, but with perhaps oats and water to squish around. I also was given a birth present that you fill with water and then they can squish around the shapes whilst lying on their tummies, so I’ll excavate that, as I think she may be ready for it. It is sad to reach that stage that cuddling and nuzzling not enough, as I really do like cuddles and nuzzles. My wee baby [LOL] is getting older.
A nursery day for SB, but blogworthy is the fact that after her bath, she decided to go for a bike ride on the drive, in her pjamas [Edit by Chris – even more amusingly it was pitch dark as well :-)]. I think Chris is prob a secret TCS person! Actually I can see a lot positive in it, and I like its challenging thought provoking stance. I am an equilibrium contiuum parent – we are continually trying to find it!
I sorted out those blasted questionnaires, [well nearly, just got to put names on them] going to storm ex-work tomorrow, throw them on the desk and say there, my last pint of blood! or words to that effect!
Summary of the Day: well actually annoyed as spent time doing questionnaires, almost sure for nothing. But one of those days were you notice one of your children has moved on a stage, and that is a bittersweet joy of progression!
Love the template!
Been having those thoughts too. All by other babies have been mobile by 5 months so i’ve really never needed to entertain before but today Josie was definitely bored. Hm! Just what i need… wonder if she is too young for studydog?
Giggle at Chris and his secret TCS-ness I make no secret of my TCS tendencies – don’t get there, but am reassured by the fact that I read once on the list that they reckoned the ideal adult to child ratio was 2 or 3 to 1, so corners have to be cut here for the sake of sanity, lol! It certainly stopped me automatically saying “no” to things and starting to think instead.
