The other day while James was at pre-school I thought I'd try something different with Bekah. I got out some dried pasta, beans, and other random ingredients from the kitchen and took them into the play house to do some "cooking" .... Bekah just looked at me like I was completely insane and got bored very quickly ... *sigh* Oh well, you win some, you lose some ...
James has taken to calling her "The Beck" lately ... maybe that's after David Beckham?! Wonder if that makes James "The Posh" ..... ;0)
It is surprisingly tricky trying to get a photo of a toddler kicking a ball ...
We went to the library on Friday and spontaneously Mummy decided to buy some sandwiches at the shop and have a picnic on the way back. Another fun little excursion.
James was exploring with his magnifying glass and Bekah discovered James' cap in the pushchair basket and so just looked like a little hooligan! ;0)
Bekah was quite intent on picking the dandelion flowers ... she was very determined and was very successful at pulling the heads off ...
The idea with this was to cover the tennis ball in paint and bounce it on the paper to make splats ... I thought James would LOVE this concept.
I only got one photo before we were both completely covered in paint! We did finger, hand painting, feet painting, painting stones and rolling them around, sponge painting ... it was very messy! ;0)
[For those who might be wondering ... Mummy DIDN'T get paint on her under garments ... ;0) ]
Last week we went to a soft play place with Kezia, Auntie Sarah and Uncle Tris as they were still on their holidays. We'd not been to this particular one before and so Kezia could show us the ropes. Plus having Auntie Sarah AND Uncle Tris there meant it was 1 on 1 when it came to the kid to adult ratio!!! I really appreciated the extra help. Thank you!!
Everyone got to have a go on this one - even Kezia and Bekah. Kezia even managed to do an amazing flip half way down ... she started facing forwards and ended up facing backwards ... we're still not quite sure how she did it! ;0) It was very clever anyway!
It's the first time we've been to a soft play place since Bekah has been really walking and so it was good to see her explore.
Although Bekah normally loves balls she was a little overwhelmed by the ball pit .... Can't say I blame her. Kezia and James LOVE it!! I know it looks like James is suffocating Kezia here but he wasn't ... honest!! For the most part he did really well.
The other day Bekah was helping Grandma tidy up some toys and every time she put a toy in the basket Grandma said "Good girl!" ... Bekah quickly caught on and now whenever she puts anything in a basket/box (whether or not it should go in!) she congratulates herself with a "good girl!" Funny little thing!
I never expected to learn so much about cars from my 2 year old son ... When we were at the Doctors the other day James found a car magazine and happily spent our waiting time looking at all the cars! So a few days later I bought him his very own car magazine and have not been disappointed with it's ability to entertain and amuse our car crazy boy! ;0)
(You can't really see it in this picture but you could see the sea just above the hedge here)
Reminds me of a joke ... why did the sea blush? Because the sea weed ..... Sorry ........ ;0)
