water and foam sensory play

Hay lovies 

Taylor loves water if she had the choice park or bath she would pick bath any day of the week (OK well maybe not every time but she really does love water)

I've been working on more sensory play with her. I want to teach her and let her experiment  with new textures smells and sights.

This week we set up a water box on her aqua draw mat 

We had a bucket spade rake and sea creature shapes that we got for just £1 from the pound shop also some glass beads they cost 89p and some paint brushes she has from an art set 

Taylor ohhh'ed and squeaked  when she caught eye of what we were doing she poured and scooped and raked and filled learning new  words as well as the new texture of all the water on the plastic and glass pebbles 

Once she started losing interest (that took a whole hour) we pulled out the shaving gel moved the box of water to one side and covered the aqua draw mat with it. 

Taylor really enjoyed this drawing in the foam and trying to stand up and slipping over had both her and me and mark cracking up she also took a liking to painting her self with it too after daddy showed her how fun it was 

Picking up the glass pebbles was more tricky now they are covered in foam this took more concentration now but every time one slips out of her hand she let out a delightful giggle 

Words like slippy,shiny, tickle,brush,draw,wobble and mess were just some of the ones Taylor learnt while playing with shaving foam 

Over all this was really fun easy to clean up i just popped the aqua draw mat in the bath and showered it off and its as good as new. We had a blast and it was amazing watching Taylor learn so much in just two hours. let me know if you do things like this with you're children id love to see others ideas

wonder, toddler, and ttc.......

hay lovelies

living in north wales i look around me and see all the wonder all the mountains the rivers and the sea the forests  and wonder i wonder about nothing and everything all at once some times its like i forget I'm an adult i look around me at all these wonderful things and places and wonder... does anyone else see the world the way i do? does anyone else imagine beautiful photographs appearing before their eyes. does anyone want to let the inner child go and run free make dens and climb trees make believe fairies are real and collect shells on the beach maybe I'm like this because sometimes things get hard and things get on top of me as they do in every life and i don't think enough people let go of the tension. i strongly believe we should all look around ourselves more and take in the beautiful things we walk on by everyday tell me what do you see in the world you live in.

 

 

 

this was the amazing view me and Taylor had the luxury of seeing yesterday while eating our picnic ill views like this never get old and its lovely that i get to spend time making memories with Taylor in places like this we ate sandwiches played on the park close by and walked for miles it was a wonderful day.

my baby is growing so fast she loves music, singing, bath, time, exploring, crafting, painting and many many more things i love the little girl she is becoming she surprises me and makes me laugh smile and makes my heart melt everyday.

 

 

and this little girl discovered puddles yesterday it was so sweet watching her get all excited about the splash her feet made when she stomped

 

and well as for ttc as far as we know were doing everything right i feel pregnant but all the tests are saying no :( but I'm not due my monthly's until the 28th so time will tell if not this month maybe a Christmas present will be amazing hehe

making time.....

hay my creative curves out there

 

last night i finally got around to starting a project ok ok well i didn't get far but it was like 11:30pm when i started it but I'm pleased to say its going well and fingers crossed it stays that way.

 

between running the home cooking cleaning and running around after my toddler I'm shattered by the end of the day so Ive been motivating myself to do something rather than just sit around and read blogs all night. by the way don't you think Taylor looks super cute in knits :) i think I'm going to enjoy this winter.

oh and having a little mini that likes sleeping in the big bed don't help the being tired thing ether but its cute and we really don't mind it but i do think she is ready for a big bed x

but i will miss waking up to this little face every morning how cute is she here i loves her little nose.

 

i also thought it was about time i introduced you to my godson he is super cute and only tiny but i cant get enough of him little Oliver-James he is 8days old today hasn't that gone fast feels like only yesterday my best friend Emma had him crazy huh his mummy is doing an amazing job handling life with two under 2  so well done Emma <3 xx
