This week Miss Martha has turned her hand at a few new fun filled activities!
We are very lucky each week to be able to have my Mum come and look after Martha on the couple of days I work. We love this as it gives Martha structure each week and i dont feel like i am passing her from pillar to post. This week however she has been on her holidays and me being me forgot! Ha. This meant I had to juggle a few things around and ask a few friends if they could possibly help out and come to our rescue.
Monday My lovely friend Laura looked after Martha all day, and a great day she had. She got to get her first babycino, have a go at painting in pots of art, had lunch out and then took a trip to the vets to take Dolly the dog. She really was bushwhacked by the end of it all.
On Tuesday morning she spent some time at my best friends house Louise along with her little girl Amelia. Although Miss A was asleep for most of it. This gave Lou and Martha some time to get the play dough out!! First time having a go with it Lou said she wasn’t to sure about the feel at first but soon got into it. When I got this photo it made me smile. Looking at my little girl trying something new and enjoying herself.
On Wednesday we took a trip to town just the two of us and picked up some more fun things we could get stuck into together. Seeing her enjoying all these lovely activities with other people suddenly made me realise my little baby girl is growing and is starting to take an interest in other things. Not just playing with her toys but loves being creative. So we got some chalk, some paints and card and a cake making set.
Once home we sat in the garden and draw with the chalk to our hearts content all over the back patio!!! She thought this was so much fun!!! Looking at me at first as to say Mummy your crazy why are you drawing on the floor!?? Soon she joined in and was scribbling with all her might.
Then yesterday we got the paints out. I honestly thought the attention span on this was a potential 10-15 mins. Just over an hour she sat at the table playing with her paints and creating multi coloured art work. Which I will treasure forever. :-). And I must admit I loved sitting with her doing the same.
And the cakes……..well these are our Sunday afternoon activity. It’s a special Auntie and Nannas birthday next week so they will be made with lots of love for the both of them.
