Sunny day!

Darling Baby Kay, we have had the most glorious weather today. You had your last Jo Jingles of this term - and your last session in the 'Babies' group. In September you move up to 'Toddling to Two' where you will go from being one of the biggest to one of the smallest again! You had a great time at today's class, and everyone came home with a big balloon to play with. You are very suspicious of yours - anything new, or different has to have the required period of close surveillance, without actually touching, before you eventually warm to it. We got you a light plastic football to play with in the garden and you were not sure about that at all at first! Now you are quite happy to push it about and squeak your fingers over the plastic surface!

You have also managed to put the backside clean out of 2 little pairs of trousers this week, from all your bum-shuffling around the floor and the back garden. I am looking forward to you getting onto your feet, if for no other reason than to save the rest of your wardrobe going the same way! You get very excited about being out the back with Daddy, and love having your bare feet in the grass, or pick up little sticks and stones. Now when Daddy gets home from work in the evenings, no matter what the weather you point to the french doors and will not rest until he has taken you out the back for a walk about.

Tomorrow we head up to Belfast to see K and Baby N, who is almost 4 weeks old, and then on Thursday it is off to Carrick to see K and Baby J. It is all go at the moment on the baby front, and this is lovely weather to be bringing them into - lots of lovely days to go out in the pram. Nanny and Granda are back from Bristol from seeing Baby M, and we will try to see them on Thursday too, to see any new photos and hear how their trip went! A busy few days ahead for a little princess!!

Sweet dreams my darling x x

Those baby years are flying by! Don't worry, the teen years drag on and on...maybe it just felt that way with Allie.
That's cool that she likes the feel of the grass on her feet. I know some children do not. You are raising a happy child, Fiona. You should be quite proud. All of the glory goes to the mother when a child is well-adjusted and content. Bask in it!

I'm so glad your little sweetie is enjoying the great outdoors. How sweet that she's got plans for her daddy as soon as he's home☺

How fun to have beatuiful weather. Mary loves going outside too! She picks up rocks and sticks too and brings her treasures to me for safe keeping:) They grow so quickly! Have a wonderful week visiting family and friends, dear friend! Hugs, Elena

Toddling to Two?!? No, no, stop her growing before it's too late!! I love how Baby Kay is so speculative and suspicious of new things; it will serve her well in the future to not just jump in and think about it later... :o)

Hoping Baby Kay is up to a whopping five or six steps today, although once she starts she'll never stop...and I guess that's two pair of trousers that won't be seeing their way to CI.

My mom says, 'we spend the first years of their lives teaching them to walk and talk and the rest of their lives telling them to sit down and shut up!!' Hmmm...maybe I'm supposed to take that personally?!

Love, love, love the pic with Daddy Kay; that's one for the keepsake box. She's looking up at him as if to say, 'oh, Daddy, you are the king of my world. How 'bout if we just sit here and chat for awhile because the more I discover, the safer I feel right here in your lap.'

Hope you had a great day in Carrick and can spend some time tomorrow in recoup. Love to Team K from Team S.
