This day I love.......

This time last year I had finished my last run and had started physio for the damage to my abdominal muscles.  I was really starting to feel the weight of pregnancy and whilst enjoying it, it was starting to hurt.  I cannot believe that that was a year ago and I now have a beautiful blue eye baby boy.  


This past month seems to be all about his personality developing.  He has such a curious and inquisitive soul.  A pure adventurer at heart.  Little Man does not want to be picked up, or strapped into something, he wants to be exploring.  His crawling has become very quick these past few weeks.  In addition to crawling he can now pull himself to standing and loves nothing more than climbing up things, or crawling through tunnels.  


We have been on our first holiday abroad and he loved spending time with all his family.  The flight was no problem, he slept the whole way, the only issue we had was he did not want to wear his seat belt and kept undoing it!  He smiled at everyone he saw and seemed to relish all the attention he got.  


He has begun talking and making sounds.  Trying to copy 'Hiya' when he sees someone and says 'oggie' when he sees the dogs.  He says 'dada' and 'gaga' and when tired says 'gollagollagolla' no idea why.


For the first time Little Man is now in clothes for his age, and above.  He now wears 9-12 months clothes having missed size 6-9 months.  He loves his food and in particular finger foods.  His other love is water and gains so much enjoyment from splashing.


I am really excited to see what the next month holds and watch his character develop further.

The girls are showing a real interest in the minute in growing plants.  They were given a bag of seeds and are desperate to plant them.  This curiosity has expanded into how do plants grow, and we have been having fun exploring this.

A recent delivery of a rainy pot from Red Candy, has allowed us to explore this further.


We chose a blue pot for our rainy pot, but there are other colours available.  Everything needed [except soil, seeds and water] are included in the box and there is minimal assembly. 


The rainy pot can be hung on the wall or stood on its own.

We decided to do something a little fun for Easter.  The girls know that for a plant to grow it needs a substance like soil to grow in.  However as this was a magic Easter plant we needed some flour. 


Once full it was then time to plant our special Easter seed [small chocolate egg for us big people].


For a plant to grow it needs water and our special cloud helped us with this.  The cloud takes a maximum of 80ml of water.


The special rainy pot then casts its magic and rains on our plant, as plants need water to grow


The girls left their special Easter plant out over night for the Easter bunny to wave his magic.  Next morning when the girls woke up


Our Rainy pot had grown a special Easter treat!

The girls were incredibly impressed and are now really eager to plant flowers in our Rainy pot!

Thanks to Red candy for sending us a rainy pot for this post.  All words are my own opinion.
