Joining in with TheBoyAndMe and her linky 365 Project “A Photo A Day, Every Day, For A Year!” Project 365 – Week 2 – Days 5 – 11
Day 5 – Sunday
A trip to Docklands, The London Boat Show and the Royal Victoria Docks. We had a great day out, Monkey was on top form, lots to see and keep him entertained. The weather was kind to us and it only started to rain once we were on our way home – result!
Day 6 – Monday
I bought this for Monkey for Christmas and we’ve put it on our fridge door. He absolutely loves it and as soon as we’ve finished breakfast he asks me to help him update his calendar. We’re working really hard on number and letter recognition and this is helping so much, and in a fun way. He takes so much interest in the weather now. We have to update the weather section each time he comes home from school if it’s changed. I love it, he loves it.
Day 7 – Tuesday
First day back to Nursery School and it poured down with rain, even with umbrella’s we got rather wet. The playground was flooded, please wear your waterproof trousers if you play outside today Monkey!
Day 8 – Wednesday
Meet Biff, one of Monkey’s birthday presents. Biff is a Sorgenfresser Worry Eater. I love the idea of these and have wanted Monkey to have one for ages. He can’t write his worries away yet, but I’m using it to help with his language and to get him to open up more. It’s working already. He loves that Biff leaves him messages, and asks him questions. He will tell Biff things he won’t have told me voluntarily. I can see Biff being a firm friend in the years ahead.
Day 9 – Thursday
If there’s some way of getting in on the action Brewster will find it! If you won;t let me play with the train track, I’ll sit in the train box instead! Trains are a big part of our lives, we all love trains here.
Day 10 – Friday
Going back to Nursery School has taken its toll this week on Monkey. He’s really struggled with tiredness and temper tantrums. He decided he’d have a few minutes more sleep in Mummy’s bed whilst I was getting dressed. Obviously his harem came too, again!
Day 11 – Saturday
The sun came out and off we went to explore Wendover Woods for the first time. We enjoyed the Stick Man Trail and jumping in muddy puddles. It was so great to get out in the fresh air for a few hours. ‘Mummy – that was so much fun!’ – great end to the week 🙂
I love the calendar, my daughter uses on similar at school and I would love one for home
It’s one of his best presents, he’s getting so much out of it and learning without realising it too
Love the calendar x
It’s great, am so pleased I got it
I love those calendars. Extra snooze time is always good.
Indeed! He has needed it too
puddles were made for jumping in, especially by boys. The calender is a great idea and as you say helps with reading, recognition, continuity and days of the week, brilliant pressie.
Full time is tiring but why do they always have to bring all the toys as well?
He’s been giving me lessons on puddle jumping today – hilarious
Love the picture of him in your bed – whenever Ethan comes through to us he brings with him an arm load of teddies too!
They all come downstairs too now!
ooooh i love that calendar i must google for one as i know my two would LOVE to have one! some lovely photos but my fav is the puddle splashing – what fun! x
I can really recommend it – going to do a blog post I think. Nothing quite like jumping in muddy puddles
Love the docklands photo – very dramatic! My son had one of those calendars – the date ran from 2004-09!
I found this specifically because it didn’t have the year issue!
Aww Biff looks ace and a great idea too! Your day out in London was full! #Project365
Worry Eaters are great, big fan here. Days Out here always seem that way
We love Wendover woods, have spent hours there as it is close to my Mum.
We had such a good time, will be back soon I’m sure as not too far from us
Rosie wants that Calendar after her cousin got one for Christmas. LCD the puddle jumping one too
It’s really good
That calendar looks great, and I love the idea of Biff x
They’ve both been great presents
Love the muddy puddles!!!!
So did Monkey!
That calendar looks brilliant, not surprised Monkey is loving it. Must get a worry eater too, they look they’d be so much fun 🙂
The calendar is fab, going to write a post about it I think. Worry Eaters are a great concept, Monkey gets messages from Biff and is telling him lots of things – love it
i love the idea of a worry eater!! how super cool Mary x
I really like this idea, we’re using it to improve language and communication skills at the moment. He’s been an instant hit
Lovely photos! I think the worry eater is brilliant!
He is fab
That calendar is fab! They have one at Miss C’s nursery. Love Brewester sitting in the box. My cats do that too.
It’s a big hit here, and Brewster does sulk if he isn’t included in playtime
Ah, love the jumping in muddy puddles 🙂
We had a calendar like that, but I think I gave it to my daughter when she was too young for it and she’s lost half the months :\
That’s the only worry – I keep a firm guard over it!
Can’t beat a good bit of puddle jumping! I like the worry-eater, what a great idea.
Thanks for linking up to Project 365.
I know – puddles can provide endless amusement
Hi… i just saw that you do project 365 and was wondering if maybe you were interested in joining our small group of women who have been doing it for about 3 years together now. I made a blog (which is rather lonely http://dailysnappers.blogspot.co.uk) or our facebook group can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/250193761810079/ its a closed group, but if you ask to join i will approve you 🙂 would be lovely to see you over there.
Thanks for the invite, I’m not sure I’d do a photo post on the blog every day, but will try to add on the Facebook group. Do you link up on twitter with the days topic as a # too?
