Rainbow Rice

This morning we rushed off to music class bright and early. It starts at 9.30 and we walk to it which is lovely. Kids enjoyed the class and we walked the long way home looking for flowers and leaves to feed our new butterflies who came out of their cocoons this morning! Freddie is so excited. 3 are still in their cocoons. Once home I attempted to use the tuff spot for the first time. Last night I had made rainbow rice for a messy play session today. It didnt go quite to plan. Mia was so enthusiastic that she found it hard to share the rice, Fred got upset and refused to play. I enticed him to play a game where I hid objects in the rice and he closed his eyes and had to guess what they were. He enjoyed that but would not get involved in the tuff spot play because he didn't want to play at he same time as Mia. I set him up on the table with play doh and angry birds which kept him amused for a short period. Felt so frustrated that they couldn't share the tuff spot...do I need to buy another?!

This afternoon we met L, C and A for play at the park. It was raining but so much fun. They are so lovely. We played hide and seek and "it" and me and L chatted mainly about food! She shares my interest in nutrition. Also lovely to know another family who attachment parent like us. Very lucky to be meeting such wonderful people! Aunty over again for dinner. I cooked lamb chops, pots and veg and made a ketchup which tasted great and was approved of by both bubs phew! X
