It’s been one of those weeks in this house. You know, the ones that seem to fly past without you getting anything done at all, yet at the same time it drags so incredibly slow in moments you are sure you will never make it to bed time. The Twinadoes and Muski and I went […]
Crazy Baby Songs and Finger Plays
There is nothing better than hearing your baby giggle, and Muski is pretty easy to make giggle. He has the funniest little chuckle and just pulling a face can set him off. But one thing that really gets him going is when I sing or say rhymes with actions. Perhaps he is just laughing at […]
Seuss-love
We are HUGE Dr Seuss fans in this house. We own and love about 25 Seuss books and still have more we’d like to collect! Did you know that Dr Seuss’s full name is Theodor Seuss Geisel and that he wrote under the name Theo LeSieg – ‘LeSieg’ being his last name Geisel spelt backwards! […]

Water Play
Ok so better late than never for another activities post! It has been hot here… really hot today, so hot that even playing outside is not an option so we’ve been doing lots of water play! A lot! What you’ll need… something to put the water in! – we bought these two tubs at the […]
