Daddies Club

Saturday mornings - one of my favourite mornings of the week.

Much as I love the wee man and his early morning antics - currently the building and re-building of the wooden multi-parted 'ni-nonk' (thats the Ninky Nonk, for those of you familiar with In The Night Garden out there) accompanied by several 'nooooo's' when I try and put something in the wrong place, and squeals of delight as I've finally finished constructing it and he immediately pushes it over (mummy it's 'crashed') - it is nice to know that he is off to spend some quality time with his Daddy, while the bump and I get a couple of hours to ourselves. And with the weeks passing quickly and the emergence of bump to baby growing ever more imminent, I'm savouring it while I can!

Daddy and the wee man negotiate the 'big step', before grabbing the tricycle and trying to avoid the cowering, terrorised cat (well Daddy tries to avoid it, anyway) on the way out of the garden, on their way to the local children's centre. This week Daddies Club is at Little Oaks, and since its not raining there is every possibility that there may be garden play - the wee man's favourite. The Children's Centre has the cosy coupe cars which are his current obsession (albeit the fact that he has,as yet, only figured out how to 'drive' them backwards), a climbing frame and slide and a play house with mini kitchen, all of which the wee man currently loves. There is also the opportunity to visit the sensory room, a dimly lit cavern of fibreoptic lights, flashing bath ducks, UV sticks, lava lamps, a hanging mosquito net and bells, sticks, whistles and bashy things that are guaranteed to result in hours of fun.

Then later, refreshed and hopefully with a bit more energy, its time for us to tackle today's task - procurement of wellies for all that puddle splashing the wee man seems to have taken to.
