I try and get out as much as possible with my little boy. He is a bundle of energy at 16 months and sometimes I struggle to keep up with him. We live in the city so its hard to find green spaces nearby where we can just go and spend time within nature but I try my hardset to make sure each day has some nature time.
There is a small park near were we live and even though we tend to go there the most, J never seems to tire from playing in the leaves and bird spotting.
We're away at my mum's house for halloween weekend. Joseph went Trick or Treating with my mum, my sister and me! We only went to two houses, two of my mum's friends. Joseph was happy to get a couple of sweets although he did get an orange at one house.
Store bought costume bought last halloween in the sale for £1.50 reduced from £8! I'm hoping to find one for next year in the sales again if not I might try and make one myself.
J is 16 months and already loves painting. I love the concentration on his face.
View from our balcony. It was a beautiful day, perfect for going on a nature walk. I quickly made J a little bag to collect his bits of nature in. I was aiming for a messenger type bag but since I didn't use a pattern it looks more like a handbag! I used freezer paper to stencil a leaf on to the front and quickly dried it with a hairdryer then ironed the ink to heatset it.
