Washing Up?

Ben is very interested in EVERYTHING that goes on.  He follows me around while I am doing the most mundane jobs…… such as the dishes.  I decided to pull a chair over and ask him if he wanted to help.  He nearly flew across the room in his hurry to get up the chair.  He had a ball.  Bonnie was getting wet as most of the water ended up on the floor.  I am sure we all have some memory of playing at the kitchen sink as children.    I had forgotten that it is all the little things (like playing in the sink) that make being a kid so much fun!!

Disco Pups

Disco Puppy: Stayin\' Alive brings kids even more funky moves to learn and explore as they interact with art in their very own disco dance party. Movements on the interactive dance floor affect the moves of three animated puppy characters - Pup Daddy, Miss Kitty and DJ Foxy.

The Ipswich Art Gallery has hosted yet another exhibition for children, Disco Puppy.  It’s aim was for children to learn and explore as they interact with art in their very own disco dance party. Dance movements on a special dance floor affect the moves of three animated Disco Puppy at the Ipswich Art Gallery.puppy characters – Pup Daddy, Miss Kitty and DJ Foxy.  The Gallery ran special sessions for under 2’s to enable them to have some fun without the larger crowds.  In these sessions there were other items to explore such as instruments, balloons, a parachute, large pieces of cloth, ribbon sticks and so on.  We took Ben a couple of times.  He did have a little boogie but his all time favorite was the drums!

Ben’s new Playgym

Santa brought a great little climbing playgym setup for Benjamin for Christmas (Little Tikes Wave Climber).

Santa brought a great little climbing playgym setup for Benjamin for Christmas (Little Tikes Wave Climber). Ben was not sure what to do initially but after some assistance and the addition of some little matchbox cars he was set. Later on he explored underneath, climbed up the ladder and got very excited going down the slide.

Thanks Santa !

Maggie’s Fairy Party

IMG_5310.JPGBen’s cousin Maggie had her 3rd birthday.  She had a beautiful  fairy party.  We went shopping and made sure Ben had his wings and his wand.  I thought he  would make a great fairy.  The party was lovely, full of little fairys.  Well…….  Ben put on quite a show, he wasn’t happy.  He is teething but we aren’t sure if it was his teeth or the fairy wings that he was most upset about.   Party food and party games didn’t even make him happy.  We took him home for a nice big sleep and went back in the afternoon (without wings) for a  play with his cousins.
