Riding a Bike


As it was such a lovely sunny day on Easter Sunday we decided to let Calleigh play outside. 
We have just finished painting the decking (getting it all ready for summer) so we had to play out on the front. It gave her a lot more space to play and the roads are always quiet, so we decided to let her have a go on her new toddler bike. She has only played with it inside at the moment and hasn't quite got used to pedalling it herself yet so this was the perfect opportunity to try and show her how. 








We had so much fun and she did so well! It wont be long now until she's able to fully ride on her own. 
You can also see on the photo's that she has a band aid on her knee. She feel over the other day outside and got her first little knee graze. So I ran to the store to get her some Dora plasters. 
She loves it! 

Here's a video of her riding her bike :-)

Easter.

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter. 
We sure did! 
Calleigh really enjoyed her Easter Egg Hunt in the morning (and having chocolate for breakfast). I hid the eggs around the house the night before and all the clues inside led her to her basket. She was really happy with what was in her basket but took most interest in the mini magnifying glass. 

As an added bonus it was a really beautiful summer day here so we got to play outside too and she learnt how to pedal her bike (this is coming on another post so look out for that!).

Outfit of the Month: April

 






(Honestly the best photo's I could get! Sometimes she co operates and sometimes, well let's just say she doesn't!)

I absolute love this set, it's such a great outfit for the warmer days we have been getting. Only problem was Calleigh kept pulling the braces down and then back on again haha!

Easy Easter Craft for Toddlers


Today we have been doing a bit of Easter inspired crafting. It's a really easy one but also a very messy one.
 Toddler + Glitter + Glue = Huge Mess!

All I did for this was cut some Easter Egg shapes out of paper and gathered together a handful of things to decorate them with. 
I used colourful bits of paper and shredded them and lots of glitter. Calleigh had a great time playing with the glue and she really enjoyed that I let her do it all herself (as much as I wanted to yank the glue from her hand). 








Clean up wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I do fear that we will be finding glitter everywhere for the next couple of weeks!
