Playtime and Rest

Eve happily sleeping, in an amusing position on the sofa

On Sunday morning Eve woke up at 7.30am - a lovely weekend lie in for me, which was most appreciated. Daddy and I had gone out for 'date night' (the first time since November last year), and were both feeling a bit worse for wear. Eve was such a good girl and played happily in the lounge whilst it poured with rain outside. After giving her breakfast and playing with her for a couple of hours I felt pretty tired so I told her to be a good girl whilst I had a little sleep on the sofa. I woke up an hour later to the sound of Daddy coming downstairs. It was so quiet that I immediately wondered where Eve was. Somehow, she had turned off the tv and had gone to sleep on the sofa next to me. She remained there having a nap for the next 2 hours.

It continued to rain all day. Sam and I were pleasantly surprised with Eve, who played all day long in the lounge and kitchen. She seemed to know that we couldn't go outside and was happy being there with us and didn't get bored at all. 











She enjoyed watching music video's, singing and dancing and has also just learnt how to jump in the air. This morning she was having a great time walking about on her tip toes, which was funny.

Waybuloo

Lately most evenings, when Eve and I arrive home from nursery, we often watch Waybuloo on the CBeebies channel. Eve likes to watch the children as they run along the pathways through the woodland scenery. We then attempt to copy them and practice yoga positions.

We like watching Zingzilla's and Postman Pat in the mornings, with another of our favourites being Cloud Babies. Postman Pat is of course a classic, and I enjoy watching it. It brings back fond memories from my own childhood. I was a huge fan of Rainbow Brite and the Care Bears when I was small so Cloud Babies is definitely a great replacement. One of Eve's favourite songs to sing is 'Twinkle, Twinkle little star' and I can tell that she really likes Cloud Babies, especially when they put the stars to bed.

Zingzilla's is fun; they are a band and play world music. It's great for Eve to be able to discover different styles of music and dance along with it.

Zingzilla's

Yesterday Daddy took Eve to Arnos Vale Park in the morning before nursery. This girl loves the park so much! On the whole she is such a good girl, but does throw a tantrum occasionally. This is always when she's enjoying doing something and is then told that she has to do something else or go somewhere. Last week she had a big bump on her head. She had been taken to the library in Knowle on a nursery trip and had thrown her head back and banged it on a book case when they told her that she had to leave the library. I am glad that she is passionate about things and gets so involved with what she is doing. We are still trying to teach her to be patient and understanding when things have to change.
