Today we said good bye to the only one leaving for Today we said good bye to the only one leaving for school this year. We had a lovely party and the hanging balloons was a major hit! All the children loved this. Next time I will space them out more as I spent most of the day untangling them! 

She's developed into a confident, independent, kind and and caring person, and she's totally ready for the next stage on her life. 

Ignore the lunch menu! It looks horrific with all those party food treats! My rule, if we have 3 unhealthy options we have just as many healthy options. And almost all the food was gone! We only had lettuce left (no-one but my own little one ate this)

The other week we had a hard morning with our frie The other week we had a hard morning with our friends. So In the afternoon we had no other toys out except this set. 

We spent some time working as a group to make a world for us to play with. The children ages 1, 2 and 4 year olds. Despite the age difference between them we worked amazingly well with each other, we even accepted everyones different ways of playing. 

I enjoyed this group activity, something we haven't done for a while. It was entertaining, enjoyable, accepting of others, lots of communication, cooperation, and kind words of encouragement from them.
