As my daughters grandma said today, If there was a competion for moaning, my daughter would win it hands down every time. This is so true!! whatever you can whinge about she did today. Well this afternoon anyway. I appreciate kids don't want to be active all the time and she'd happily sit and watch dvd's all day if she could but we wanted to get out whilst we had some sunshine left, after all it is set to be very wet for the next week or so ( not complaining!! ) So after we did shopping and swimming this morning ( which she is really coming along with, in my opinion) we had lunch at home and about an hour or so we went for our walk. Not 10 minutes in she started to complain that she was hurting, then she was hot and thirsty. Gave her a drink. Still hot, her head was itchy (due to her hat) etc etc.
I tried to make it fun by trying to guess how many boats there would be on the canal, she was the closest with 7 in the end along the way we counted 16 narrow boats! never seen that many before in one go. And most are nice and give and little way or say hello which is always nice!
We went and searched for butterflies, heard some crickets, watched some bees and dragon flies and had a good day for nature... all around the complaining! Not sure how she manages to fit it all in. However we all made it back in one piece, after stopping at a shop on the way back for a cold drink. We did 3 miles. This doesn't sound alot but it wasn't a straight path and had to carry the pram up some steps. It was nice to get out as a family on a walk though, we don't get much chance to do that, and we proved your legs won't fall off either after 3 miles! lol.
Pity i don't think we can buy her proper walking sandles yet, i know this probably didn't help but it was too warm for trainers or something similar! but finally she is asleep! eczema doesn't look too clever and there are a few new patches :( also little man has a little patch ( and i do mean little) on his leg but something to watch over!
\And it needs to rain soon as its too muggy for little man to be comfortable !
