We’ve had a pretty creative week. The pinnacle of which was the spectacular creation that is Amy’s Easter bonnet. Who would have thought that a trip to the Huddersfield indoor market would yield sufficient materials for what is sure to be the new craze to sweep the nation.
To be honest I’m looking forward to summer now. The range of indoor activities is starting wear thin and it’s becoming increasingly tempting to switch on Cbeebies when inspiration dries up. It’s a quirk, or even a fault, of mine that I feel the necessity to Do something on each of my days off. If I just kick around the house the time seems to go quicker somehow and I feel that I’ve wasted precious time. These days I’ve added the feeling of guilt that I’m not stimulating Amy too. The logical part of me realises that she finds pottering around the house seeing how much of the floor she can cover with toys just as much fun as driving half an hour or so in order to have an outing. That doesn’t stop me exclaiming, “lets go pot-holing!” as soon as I get my first twinge of boredom.
Hopefully the summer will open out a wealth of new possibilities - such as the park, picnics, and perhaps even trips to the beach.
