Play

My wish is for Aidan’s childhood to be enriching so we experiment and explore the world as if it’s our playground. Here I’ll be sharing activities, adventures and special quiet moments of play.

On Tuesday 15th May 2012 I decided to film everything I did that day for my entry in this weeks Kidspot Ford Territory Top 50 Bloggers Competition prompt “Day in my Life”. It was a huge day but an even bigger drama trying to get the video uploaded. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek [...]

Last month we added two more peeps to our family unit. Steve thought Aidan was more than ready to have his first pet, I on the other hand disagreed and knew that within a few weeks they would become my pets to care for. I sent Steve and Aidan out for dog food one Saturday [...]

My parents live in a beautiful place only 3 hours away from our house. Every Thursday night we look at each other, mentally doing our accounts and working out a timeline in our heads. Could we manage to steal away for a few days and give Aidan some downtime with his Grandparents? Could we manage [...]

Sponsored by Nuffnang  Last week I shared that BigW had sent me a $100 gift card to buy Aidan some new clothes (keep reading for the chance to win one for yourself!) and that we had gone out and picked up two spunky, affordable outfits that will see him into the cooler months ahead. What [...]

Sponsored by Nuffnang Last week was rough, actually the last few weeks have been. Our little family is adjusting to changes, we’re growing, exploring and quite often we’re tired too. I’m still getting used to my domestic routine and spending more time with my camera, Steve’s trying to deal with new work challenges and Aidan [...]

Aidan started going to swimming lessons again with Steve as his support person. He was nervous at first but as soon as he saw the water he was so excited. Steve was a little nervous too as he’s not a great swimmer but you couldn’t tell. You couldn’t wipe the smile off their faces. It [...]

Aidan and I play all day long but there is one particular part of the day that gets us both pretty excited. After watching his favourite show on ABC2 “Mr Maker” (think along the lines of “Art Attack”) we try and recreate whatever he did that day. If I don’t have the supplies we still [...]

It’s been a week and Aidan’s potty training is going great guns. All his 1′s & 2′s are on the potty, most without our assistance or reminders and he’s now also nappy free at nap time which took me by surprise. He just simply asked not to wear a nappy, I was on edge for [...]

Last week I got a lovely tweet from @traceytakesphotos offering me two tickets to go and see The Wiggles 20th Birthday Concert in the big tent at the Castle Hill Showgrounds. Tracey won four tickets in a Digital Parents competition and it was so nice of her to share them with us, especially as we’d [...]
