Carol's ramblings

Babysitting - day 1

Early start, Caleb came over to spend the next couple of days with us, so 7:30 start.

After breakfast, took a trip to The Living Rainforest in Berkshire, an interesting, informative and educational place. Caleb wanted to look into every cage/pen, and asking “dandad, me see” holding his arms up to hubby. A real collection of animals, some birds wandering freely in the different area and a reported sloth, however we were not successful in spotting her (even though they pointed out where she was). A run around (and a few falls) in the park area, drink and snack and it was back in the car to go home. Not surprisingly, Caleb fell asleep in the car, and I managed to lift him in and in to bed to continue his nap. The trip to the shop was successful, he has a fascination of dinosaurs, so this soft toy was ideal :)

After his nap, playtime. It became apparent that we don’t have suitable toys (all baby/very young), so the colouring pencils and bubbles came out. If it wasn’t torrential rain, we would have taken him over the park. He found my boots and decided to put them on (wrong feet) and walk around with his dinosaur :)

Tea time went ok (eventually) and he went to bed without any problems (2 books read, cuddle and settled into the travel cot).

Fingers crossed for a good night ......

It’s a way of life, that’s a full part of me :)
