The little things.

book sharing monday.
This week Charlie and I have chosen one of our old favourites ''Giraffes Can't Dance'' By Giles Andreae and Guy Parker-Rees. This is just the most gorgeous book, yes ok I know I probably say this about all our books but I wont apologise for being a book lover lol!!
Anyway, the story is about Gerald the very tall giraffe who was not a good dancer and dreaded the 'jungle dance' . But what Gerald discovers one beautiful moonlit night is that when we're different sometimes all we need is a different song to dance to...
The illustrations are lovely and bright and colourful and the rhyming poem is simply fantastic!

bloggers block.
Well I think I may be suffering from ''bloggers block'', I cant really say 'writers block', as if I'm really honest I dont think I actually write very much. I'm kind of in that mood where I'm feeling pretty inadequate as far as blogging goes, as I just dont seem to be able to put down in words just what we actually do together as a family. I love keeping this blog as a kind of diary and even though sometimes we literally dont stop and our life is pretty busy, although not too busy, I struggle to sit and pause and write in an interesting way.
Anyway here's a little glimpse at our days together:
: we go to a lovely steiner parent and child group two mornings a week.
: go for lots and lots of long walks.
: visit open farms.
: try and find steam railways!
Play at home LOTS.
read and just generally really cherish being parents in whatever we do.

Love You Forever, written by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Sheila McGraw.
This is a gorgeous story of a new born baby boy going through the stages of childhood and becoming a man. It's also about the enduring nature of parents love and how it crosses generations. I just LOVE this beautiful book and charlie loves the repetition of the ''love you forever'' verse.

More summer days out.....castles.
At the moment, apart from trains,cars,trucks, diggers etc, Charlie is really interested in castles and knights. He loves to dress up in his crown and cape and disappear into his imagination, where he becomes 'King Charlie', so we've been visiting castles and fuelling his imagination even further. These pictures were taken at Skipton Castle, North Yorkshire.
Warren and I have been thinking of getting Charlie a wooden castle for his 3rd birthday at the end of October, as he loves playing with his few toy knights, I'm thinking that this present would be as much for daddy as for our little crusader!
