Today was a great day

Wednesdays are my favourite day of the week (apart from weekends of course). Every Wednesday morning I meet up with the girls I met on the antenatal course while pregnant with Florence. Today we were at Jo's who lives just across the park so we took a walk over, Maxwell mostly enjoyed running at the birds and making them fly off. Though I think he actually wanted to go and see them and was a bit put out that they kept flying off! We got to Jo's and had tea and cake - NOT the ONLY reason for liking Wednesday's so much! Maxwell was a treasure the whole morning and only attempted a tantrum once which I managed to nip in the bud for a change!

After Maxwell's nap we played with his Animal Boogie story sack. The story sack is the most brilliant thing. We got it from the sure start library and it contains a story, a CD of the story, some puppets to go with it and a DVD with dance moves and a warm up/warm down. Maxwell absolutely LOVES it. In fact I'm dreading taking it back to swap for another story! Click here to see a couple of pics of Maxwell doing his warm down!

The other reason for loving Wednesday's is we hang out with one of my oldest (in time I've known her - not age!) friends Mel and her two girls who Maxwell ADORES. We can spend hours with them and he is just occupied and happy the whole time just playing. Today however, they did mix the playdoh colours when my attention was diverted (by more tea and cake in the kitchen) which is enough to give me a nervous breakdown... off to the ELC tomorrow to buy fresh!
