Giraffes!

Today was a great day.

I had an awful sleep last night, you know that kind where your arm goes numb or you sleep in one position too long or awkwardly and wake up sore? Yeah that was me.

So I was a bit of a grump first thing, i decided maybe i should stay home and do sensory activities with my babies, I mean it wasn't their fault i was feeling the way i was. I didn't want their day to be over there and then.

I went on to prepare lots of activities, a few that we've done before- goop and jelly but I did a couple of new ones which you can see here

Before we did these though I thought, actually, i promised the boys we'd go look for the giraffes in town so we went for a walk with my father in law.

We had a great time and found 10 dotted around the inner city, there are 99 in total so I think we did well. I have an app on my phone that automatically ticks it off when you visit one, it also gives you info on the artist and the giraffe.


The boys loved touching each one, looking at the different patterns and pictures on them. It was a nice idea to get out of the house, get some fresh air and sunshine.

I'm really pleased that I could fill up their day, I felt a lot better after a walk it seemed to stretch me out so when we got home we were all feeling good and relaxed to do some sensory things.

I want to create happy memories for my boys and nourish them any way i can!

I apologize for the slip in blips this week Marley had sedation on Thursday for dental work- they couldn't achieve it as he was un cooperative and squirmy even under sedation. So now he'll be referred to the hospital for general anesthetic in the next 6 months. He was pretty funny though while sedated like a little drunk- hiccups and rambling!
