So far he has been to a local zoo, walking in a forest and a soft play area. We have taken him to a few parks in between and our local sensory room and visited a few friends as well but we're looking for our next adventure.
I have big plans for my son's birthday but till then I want to keep the momentum going. I have wanted to take him to an aquarium for some time now but it's a matter of finding a local one and there is also a bunch of stuff I want to do with him when he's older like fruit picking and creating a drive in cinema in our lounge, making gingerbread houses etc. Is it just me but are activities limited if your baby is under 1? My son is an explorer, he loves to be outside and he loves to know what everything is and why and what is does and if it drops on the floor if anything happens. Has anyone else found this problem?
My son knows when I'm recycling the same old day and I can tell he is bored too, wanting to do more than just sit at home or be pushed about in a pushchair while mummy points at things. My son is desperate to walk but for the meantime he is still very much a hand holder which also makes things hard. Whilst our local Childrens' Centre is good for a quick fix with the sensory room and some free classes, I have had to find new books for my son to read till I can figure out what else we can do. My son absolutely loves Happy Dog, Sad Dog by Sam Lloyd
and the old classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
My husband says it's mainly the way I read it but getting a giggle and seeing my son want to read them gives me hope that whereever we take him next it will feel like when we read him his favourite books. Can you recommend any to me? What did you love to read when you were little?
