Park life

Attempted a trip to the park to give Pumpkin his first ride out on his new pedal bike. He was a little apprehensive and it was freezing! We didn't get very far and he really struggled with what he wanted to do: go home, stay at the park, go to a different park, play football, he really was all over the place. After I pushed him around a little bit we settled for going home and getting warm. Bean was extra specially amazing. I had a brief chat with him about how Pumpkin wouldn't be able to ride perfectly straight away and it was our job to encourage him and to tell him how well he is doing and show him how to pedal. Bean did a great job and even showed Pumpkin that he was peddling backwards too (which is all Pumpkin managed on the peddling front)

The rest of the day was spent telling stories. The boys found the recording facility on my phone and recorded a story each. Bean's big plan is to make it into a book and sell it in a shop in town. He's recorded the story and drawn two of the pictures so far.
Pumpkin has recorded a story and we drew one picture together and then he drew two more. The books are not yet finished but both seem keen to complete them.

There was also Lego building, den building, adding an extension to the den, building with bricks, more globe investigations and torch play.

Plum is continuing to find her way around the kitchen, the fridge seems to be a favourite.
