Sing and Sign

Being able to read Honey's mind would be awesome sometimes but since I don't have any psychic abilities, sing and sign seemed like the next best thing! We were lucky enough to get a place on a free taster session at Whole Foods and learnt some really useful signs to repeat with Honey at key times throughout the day. Honey had fun playing with the toys and instruments provided by Laura while listening to us sing.

Monkey Music

I wasn't sure what to expect from Monkey Music at The Play Farm but I needn't have worried, it was like being in an episode of a kids TV show, a-ma-zing! Sian sang us through the seasons with a weather themed session where we looked for Monkey, built towers and went for a walk in the rain. Honey smiled and laughed her way through the class and will definitely be going back, especially now that she has her very own Monkey T shirt and a CD of Monkey's favourite songs to listen to at home!

Ready for a close up...

We were thrilled when Honey was chosen to have her photo in the 'Welcome to the World' section of Your Cotswold Family's Winter edition! It's such a great magazine for anyone with kids whether you live in the area or not. As well as information about local activities and events, there are also lots of competitions and interesting, useful articles about family issues. There are also loads of gorgeous clothes featured in the magazine, all modelled by local children and many of the shoots are done at local landmarks, go Cotswolds! Honey instantly took to Tara (the magazine editor) and Anne Marie (the photographer) and was soon flashing a range of expressions for the camera, what a fabulous experience!

Splish Splash

Given our backgrounds in the leisure industry, my husband and I were keen for Honey to feel happy in the water. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to have a water birth but we did take her swimming for the first time when she was 7 weeks old and have continued to take her regularly ever since.  Honey's favourite thing to do is to float around in her pink seat and gabble away at anyone who passes her while our favourite thing is to play ring o ring o roses and we all know how that ends...
