Nom nom nom...

First hair cut

So, we finally got round to having Madelyn's hair cut! She has been wanting it cut for ages as she had been to the hairdressers with Isabel, Catherine's daughter before. She also knows Emma the hairdresser as Emma's little girl, Maisey, went to Catherine's too. 

When we arrived she ran over to Emma's mum who works there too and gave her a hug. Emma's mum, Maiseys nan, picked Masey up quite often and was really chuffed that Madelyn remembered her, she got a bit choked up and said that she missed her xx 

Madelyn sat really still...

All done! It looks the same really, Emma only took a tiny bit off but she did cut us a longer piece to keep xx

After Madelyn said 'I got hair my face' so Emma gave her a quick blast, which was hilarious!

In the afternoon we went for a really lovely lunch at Zizzis in Harborough. We used a Tesco Clubcard Booster and got £40 voucher for £10 worth of points so our entire lunch only cost us £13! Love it! It was really delicious too. They do a really good bambinos' menu and our food was really tasty too. 

Grandma and Grandpa's

After our break in Swanage we headed to Pat and Bobs for the weekend. Madelyn loved playing on Neve's iPad and playing football with Noah xx

Once they'd left, Madelyn helped Pat in the garden, watering the plants (and the patio a bit too), the garden is great for exploring and we spend a long time running round it with me saying 'be careful' so often that soon Madelyn was saying it to me too. There are lots of different levels and steps and a three tier pond that I was sure she would fall into!

Madelyn was given a scooter by a neighbour and she loves it! She can scoot really well. I think Sue, her childminder, must have one. We thought we'd get her in to good habits from the start and took her to get a helmet... She loved it! She refused to take it off in the car and even fell asleep in her buggy while wearing it xxx

Swanage 2

Madelyn kept asking to go to the beach so we did... Even though it was cold and wet!

The next few days were much nicer. Andy and I went so a bike ride while Madelyn played in the sand with nana and grandad. 

We found a place called Farmer Palmers. We had a great day. There was a really nice mix of things to do, play with and animals to see.

When we got in the car to come home Madelyn was asleep before we had left the car park...

Swanage

At last... The end of term!

This has been a really long and stressful term and we were all really looking forward to getting away. Madelyn was as excited as us...

She packed a bag herself with the toys she wanted to take but then said 'Can't carry it mummy, too much stuff' I know how she felt!

The first few days there were a bit pants weather wise so we went to the oceanarium in Bournemouth. It's a lovely place with some great fish to see, we all had a good afternoon.
