Little feet

Anyone who knows me well knows I love shoes! Today I have 3 little boys with me ( a new boy who is only doing 1 day a week has joined us) so I couldn't resist taking a snap of their little shoes all lined up-SUPER CUTE!

From a young age I show the babies and children where to put their shoes neatly and I ask them to go and get their own shoes when we are going out, it's always a good opportunity to count, feet, shoes and toes! It's also so important for them to learn which things belong to them and also to help develop independence. But meantime while the boys nap I'll just have a moment going 'ahhhhh' over the cute little feet.

Leaving party!

One of my long term children left this week to go to school! A bittersweet week for me (sob sob), obviously I am so proud of her that she's ready and confident to go and be a big girl at school, but I'm really missing our little conversations and most of all her cuddles! For the leaving party she and I went to the shops and she chose some treats, we played Musical bumps, Musical statues, Simon says, The Bean Game and this fun game where you thread hula hoop crisps onto a string for them to eat! Very messy but SO much fun! Lots of giggling!! She has loved going to school so far and has sent us messages to say she's happy there which is brilliant. We will hopefully see her often as she doesn't live too far away, and anyway my girls adore her so they will be begging to see her!
