34: 'Swinging' (The Boy learnt to pull himself up into his swing and then swing himself! All by himself! I'm so proud of him. He sat there happily swinging along while Mr. TBaM and I watched from our respective paused activities.)
35: 'Not Quite So Roar-y' (Quite possibly the most useless ride-on ever; cost £1 for a minute and barely moved. I'm not sure who was more unimpressed; me, mum or The Boy.)
36: 'The Paradise' (I had great fun creating this small world play beach for The Boy and he had great fun plopping the mummy and daddy into the sea. We made a miniature sandcastle and had a mini game of football with the Playmobil figures.)
37: 'Hopeful!' (We've been sent a Groclock for review and we started using it on the weekend after quite frankly the most ridiculous fortnight of early morning wake-ups. He's absolutely taken with it and loves watching it go to sleep. It does seem to be working because the morning after this photo was taken he woke at 5am and when he saw it was still night-time he went straight back to sleep until 7.35am!)
38: 'Sailing on the sea' (Grandad comes over to play with The Boy on a Thursday while I'm in work and Nana is looking after him, today they made this picture together with The Boy's tap-tap set.)
39: 'Pedal Power' (A quick trip to the beachfront after I picked him up from nursery and time to practise his bike riding. He's doing really well with it, steering well and staying steadily upright in his seat. The stabilisers are at the highest position they can be before removing them but he's not quite ready because he pedals too slowly. He's capable of pedalling faster but his problem is that he's too busy looking at the world around him and taking it all in to concentrate on the speed. And who can blame him?)
40: 'Wishing Well' (We've come away for the weekend to Weston-Super-Mare because I just need to get away from it all, we all do. It's not quite been the day I envisaged because it's über grey and drizzly, but we've had such fun! Off to see Mummy Mishaps and crew tomorrow!)

and with A Kilt and a Camera
Aaahh lovely pictures of the boy. Love the one riding his bike. Glad you are getting on with Gro clock. We love ours and would recommend to all parents x
I love this weeks pictures, so many of them are the things Goblin does – your tack board, the bike, and i love your sensory small world.
OMG I haven't seen one of those tap tap boards since I was a boy, I have to get one for the girls.
Brilliant idea on the small world beach scene.
I love it when they learn to swing by themselves. It's a huge achievement. That play beach is amazing. You are so imaginative.
I think I will need a Gro clock for Thomas when he is older. The picture by the fountain is fantastic. Wish I had your eye for photos
I love the sandy beach play area you made! Looks fun. I need one of those clocks for our house!
The small world play beach is great! Bring on the summer when we can enjoy similar activities without freezing!! x
I love the last photo, it's brilliant! I hope you are having a nice weekend
Great pics – love today's, looks like you have super imposed him over another pic!!
You get a sense of how happy he is on the swing that he did it by himself. I love the playworld too will do this with the girls when they are older
Thisdayilove
Looks like another fun week, my eldest is also the slowest thing on wheels, but he is normally looking over his shoulder at the most curious things, Bless them!
smashing photos!! he looks super happy with his tap tap picture and you are very clever to have made that beachy table play area. great pedaling by the boy and what a strong boy to push himself in the swing! and that gro clock is a great idea x
see you tomorrow 🙂
Looks like the boy is doing great on his bike. Would love to see how you get on with the Gro clock x
All of your photos are lovely Madame but the Swinging shot…I love that one the best! You managed to capture glee!!

ahh we've not been to Weston in years – we went loads when I lived in Bristol! Now there's somewhere great for seafront cycling?
Looks like a wonderful week for the boy- the small world and the cycling and the chance to meet up with some playmates tomorrow! Wonderful photos, hope you have a great time tomorrow xx
now he can ride a bike and swing a swing these rides outside supermarkets just get a bit boring, one hazard of growing up. hope you enjoy your weekend away and your meet up with the others.
fantastic pictures l love the one on his bike 🙂
Fun week, I love the boy's face in a couple of them, so expressionist x
haha I always feel the same about the ride ons, the gro clock sounds like a great investment . He is doing really well on his bike xx
Love the picture of the pin art, what an adorable smiling face! The clock is such a great idea, glad it seems to be working!
I wish we'd had one of those grow clocks when mine were younger!
Hope you're having a lovely weekend xx
Love the tap tap set – he looks so pleased with himself!
I love the wishing well one – he looks like he's doing an impromptu busking performance as he stands there.
He looks like he is holding down some tune on the wishing well!!
I like the idea of that sand and water play.
Looks like another fun filled week! I love the last image! I wonder what he wished for?
Love the swing action shot and brilliant small world play beach, lots of sensory fun.
I love the bike, what a big boy, and learning to swing too. They grow up so fast x thanks for hosting again x
The paradise photo looks like it was great fun, I've been meaning to set up an 'invitation to play' style thing for Meg, might give it a go! Good luck with the gro clock, hope it makes a difference.
Thst groclock looks pretty cool.
The final pic made me smile!
Looks like you had a fun week x
Sounds like the groclock is genius! Long may you get a lie-in 🙂
Excellent photo's again!! Your boy is gorgeous. I have seen some pretty poor ride-on's too!
xx
Love the fountain pic!!
He's growing! He's definitely not a baby anymore.
Looks like he had a really fun week.
Thanks for linking up!
Love the clock.. hope it's having the desired effect!
I love the small world play beach.
I'm glad the Groclock is working for you.
