41: 'The Terrific Trio' (We were fortunate enough to be able to visit Mummy Mishaps and her boys today, and true to form we dragged them outside into the fresh air for their minimum of 15 minutes outdoor play a day. Hoods up, wellies on, find an old hoop and some puddles, and what more could you want? Really enjoyed our day, thank you Jenny!)
42: '3D' (Today I took The Boy to the cinema with Nana and his cousins, to see 'Sammy's Great Escape'. It's only the second time he's been to the cinema, the first time to see a 3D film. I'll confess that I wasn't sure how well he'd see it, I wasn't sure on the development of vision in tiddlers. However the moment he put them on, he reached out to touch the fish swimming towards him and he repeated this at least a dozen times throughout the film, before then lowering his glasses to try and understand why it looked like he could touch the images. It was really very magical and endearing.)
43: 'Zoomy paint' (Hugely productive day today: playdough, painting with cars and a themed waterplay – more on that another day, gymnastics, and outdoor play again. The Boy loved exploring the different way of mark-making with the paint.)
44: 'Solitary' (After nursery we went down the beach for a blast of fresh air to the system. 'Blast' and 'fresh' are both understatements here. It was freezing and windy. Oh and raining that irritating fine precipitation that gets everywhere! We managed a scoot to the end of the pier and back before collapsing into the warmth of the car. It is worth noting that we were the only people on the seafront!)
45: 'Shake and fizz' (A little science experiment today with some frozen vinegar blocks and coloured ice cubes, liquid vinegar, salt, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of inquisitiveness.)
46: 'Morning scoot' (I took him for his eye test only to discover he needs a more complex one involving dilating drops to check for a stigmatism, so we had to rebook. As it was 9.30 and we were dressed and out, we headed to Victoria Park in Cardiff which we last went to when he was too young to appreciate. He befriended a four year old little girl and they spent an hour happily racing around, holding hands, zooming down the zipwire, slipping on the ice, helping each other onto the equipment, and having a marvellous time.)
47: 'Hello up there!' (A bike ride through the foggy parks overlooking the beach and back along the seafront to the car, interspersed with some pebble 'plopping' down on the beach. 15 minutes? CHECK!)
I can't choose a favourite this week because I'm very pleased with all of them; they show a mummy and her son who have had a brilliant half-term together.

what a brilliant week you have had. Love the cinema one, trying to keep his glasses on. I adore the way children will happily play with other children they do not know that they come across.
Well done for getting out so much, 15 minutes is a long time when it's that cold and miserable – I'm not surprised you were the only people on the pier!
I love the idea of painting with toy cars, great messy fun! Scooting along the pier looks fun too, great photo.
Aaaahh what a lovely of term you've had. I'm very jealous as ours Santa Ben so great. How lovely you got to meet up with Jennie and her boys, looks like lots of fun. They are all great photos but I love "solitary" very cute x
I am very much looking forward to out half term next week! Love the photo of him in his 3D glasses, he looks very cool!
What a busy week. I love the pier pic. What fun! it will be fun to do that in the summer. Thanks for hosting again x
Looks like you had a fun week for half-term. I love the pier shot.
Looks like you have had a great half term – lucky you! Ours has been pretty stressful (with a little bit of fun!) x
I love looking at the pictures of all the things you get up to – the painting looks like a lot of fun (not to mention mess)! x x
As always such lovely photos, I love the pier shot it looks like you've asked everyone to keep out of shot.
The pic of him at the 3D cinema is so lovely. You can just see the fascination in his expression!

awww thanks for the lovely catch up last sunday.i love all your photos i think you have had a marvellous week but if i had to choose a photo it would be 2 – the cinema one and the pier one. all so good though. glad you enjoyed a fun week – memories to tick over until Easter x
I always look forward to your photo's – you always have so much fun!!
The pier shot is amazing, i love how you have captured the rainy show and you can tell how cold it is. The boy is owning that pier!
Wow! Can't believe your commitment to getting out and about. It's like the gym- it does make the world of difference (I don't go to the gym!).
Love the cinema photo and the pier shot.
A lovely week of pictures.
Love that pier shot!
Another fun looking week! That science experiment looks cool and I love the shadow on the scooter photo, Hope you had a great half term 🙂
I love that pier shot. I guess it was pretty cold which was why it was deserted – mad people!
Everyone else said it too, but I do like your pier shot! So worth getting out, even when the weather isn't so great!
Same, I love the pier photo. What a great idea for creative play too. My two year old loves playing with the hoop in garden too
Thisdayilove
Loving the pier pic – sounds like a good half term – ours is next week.
So many lovely shots this week I'm struggling to pick one out too. Great to see the boy with Jenny's boys – it's like a well known actor appearing in a cameo role. I do like the cinema shot with him trying to keep the glasses on.
Lots of outdoor play again, we also managed to get outside this week too. Love the pier shot
What a lovely week you've had. I adore the photo of The Boy on the pier – the colours are brilliant. The one of The Boy in the 3D glasses made me smile. My older two boys love the cinema but I haven't taken my youngest yet. Your photo makes me look forward to it.
What a brilliant week of photos! I love how they look like they are having a ball outdoors.
looks like you have had a super busy time this week, love the cars and paint what great fun!
What a fantastic idea, painting with cars, think we will try that this week

Ah car painting! Luka loves this. We use monster trucks and tape paper to the floor. In the past we've then used this to make a huge number line 🙂
xx
Awww love the one of him at the pictures 🙂 Bet it was really cute seeing him trying to touch the fish!
Looks like you've had a fun week – I hope our half term is as good
It looks like you had a lovely half term. The car painting looks fun x
Busy week!
That shot on the pier is my fav, cant pinpoint why, just stands out!
Great photos, what a busy, fun half term you have had. I think my favourite is Morning Scoot. I'm not sure why but I loved the way The Boy's shadow stretches out ahead of him.
I love the pier photo and the stoney beach – I dont know why either, I just love them. 🙂 x
Fun filled week and brilliantly captured. Love the zoomy painting, will have to do some zoomy painting with my little man
Love the zoomy paint – reminded me that we used to do that too!
ohh I think this could be my cruel parent streak kicking in, but I might have to take H to a 3D film for that experience – we were messing around on the iPad and I had birds flying around her head – she couldn't work out where they were (which was very funny indeed!) – that sounds like her kind of thing!
Have I mentioned how jealous I am of how close you are to the coast? Probably… sigh, I love your pictures!
