In July we've celebrated Canada Day, Canada's birthday. We all wore our red and white outfits with Canada tee shirts and Rose wore her Canada leggings too.
We've played in the paddling pool (which is like bath water when its warmed up by the sun for a day)
and we've played in the sand pit.
The missing piece arrived for Rose's playnest and she has loved playing in it.
We have spent lots of time picnic-ing at our favourite wading pools
and lots of time at the cottage.
We went on a trip to the Farm where Rory played on a tractor
and we have been to the park where Rory played on the climbing frame, slide and swings.
For most of July Rory has been going to afternoon camp. Last week the theme was Myths and Magic and Rory dressed up as a pirate for the last day.
This week we are at the cottage all week long! We have played in the water, dug in the sand, watched the wildlife (we saw a cast of ten turkey vultures by the graveyard- spooky!! (http://www.vulture-territory.com/turkey.html) and a snake in the lake- it rhymes but is not poisonous!!
Monday was a bank holiday and lots of our friends came to play at the cottage. We had lots of fun; Rory played and shared with all the children and Rose was happily cuddled and held by lots of the mummy's.
Rose is getting bigger and stronger every day. She loves to stand up and is working on rolling over.
She has a fabulous giggle and is often found sucking her fingers. Rose bathes almost every night with Rory and sleeps from about 8pm. She wakes up whenever Rory wakes up the house which is more often than not about 7am these days. She also LOVES to play peekaboo!
Rory is also growing bigger and stronger but more in will than stature! He loves to wear a backpack, trainers and hat so he can play at being Diego Animal Rescuer, which is what he wants to be when he grows up!
