TeamChallis: Squidge is 2!

27th September
Mummy day and after school, Fidget was keen to go across to the sensory garden to ride her bike, and it was a lovely afternoon for it…

I have been doing lots of craft projects in the evenings in readiness for Christmas. I am making Squidge and Fidget some felt animals and I finished Fidget’s faun which I was very chuffed with…

The weekend before Squidge’s birthday, Grandma and Granddad came down to visit. On the Saturday we went out to the zoo. It was a really hot day so we sat outside to have our lunch, looking good birthday girl….!

We all had a good wander around…

my favourite bit is always the penguin and seal house, Squidge was hot and bothered and having a real mump until we found some massive penguin eggs.

another photo opp…

We had a play on the slides, but it really was getting hot,

so time for paddling fun!…

We then found a great spot in the shade to enjoy an ice cream each…

Sunday was another warm day, Squidge opened her presents from Grandma and Granddad. I had gone for a bit of a domestic theme when putting Squidge’s present wishlist together. The girls play alot together either with babies (and I do feel we have alot of baby stuff) or in their kitchen, so I thought we could boost the “house” stuff.
Grandma and Granddad had got her a super mop, brush and dustpan and brush set, a wooden ice cream sundae set and a dyson vacuum cleaner!!!

Grandma and Granddad had also brought down presents from others in the family – thanks so much to everyone, I will try to get the thank yous out soon!
We set up a camp on the far deck, complete with hats to keep the sun off.

We had our lunch on the deck along with a cake for the birthday girl.

The girls dived into the dressing up bag to give Grandma and Granddad a fright…

It was a lovely weekend – thanks Grandma and Granddad!!

Squidge’s actual birthday was a nursery day. We got in a special breakfast of muffins, pink milk and fruit…

btw in the last post there was a picture of Squidge sitting having her breakfast on the bench, and I meant to mention that Squidge has given up sitting in her highchair and rather joins Fidget on the bench, which is cool by me and she is a fairly neat eater now (nothing on Fidget, but then I am a messier eater than Fidget!)

I picked up Squidge early from nursery. Back at home Squidge opened her presents from us which along with a bean bag for her room and a new dress, included a pot and pan set, baking set and kitchen utensils!
