We seem to be finding ourselves falling into a routine and however for the past fortnight I haven’t been at work due to it being the Easter Holidays and I have found that pretty tough because that one day a week of being at work, made it feel slightly normal and was a change of scenery and people so I have found that pretty tough!

However  I’ve been trying my best to not show Haribo so we’ve been doing lots of things to keep us busy in the house and again making most of the beautiful weather that we’ve been lucky enough to have in April, I’ve been drawing on inspiration from other ideas that I’ve seen on Instagram and also going back to my knowledge of working within the early years sector.

I don’t know if anyone else’s little ones have started to show signs of it bothering them but when we go out on our daily walk or a rainbow hunt as Haribo calls it, he can’t wait to get back home which isn’t usually like him, he usually loves exploring but he’s turned quite clingy which I really hope changes when we are allowed to get back to normal as he was such an outgoing and confident little boy.

I’ve set up some obstacle courses in the garden for him to explore and play with his outdoor toys. I also froze some of his toys in ice for him to explore playing with ice, cutting and chopping, using lots of fine motor skills, this also turned into a little roleplay activity so it just shows that you can expect it an activity to be used for one thing but they can take it a whole other way.

We also did one of Haribo’s favourite activties which is baking, we are doing so much baking during lockdown, I have to keep trying to encourage Haribo to eat it all otherwise I’m going to end up putting on a lot of weight because freshly baked biscuits and cakes are so hard to resist!

On the days we didn’t fancy going outside with played with Gelli bath, this was something that I came into contact with my training and it’s a lot of fun, Haribo had this kit for his 2nd birthday but he wasn’t really a big fan but I thought we’d try it again and this time he really enjoyed it.

I’m hoping next week will be better as I’m back to work and hopefully a little bit of normality will return but we shall see.

24/08/2018 - Day 236 So. We made a cake. Put icing on it. Then we decorated it. Then we put candles in it and sang happy birthday. IT IS NOONE’S BIRTHDAY. Because: 4. And it’s the summer. And mama’s got to get through the day somehow 🤷‍♀️ #amamasgottadowhatamamasgottado #entertainingafouryearold #summerholidays #summer2018 #parenthood #motherhoodunplugged #childhoodunplugged #project365 #documentyourdays #236of365 #iphonephotography #mumhack #lifeunplugged #bakingwithkids #bakingwithchildren #veryamateurbaker #cakedecorate (at Whitstable) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm32pSilPPM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1blsgfzl4k7o1

It's my mom's birthday today, but she lives 90 minutes away and we're in the middle of a pandemic, so the Little Humans and I couldn't go see her. We did, however, bake carrot cake muffins in honor of her, as carrot cake is my mom's favorite. Then the Small Human asked if we could dye the icing yellow because that made it "fancier" (she's all about making things fancy) so we did. #carrotcakmuffins #bakingwithchildren #flourwaseverywhere #cookingwithkids #happybirthdaymom https://instagr.am/p/B--fiS3gkPw/
