Adventuring

Tiny really enjoys adventuring. Adventuring is being able to roam freely where you will when conditions allow it. And so I take Tiny to quiet streets and allow her to wander, I keep her safe and she loves it! Today she wandered the cobbled streets of a little town which had a flowerpot festival on so she met with Bo Peep and her flower pot sheep. 

She climbed the steps of pathways leading to houses and sat a while outside doors before taking off. After all the world is an exciting place and for a Tiny there is SO much to explore! 

The Blackcurrant Forager

Tiny often munches her way around the garden with supervision of course. She is a natural forager and over time we have shown her what she can eat. She will pick mint, blackcurrants, fennel and spend time eating them fresh from the branches. 

Back Carrier

Tiny loves outdoor adventures! Even when she was in the womb I could sense her deep contentment when I walked through woods as she would be lulled to sleep . I climbed this hill with her in the back carrier and she kicked her wee body in delight the further we ascended. She felt utterly content and thrilled to see the scenery change as we topped the crag. In this especially sweltering summer we are keeping walking to the early hours of the evening. 

Marionette

For a 16 month old toddler staying with a puppeteer was a totally new experience. Tiny engaged with and marvelled at so many new objects none of which were conventional toys. She spotted the marionette up on one of the shelves and became intrigued even more so when it began to interact with her! 

Kicking A Ball Around

With the very hot days we're having this year it feels best playing out in the cooler evenings and things have kicked off! Up until the past couple of days Tiny would lift the ball; bring it to me and I'd throw it for her. Having watched bigger children kicking balls around in the park she now dribbles and kicks the ball. It's a great way to tire her out before bath and bed.
