This week

We tend to have the TV on first thing in the morning and we watch Daybreak. I like to see what's on the news and find out what the weather's doing and we quite enjoy the banter of the presenters. It's fairly light hearted and often gives us a laugh which, in my book anyway, is a good way to start the day.

There tends to be an item that would appeal to children just before 8am and on Wednesday they had The Wiggles on. As soon as they started singing they had Alice's attention :).  Later that morning Claire thought she would see if there any other programmes which Alice might like to see how she'd react. The next programme coming up was Dora the Explorer so we switched over and waited for it to start. It was so funny, Alice pushed herself up to standing at the end of the couch and was glued to the TV! She waved her arms around and chuckled and fake coughed (her latest attention seeking/happy thing to do lol!) Needless to say I had to get a photo to catch her reaction to her first chidren's programme :)

 More serious once Dora had finished

 Yesterday morning when I went outside I couldn't get over how many roses had come into bloom! The scent from this rose bush is wonderful - we can smell it as we walk out the back door and I wish I could bottle the perfume!

 Another day or so and this one will be the same :) 

Then a final photo of Alice just before she and Claire went in to town this morning. She also got to wear the little cardigan I finished the other day, for the first time. :)

Hope you have a wonderful weekend
