Our day began at 7am. Baby B had been unsettled since 4:30 but didn't wake for feed until 6:45. C had been stirring since 6:30 but was happy talking to her cuddly toys until I went in for her.
Today was the start of my second day this week looking after both my children on my own, and the only day we didn't have anything pre-planned. It is also possibly the last day I will be looking after 2 children under 2 on my own as C turns 2 next week. At which point everything gets miraculously easier right?

Butterfly Butterfly - Linking Books & Craft Activities
Today we made a beautiful butterfly with Grandma.
We prepped for this by cutting out the butterfly wings and punching 4 holes in the centre in which to thread elastic.
C then helped to decortate the butterfly wings by slicking on coloured shapes to both sides.
While we were sticking we discussed the shapes and colours we were using. I am so impressed at the speed C's colour and shape recognition has come on in recent weeks.
We then threaded elastic through the spine of the wings and slipped them over C's arms.
She looked very cute as she fluttered around the room!
