A couple of new events for Jessicat over the last week. Last Sunday, she attended a birthday party for the first time ever; her friend, Gracie, from Stay and Play was 1. Jess enjoyed a short time in the ball pool and loved playing with Gracie's musical toys. It was a joy to see her enjoying herself; I am still haunted by memories of her early days when she was so unsettled in anyone else's house.
Today, Jessicat and I caught a bus together (another first!) to attend the singing session held at the Central library. This is a fabulous library for children, with a separate play area and extensive collection of board books. We will be going back! It was exciting for Jess and me to be in town together, as there is so much to look at. We popped into the cathedral, stopped to look at the fountains in the centre, and Jessicat was admired by lots of passers by (proud mummy emoticon).
Books - of course - continue to be a major source of entertainment and enjoyment for Jessicat. She still loves me to lie beside her on the floor at 4pm for a daily book session as a precursor to her tea. At the moment, Jess loves to turn pages, and often does not even want to wait until I have finished the page before moving on. She is becoming increasingly fascinated with books as objects, mouthing them, poking them, and studying the shape of them closely. I can forsee that chunky board books and "feely" books will be a major part of our repetoire for some time to come.
