Busy, Busy, Busy

So busy, in fact, that I haven't updated my blog for a long time. We had a family holiday to Center Parcs in Longleat at the end of February. Jessicat loved feeding the ducks from our log cabin, catching the land train, and having her first ever paddle in a swimming pool! The whole campus was well organized for parents, and I enjoyed being able to eat out whilst Jess amused herself playing with available toys. She didn't enjoy the organized activities - the soft play, the dance class and the teddy bears' picnic - as much as the "free floating" time with us.

And now we have come back to potty training - day 3 of it as I type. Things are going well so far, touch wood. Jessicat asks for the potty and does her wee in it. We have yet to broach the more contentious areas of poos in the potty and actually doing your business on a proper big toilet! So with all of this going on, I've had less time to blog than usual.

But I still want to recommend a book of the week, and I'm making an unusual choice this week. The book in question is called "The Zoo" and it's illustrated and written by Alison Jay. It's an usual choice because it is a book without text in it, and usually I find those hard work to read. But Alison's beautiful artwork makes this book a joy to behold, and there is enough craziness and stories to be found within the pictures so it does what a book should always do: it makes you think and invites you to use your imagination.
