Good playdates rock

Spent a few hours at a friend's house today, whose son is the same age as Poppy. They were so cute together, babbling to one another over toys and following each other around and around the circular route through the kitchen and hallway. After lunch and a dual nappy change in front of CBeebies to distract them, we headed home. Managed to get her into the cot from the car so she stayed asleep, then after a bit of pottering in the kitchen a nap for Mummy was in order. Got to be done on my day off right?

Christening dress

Got a dress for our nephews' christening today, luckily hubby didn't have to go into work after all this morning so didn't need the personal shopper. It's black and cream sort of animal print, little slinky cowl neck, capped sleeves, knee length. Hint of sexiness but not too much boob on show iykwim?! There will be a vicar after all...And a bright acid yellow cardi to go on top to brighten things up. Did want a new pair of shoes but baby and daddy were very bored so left it. Perhaps I can manage with my old peeling pair of black heels if I clean them up and pull off the lining, all in the name of economy of course (not that that stopped me buying a new outfit).

Also spotted some second hand garden play equipment for sale online so snagged a Little Tykes Acitivy Cube for Poppy for a bargainous £30. Here's Poppy helping her Daddy put it together



Then her on the finished article

Now just got to get some playsafe floor mat-type things for the patio and wait for some dry weather! Also hoping to get her a swing, either for her birthday or out of the money we get by selling on her first pram.
