Oh lovely summer is here...we have been on holiday back to our origins. M. learnt so much there about where the fruit and vegetable come from. She became independent on picking strawberries, basil leaves, berries and helped me with other vegetables such as courgettes, aubergines, green beans. We ate so much fresh picked fruit, and M loved it so much. Back in London we kept the good habits and went to the country park to pick some black berries and we also discovered trees of sweet cherries and even peas!
We ate lots of berries and cherries and I also made jam, which she still enjoyes on a melba toast for breakfast.
I have also bought a basil plant and made pesto with the leaves M. picked for me, she also helped me prepare it. It is very good that she understand how fruit and vegetable grow and how we can make delicious things from them in a very simple way.
She is also developing a better understanding of how nature works (the plant needs sun and water and the fruit will ripe with time and with a good deal of sunshine), and grow an emphaty for our world.
We are also enjoying parks very much. Our bourogh is organizing various activities for children around the local parks, and even if there isn't much sunshine, we are having lots of days out, we even watched a puppet show, have face painting and made lots of art and craft, all of this for free!
Oh yes, I forgot! M. became so good with her potty traing that she was keeping herself 90% dry in matter of 2 weeks from the start of the training. After 1 month and half (cause of timeing issues) she got her scooter. She now keeps dry even at night!
