As I mentioned yesterday we are all suffering from cabin fever here so this morning after a quick trip to the shops Junior and I decided it was time for a little science (we haven't done any for so long).
I recently read a little article in the playgroup newsletter which inspired us to try colouring some flowers this morning.
Two white Carnations, some water and food colouring and we were set. A couple of hours later and we had some very pretty results. They will probably be even more impressive tomorrow but I don't know that I will get a chance to blog then so I thought I would take the chance when it arose.
There are more great kids science ideas on the
Scitech Website and if you are in Perth, take a look at the program for their
Toddlerfest coming up next month. Junior and I went last year and had a fantastic time.
Hubby, Junior and Jack Dog have disappeared to Albany for a few days, so it is just Bub and I at home for the weekend. Having now spent a day with just Bub, I have realize just how little one-on-one time we spend together. Junior still gets his "Mum" time when Bub takes his naps, but Bub very rarely gets time with me on his own.
It has been very nice to spend some time together - reading books (without interruptions), sing songs (without constant request for something different), going for a walk and playing at the park, dropping into the Cafe for morning tea, pottering in the garden together. Our time together has been nice and peaceful but ever-so quiet. I think we are both enjoying it but also missing the constant energy and movement which is Bub's three and a half year old big brother!
