Claudia's Wedding (or should I say Isabella at Claudia's wedding!!)

 On the train there!

Our greeting party so Isabella was happy!

Playing on the grass whilst 'the photos' were being taken....she loved that grass!

Nikita wasn't too impressed by it though!

Ahh, photos over now then! Inside for a quick drink before the meal.






Isabella snuck in a quick power nap of 40 mins whilst we went in for food (the only one of the day I might add!).

 
At first she wasn't too impressed with the lack of food for her, but then realised toys were much more fun!

Playing with her friends!

All ready for bed, just waiting for the train to take her to it.

It was a lovely day and Isabella was sooo well behaved I couldn't have asked for more or been prouder. She was quiet when needed and entertained herself without any fuss.

Manchester Picnic!

Isabella and I went to the picnic on the Friday with Sian and her son Noah who is a little bit younger than Isabella but she loves seeing and playing with him.

Isabella showing off her cheeky grin and the most enormous cheeks in existence, and then pulling a grumpy face when put back in the pushchair!!!

Then on the Saturday Thais and Nikita came for the day and we ventured into town to go to the picnic again with them. We had fun and Thais decorated a cupcake with loads of icing on which she struggled to eat, Nikita loved her gingerbread man although she was a little unsure of it at first, and Isabella just loved everything as usual!!!!

Play time!

 

So far, all going well!!

LOVES the labels on toys...really they should just make a toy that's all labels!!

Starting the gathering and hoarding process!!

Busted! Such a proud, cheeky grin at what she's managed to achieve in such a short space of time - love that face!!!

I love my teddy!!!!

I think we may have a sharing problem.......

How the mat and toys are when she is put down!

Then we begin to shake all the toys onto our lap...




A quick check that none are missing and then a little time out to play!





Then the gathering re-starts and gains momentum until no toys is left unhoarded and uncovered!!!!

All starts off well, but despite their being no other children she still feels the need to gather all her toys and wrap the play mat round them so they disappear just in-case!!!!! If it all goes really well, the 2 blankets get gathered up as well....keeps Mummy busy sorting it all out!!
