Another fun filled day today. Sarah had a birthday party to attend at Horton Farm (a children's farm), so we went down with Olivia as well (and Alex, but he doesn't really care that much about farms yet) and let her have a go around the farm while Sarah partied. She got very stroppy after a while (over tired from playing on all the climbing stuff) and actually asked to go home - such a difference from Sarah, who will never admit when she's tired and insists on pushing everything until tears come. Olivia had some tears, too, but at least she knew she needed to go. Of course she's always been better at knowing her limits about that sort of thing, like bedtime. She's the only 2 year old I've ever encountered who would suddenly stop playing and come up and say "Mummy, I'm tired, I want to go to bed now"...

After the farm, we had a bit of a rest, and then went to the local Scouts' group's summer fete. There are always lots of silly games for little kids with small prizes & lots of sweets to be won. They love it, as it's not too hard for them to actually sometimes win the games. I love it because the games are all really cheap, so it's not so bad that they usually don't win anything. :)

Otherwise, nothing too exciting here. My friend Cathi (the one in Ireland) gave me a book about doing yoga with your baby, so Alex and I have been having a go at that every afternoon, and it's really good fun. Some of it involves using the baby as a weight, but mostly it's about positioning him to see you and playing with him, a bit of baby massage, rolling over exercises, and so on. He enjoys it, though, which is great.
