Parents’ Meeting?! For a One year old?! Yes…I had the same initial thoughts of “what are they going to say?!”
Were they going to tell me my little man’s been a terror? Were they going to update me on his nappy habits? Or were they going to tell me he flings his food around at lunchtime?
It was a lovely meeting with his keyworker to convey that my little man has settled well into nursery and she said it’s like he’s been there for months. He has developed a good relationship with all the nursery workers there, and even the manager said he was the cutest of them all! (She probably says that to all parents and “Make parents feel they have the cutest baby in the place” would be listed on an itemised bill!…although…he IS the cutest there…!…but I may be biased).
They do lots of different activities at nursery to challenge their
development and they keep an observational record book to make sure it is documented that they are meeting their developmental targets. From playing in their huge soft play room, to going outdoors, to finding bears in custard, or playing with flour and water, to playing with musical instruments and singing, playing in the sensory room, to painting…
They do a lot… I think we are definitely getting our money’s worth for the care and attention that they give. I think it is the best start for my wee man and he has come on leaps and bounds since starting nursery and socialising regularly with other children.
Here are some pictures of the inside of his book to show you some of the things he gets up to…
Here he is having a hug from one of his friends…already a hit with the ladies…
Here is a very creative fireworks picture made with brightly coloured paints and a straw. I was born Guy Fawkes night so I love fireworks, and I love this picture…
And here is a Wintery piece of art…a lovely fluffy snowman…all he needs is a snow dog to come alive…
There are many other delights within the book showing his progress over the last 3 months. It was lovely to sit and go through this with his keyworker, and it gave us an opportunity to discuss other issues like feeding, sleeping etc. as we are entering a slightly new stage at the moment.
On the way out I spotted missed opportunities for granny/gran dad Christmas presents!
Lovely canvas shopper bags made with foot/handprint. I snaffled one up straight away with the resolve that I would buy anything my little man has been involved with.
There’s a close up of his darling footprint below. I know it’s got a big Father Christmas on it…BUT…bags (well footprints) are for life not just for Christmas…
Love from me and my little man x
