For her very 1st birthday, we took the little lady to Almond Valley Heritage Centre in Livingston at the weekend. We’ve never taken her to any children’s farms or ‘bigger’ visitor attractions before (I’m not counting Tollcross Park Children’s Farm) so it was quite exciting for all of us! The Farm The farm is excellent. There are …
Age
Buggyfit, 11 months post birth…
After months of trying, the stars aligned & we finally made it to our first Buggyfit Glasgow West class this morning in Victoria Park. It was a pretty nice day for once, if a bit breezy. Perfect for my first workout in a long time. The class itself was great. We did some running, and quite a …
Grosvenor Baby Cinema
We went along to, what I think is going to be our last, Baby Cinema this morning in the Grosvenor Cinema on Ashton Lane. We’ve had a good run (we’ve seen Hunger Games, Godzilla, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity and The Wolf of Wall Street amongst other) but we’re getting too old for it now since …
Breastfeeding support in Glasgow
I’m a breastfeeder. Or I am with my little lady. (Who knows what’ll happen if I eventually have another kid.) As I’ve written about before, it was difficult at the beginning. And I didn’t know what I was doing. But after the first few weeks it had all worked out and we were doing well. …
Baby Sensory
It’s the little lady’s favourite today: Baby Sensory. And it’s French week! (Pity her head is too gigantic for that little red beret her auntie brought back from France…) Each week has a different theme. We’ve had messy week, pirate week, cowboy week and under the sea week plus loads more. The class is in 3 parts. …
Garscube Community Playrooms
What a fantastic facility! We tried the Playrooms out for the first time yesterday and my little lady LOVED it. There are 3 rooms: the first has lots of tables for lunching, drawing, playing with dinosaurs amongst oh so many other things; the second contains lots of ride-on cars, dollies, buggies, a play house, building …
Bounce & Rhyme
We’ve been going to Bounce & Rhyme in the Mitchell Library for the past month or so. It’s exactly what it sounds like it’s going to be: a group of parents & babies/toddlers/pre-schoolers sitting singing songs and nursery rhymes whilst the babies get bounced on your knee and the toddlers attempt to escape from the kids …
Baby Massage
We’ve been going to a baby massage class in Scotstoun leisure centre for the past few weeks. It’s such a nice chilled out class. Each week we’ve done a different part of the body: legs & feet; arms & hands; back & shoulders etc. Each week we’ve lasted about 10 minutes before the little lady decided …
My First Post-natal Exercise Class
I recently found a post-natal exercise class in Scotstoun leisure centre. It’s been a while since I’ve done any exercise (I pretty much stopped any form of exercise as soon as I found out I was pregnant) and after a c-section and a wound that really doesn’t want to heal I thought I’d start with a …
