Paddling pool

It was so hot again today. Clear blue sky and the temperature reaching 21 C. 

Before 10am I lathered bug in sun cream (factor 50, apply once, waterproof etc) and we headed to the park. Bug loves being outside so he was so excited as soon as I said where we were going. We must have been at the park for 40 minutes. I was expected to be there longer but I asked bug if he wanted to go into the town for a walk and he did. We only went into a few shops because it was just so warm.   Just as we were leaving bug asked for ice cream so I popped into tesco where I also bought a paddling pool for the garden. 

The paddling pool was a great idea.  Bug was so happy. I don't have a garden hose so I was just running back and forth to fill it with water. Bug was very excited by this point and was following me in and out the house. Once it was full he just got right in there. Jumping and splashing. He then asked me to move his slide so he could slide into the water. We were out in the garden for hours. Every now and then he would come and sit with me but most of the time he was playing with the water. 

Just after 2pm he said he was sleepy so came in for a nap. A long nap. 2.5 hours. I woke him up at 4:30pm. After a quick cuddle he was back out playing. 

Eventually he came for dinner and a bath after 5pm. Not in that order ;) before we came in I emptied the lol which also went down very well. Loads of jumping and splashing on the grass. 

Lots of cuddles, a story and now my wee guy is asleep. 

A lovely day in the sun with my wonderful little boy.
