We have stuck stickers on which show each musical note, and use a book plus an online programme to help us learn. Mummy is Theo’s teacher - she used to play keyboard as a little girl then went onto play violin for several years, so although she’s not played piano she is musically trained and fortunately can help Theo a lot ! It will be nice for him to have some piano lessons at school when he reaches that stage . For now we are having fun learning some simple lessons and tunes, enjoying the instrument; Theo is doing so well !

Croatia

2023-04-17 23:20:20 UTC

Theo (Rav) from nursery went to Croatia for a week during Easter holidays. We stayed in a harbour town called Cavtat near Dubrovnik. We think it is a beautiful country, and enjoyed our time taking in the natural beauty / scenery as well as visiting the famous Dubrovnik city. Theo enjoyed the hotel breakfast and dinner very much too. We also saw Split, as Theo had to go to hospital there ( via air ambulance from Dubrovnik!) for a stomach emergency -developed lot of pain suddenly one day, had lots of different images done but luckily they realised the cause and that it was not serious in the end ; he was allowed out the next afternoon once doctors were happy that all his tummy functions were working as normal again.. a very worrying time during our trip.. we returned eventually to our original place for the remainder of our trip away. Despite our scary adventure in between, we still made lots of good memories in Croatia thankfully.
Theo relaxed so much he was dancing one day after some lunch outdoors; will attempt to attach a little video !
Other than our trip, Theo also visited Streetly library to change his books over before going away , had a stay/ sleepover with nanny and grandad with whom he had a lovely bike ride, and did his Easter crafts from the library. And enjoyed some yummy chocolate over Easter of course !

It also lights up at the base , and the wheels light up once they reach a certain speed, although we will take it slowly to begin with ! It is a great gift to help with developing gross motor skills and confidence in this area, and to get us to spend time outdoors now spring is here with some nicer days of weather.
