23.01.2022 The wet weather has returned yet again and luckily we had planned to go to the Inflatable Kingdom (tiny Tots) for a play. Ellie was so excited she couldnt wait to go and when we got there she was off jumping on the castles. Rachel enjoyed our outing as she is now familiar with the place and I had put her on the castle to encourage her to jump while holding my hands and just the castle. Connor need some encouragement to go up the big slides before he went on his own. When I... took him up there first time and raced down with him he was confident enough to do it on his own, there was no stopping him after that. Amanda and Connor was inseparable they played with each other on the slides and I was observing Amanda encouraging him to come on other castles which he did and loved. Tomorrow hopefully if the rain holds on we will visit Sugarworld playground.
