What a walker!

Just took Mia to a nursery round the corner that I am interested in putting her in. I think we both really liked it but unfortunately they don’t have any places at the minute. Mia is on their waiting list, so I will just have to pester them to take her in, even if it’s for only one day at least she gets in there and I can start to look for a job.

The place and the people seem really nice. The room seemed larger and brighter than the other nursery I had a look at and at least with this one I got to see how the carers are with the babies they look after already. The toddlers were being fed at the time, and all seemed really quiet in their highchairs being fed. They won’t know what has hit them if Mia gets a place there, as she is extremely noisy when she eats, either screaming or blowing raspberries or just generally moaning at me to hurry up and get the next bit of food ready!

Mia started to cry when we were leaving as I think she was having fun with the musical bells she was playing with but that set off a little boy called George. He came running towards us crying as we went out through the doors. Maybe he will be a future little friend for Mia – he was only 7 months older than her so would be in the same school year.

Mia has been walking a lot further on her own today. I just have to place her on her feet and let go and she’ll just go off walking, stopping for a bit having a look around and then sets off walking again. So I am classing this as Mia is officially walking now.

I went off exploring the area and shops and found a great hidden little place full of great little shops. It’s great round here, you don’t really need to go into the city. There are plenty of restaurants, cafes, takeaways etc all on our doorstep. Perfect for visitors, so get yourselves over here quick!
