Seeing as I have walked the legs off my girl in the past few days, I figured a more relaxed day today would be in order. Well, I say that. What I really mean is I wasn’t planning on having a huge walk with her…but we did manage to clock up a very respectable 6,000 before bedtime.
So much for taking it easy.
One of our neighbours very, wonderfully, kindly gave this bike to Wee Daftie. Oddly, just before her 4th birthday, which made it extra special. The bike used to belong to her granddaughter but she has grown too big for it so thought of us. How cool is that? It is too big for her, currently, but she is perfectly sized to reach the pedals, and pedal; she just needs help getting on and off.
20 minutes of back and forth in front of our building was enough cycling for one day, but clearly not enough exercise, as she jumped off the bike and then onto her scooter!
Off we went for a longer scoot and toot – and walk along the wall while I carried said scooter – before heading home in time for lunch. What a randomly busy and productive morning!
Our afternoon was taken up with bubble making and experimenting with Professor Daftie. It’s quite a cool little set. Some really simple science and fun but she was really into it. She wore her “science glasses” and kept referring to herself as a scientist. It was ace. My only gripe is that you have to make up your homemade bubble solution (with their instructions) but then leave it to rest for 24 hours. So we couldn’t do all the really fun giant bubble bits of the kit which was annoying. But it does mean we get to do it tomorrow!
After her bedtime, I took myself out for a walk to finish off the steps for the day. I also managed a lovely chat with my Biggest Sis, who randomly phoned. So I actually had lots of gorgeous company for all my steps today! Total bonus.
Feeling good that we’re getting into a good stride (ha!) and raising some money for Refuge. Almost one week done already, which is wonderful, so let’s finish this week strong with a good day tomorrow.
