29.5.10 ~ 100 word diary

We’re off to Bournemouth, with its forecast of rain. Have packed wellies for Jake - not swim trunks. Packing things to entertain a toddler for 4 days is tricky. Here’s what’s in his play bag: mini-books on animals, colours, numbers and sounds; some playdoh and mini-moulds, a soft ball, the red bus, Penguin, a bucket, spade and plastic boat, and the book The Bad Tempered Ladybird. Not taking any markers for fear of what he might do to hotel walls. It’s our first holiday in over a year, our first holiday with a full-on walking talking toddler. Wish us luck!
