Are we nearly there yet mummy? » Bubble wrap http://arewenearlythereyetmummy.com The Mummy Blog everyone is talking about Fri, 18 May 2012 06:00:58 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Birthdays and Bubble Wrap http://arewenearlythereyetmummy.com/bubble-wrap-boy/ http://arewenearlythereyetmummy.com/bubble-wrap-boy/#comments Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:00:32 +0000 Laura - AWNTYM? http://addcreative.co.uk/AWNTYM/?p=2467 It’s the 3 year old’s birthday in just under 2 weeks. With Christmas only just gone I’m struggling to think of something to buy him.

If I ask him what he wants for his birthday I get a surly “I don’t know”. Of course he doesn’t know, he is the proud recent owner of a Hot Wheels track, remote control dinosaur, a rather irritating noisy ray gun (Thanks Auntie K) and several other new toys from Father Christmas.

My boy is so active. He gets the most pleasure from using our house as an assault course. Using the sofas to bounce on, bum skidding down the stairs, sliding on his knees in the bathroom, using bubble wrap as a swimming pool or using the dog as a hurdle just to name a few favourite activities.

... when you have a roll of bubble wrap? Expensive presents?

I came across these picture a few weeks ago and thought that maybe I should just get him something else, non-toy related. He has enough toys. Maybe something to aid his expulsion of energy. Something to add to his assault course. I have no idea what that is yet.

What non toy related things/household objects do your children get the most pleasure from?

They were wrapped in a large sheet of bubble wrap. I am sat writing this in the office, the children are in the living room and all I can hear is popping.

No fighting, no shouting, no whining …. just pop pop poppity pop.

I might invest in a roll.
