Little Pips

Oh Piplings! 😍 Lots of magic moments this week, but this one was a highlight for me. This big sister used to come to this very same class when she was a baby, and watching her enjoying "roly poly tummy time" with her little sister was just magic! 💛

Some precious moments captured in today's Piplings Sensory Stretch and Sing class 🥹 lots of lovely vestibular movement and visual tracking for today's activities, just beautiful!

A little reminder that January classes are open for booking, and we will be starting the year with New Year parties in all sessions! 🥳 xx

Just popping by with a little moment of solidarity with anyone else awake at this hour... as much as I struggle with insomnia, these moments of solitude in an otherwise busy world are oddly beautiful. I've been listening to the rain on the window, reading my book uninterrupted under the glow of fairylights, all snuggled up in my favourite cardigan.

But I remember all too well those sleepless nights accompanied by my babies, feeling like I was the only one awake. Those bleary-eyed nappy changes, the struggle to stay awake to feed, and desperately trying to bring up those windy little burps to settle them back down again.

I also remember the toddler wake ups, little hands and feet climbing into my bed, leaving me with the smallest amount of space at the edge of the bed as they wriggled and jiggled and giggled.

And now, as my littlest approach the age of 11, those sleepless nights in their company are over, and I am now alone in these moments. Those phases passed, just like they said they would, and it's a strange sense of simultaneous relief and grief that is hard to put into words.

But for whatever reason you're reading this at 3.30am, just know that you aren't alone 😘 xx

Morning all, I have woken up feeling like my head may explode (I'm aware this sounds very dramatic but even typing this is hurting my eyes 😔) - I will see you all next week 💛 x

POTTERY - EDITED

The lovely Lollipops and Ladybirds will be dropping your pottery creations off on Monday - if you need to collect before next Friday, Ceri is hoping to drop the pottery off around lunchtime. I will pop a post out when it arrives so you can call down to collect x

Pudsey would like to remind my Piplings and Pips Play groups that they're welcome to wear yellow or spots to class today and tomorrow, and that there will be a donations box by the kitchen for anyone who would like to leave a contribution to Children In Need!

And please bring along a towel and plenty of wipes to get involved in the messy play 🥰 xx
