Experiencing A Baby And Toddler Group

Today was the day we took May-May to our first play group. I was feeling anxious as I've never been to anything like this before. When we got there it was like I stepped into another realm where kids had space to run and play and parents got to interact with each other in a open environment. 

The staff that work there are so friendly and approachable. I found it easy to talk to them and they made everyone feel welcome. May-May enjoyed the baby play area where there were sensory  and age appropriate toys for her to play with. The parents were also welcoming and made me feel at ease with the surroundings. I was one of two dad's there and it didn't feel as if I was alone. He spoke to me about the group and it was really natural and simple, especially as it was my first time. 


The games and songs that the staff used were fun and easy to follow. May-May was engrossed with the staff member with the guitar and could not stop smiling as they went through the songs. There were also refreshments for parents which was tea or coffee with toast or teacake. The children had juice to drink to replenish their energy. 

 I had so much fun seeing May-May enjoying herself and I found out that they do a dad's only group with the same staff which me and May-May will definitely be going to. I would definitely recommend this to any parent with young children and for all that is on offer, it is really worth the money!

 P. S 

 I have a surprise for you all this weekend for my next post………. 

 Stay tuned!

Daddy and Daughters First Carnival

I heard that Mics cousin Sasha was planning to put together a band for Huddersfield Carnival called Majestic Mas a few months ago. So I asked if I could join as Mics and May May were going to perform already. I had never played at a carnival before and I have always wanted to perform.  So Sasha and her family started to create the costumes for us, working tirelessly to make sure everything was perfect. The theme for this was Black Panther Children of T’Challa. I was immediately sold with this as I’ve always been a massive fan of comic book superheroes and this felt natural for me.  So it came to the week of the carnival and I was feeling so nervous about playing in front of such big crowds. But I didnt want to let Sasha down as I fully support what she was doing. I tried my costume on and it felt amazing on me.  On Friday night before carnival me and my family went to a Glow street party, which is the night before the big day. I  absolutely loved the atmo...

The Proposal To My Fiancé

It all started from a epiphany I had while coming home from work, i just knew in my mind that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with mics. We had only been together for a year and a half and were expecting a baby as well. I was scared she was going to say no as it might have been too soon. So when i got back to mics mums house I told her about my plan to propose. I will never forget how her face changed into shock and excitement. She told me about when she was proposed to and it was around the same time as me and mics. That gave me the confidence to go ahead with buying a ring. When I bought the ring I felt like I wanted to burst with excitement but then I ha d to think how am I going to ask her. I thought of so many elaborate ways to do it. But I knew we were going on holiday to Benidorm for my first time and it felt right to do it there. I brought the ring and I showed it to mics parents and told them of how I wanted to propose and they were both really pleased with the...

5 Month Reflection Of Our Princess

This week our May May officially turned 5 months old and I couldn't be more happier with how her development is going so far. She is so alert these days and has started to notice her hands and feet more often. It has been a massive learning experience for me as this is my first time being a parent but it has all been worthwhile.  I have struggled with nighttime routines with her as this is when she gets more agitated from teething and growing pains. Its hard to see her in distress and i try to give her as much cuddles as possible which sometimes calms her down but over the course of time she has become more playful.  I love it when I enter a room and she gives me the biggest gummy smile. It totally fills my heart up when she does that and it immediately makes everything else minimal. May May has also learnt how to roll over onto her stomach which is a joy to see and how she has the ability to move her body in different positions while laying on her back.  I ...
