A Trip to Mussleburgh

It was a bright day yesterday and although a bit cloudy it was still warm, so we decided to pack a picnic and take the old bread to Mussleburgh to feed the ducks, we ended up feeding the swans as they were at the part of the river where we parked and then we went to the beach where Kaden paddled in the puddles and tried to eat the sand. We had our picnic on the beach and then threw some stones into the water.In one of the photo’s it looks like Kaden is eating a stick but he’s not, he is playing a doo doot!!

Not Enough Time

Over the last couple of weeks I have had to work a little extra so haven’t had a lot of time spent with Kaden. As we are now off for a week and it was a nice day I thought that Kaden and I could spend some time together feeding the ducks. After lunch we got in the car and went to our usual spot (Mussleburgh) We went into Tesco and got some bread then walked along the river and sat by the edge and started to throw some bread in to the water. At first we started to feed the geese but they then swam away so we went to see what else we could find. We found another spot and fed some swans and their fluffy grey cygnets! (inbetween Kaden eating some too!) after that we walked a little further and fed some ducks. This time the seaguls were quite calm and not too bothersome so all the birds got a good feed! After  that we went to the shops and then to pick daddy up from work.

A Bit for Me and a Bit for You

We had a lovely day out with Shona today! We went to get Kaden new shoes and a wander around the shops. It was so hot today and we passed an ice cream van so I decided to get ice cream for us all as a little treat. Kaden and I both had a tub of ice cream and Shona had a 99. Kadendone really well with the ice cream feeding himself and not making too much mess! We then had a look round Mothercare and headed back to the car. After the shops we went to feed the ducks at Mussleburgh. Shona put Kaden into the Bob he Builder childs ride but once it started to move Kaden didn’t like it and tried to get out. Shona then tried to put Kaden back in after watching it for a little while but Kaden wasn’t too happy with the Idea! We got bread from Tesco then headed to feed the ducks. When we got there there was only really seagulls so we fed them. Kaden liked the bread too giving a bit to the birds and a bit for himself, he must have ate at least two slices of bread! Kaden is getting better at his throwing as he can now manage to get some bits into the water!

Zack our Hero

On wednesday we went to feed the ducks, geese and swans with Granny. Zack was in the car too, he came along for the drive! We got two loaves of bread and parked the car and walked to the water edge. There were mostly seagulls and some really scary geese. We wee surrounded by all the birds and one of the geese was hissing at us! Every step back to the car we made the birds followed. Eventually we got back to the car and Granny opened the door forgetting that zack was in the car. Zack jumped out and chased all the birds away making it easier for me to get Kaden into the car! I think we will try and find somewhere else to feed the birds since these ones seem to be rather nasty!

A Little Time Out

It was a rather nice day although it was a bit windy so we decided to go and feed the ducks. We first went to tesco to get some bread and then we headed to the river. I sat Kaden on the banking beside me and we threw some bread in to feed the ducks and the geese. Kaden has now starte to throw things which ment that he was able to throw bread into the ducks between eating the bread himself!

A Little Walk

Kaden has been dong really well with his walking, he can now stand up byhimself and walk to you. Kaden can also walk quite far holding onto my hand and the buggy. The other day we were in Asda and Kaden walked from the clothes section to the cold meat section holding onto my hand and daddy’s hand.

Today we decidedto go to mussleburgh and feed the ducks and swans again, we took the buggy but let Kaden walk holding onto our hands and the buggy. I also put the reigns on him incase he wanted to let go and because we were near the water edge. Kaden done really well with his walking today,he walked fom one bridge to the other before wanting carried.  

 

A Nice Day Out

It was such a beautiful day today that we decided to take Kaden to Gorgie Farm and to feed the Swans and Ducks. We left the house after lunch and went to the farm. When we got there the first thing we saw was the chickens and turkey’s who were making lots of noise! Kaden really didn’t like the noise of the cockerel and started to cry so I took him out his buggy to reassure him. We then moved on to see the calf in the barn which was fine for Kaden as the calf was lying quietly eating at the hay! We then went to see the sheep and they were making lots of noise too. Kaden clung to me more with every baa the sheep made and started to cry so we moved on from there to see the pigs, cow, goats, birds, chinchilla, horse and rabbit. It only took us about 30 minutes to go round the farm because Kaden was really unsure of the animals when they made noises so we went to the shops and bought some bread and went to feed the Swans and Ducks at Inverkeith Park. The swans came out the water and got too close for my liking so we moved round the pond and fed the ones further round. I gave Kaden a piece of bread which he threw on the ground next to his buggy for the pigeons to get. I then gave him another bit but he decided to eat that too! When Daddy was in the shops he bought a milky bar for Kaden, we sat for a bit on the bench to watch the birds and gave Kaden his chocolate to eat. I said to Kaden are you going to share that with the Swans and he just laughed like was trying to say no chance! The weather was so lovely that it made our little trip out really nice!

Blackford Pond

On Sunday we decided to take Kaden to feed the ducks again but instead of going to our usual place we went to blackford pond in Edinburgh. My Mum and Dad used to take me there when I was little and I always remember seeing a photograph where I was standing on my own, I always remember thinking that my Mum and Dad had left me by myself when seeing the photo not realising that someone had to take the photo! Daddy managed to get a photo of Kaden and I but the batteries ran out so we were unable to take more!

Feeding the Ducks Feb 09

It was quite a nice day outside and granny and grandad had droped zack off as they were out visiting uncle J who has been unwell and in hospital for a few days. We decide that we would take Kaden to feed the ducks and that would give zack a little walk too! We drove the car to tesco’s in Musselburgh and parked there as we had to go and get a couple of loaves of bread for the ducks. we left zack in the car until we came back out! Then we went to the river and fed some of the geese that were there first. They were getting a little too close for my liking but Kaden seemed quite happy to see them, then we walked further along the riverside to find more birds to feed. We came to a bit where we could get quite close to the water and fed some ducks, swans and geese. Zack barked a few times but this only seemed to scare away the seaguls! I gave some bread to Kaden to throw to the ducks but he ate it instead! After we fed the ducks we went to a nearby park but Kaden seemed a little unhappy to be there as it was getting a little cold for him and he wouldn’t keep his gloves and hat on, so we went back to the car.
