Play Time

The hot spot lately, and definitely this weekend, is Luka’s sea playmat! It’s the ultimate spot for endless smiles, wild little wiggles, and the sweetest baby sounds. It’s even more fun when mum or dad joins in the action.

We waited for a rare sunny moment this week to capture the best playmat memories. For Chiara, these moments easily topped everything else—better than swimming lessons, family visits, chilly outings, or even the White Horse Sunday roast (though, to be fair, she missed out on the beer and pork!).

There’s definitely something magical about these toys—maybe it’s the colors, the shapes, or the design? Who knows! Some get huge smiles, while others get no reaction at all. We’ll keep playing detective to crack the mystery of the smile code!

Chiara in her “new” McLaren which is brown and pink but very cool. Bought on ebay to a couple who just had a second child and did not find the colours were appropriate for a baby boy.
