Rio by name, Rio by nature?

If you've ever popped by my blog before you will know that little Rio is ball obsessed. Its what made him take his first steps, say his first words, and what 70% of his day consists of. Therefore you will have noticed we never pass up the opportunity to take a ball out with us for the day & to make the most of the nice weather before the much needed rain and thunderstorms, we packed it under the pushchair and headed for the park.

The picture above is what we were greeted with. Everytime i tried to slide it out of his hands he woke up, grabbed it tighter to his chest and nodded back off again in contented sleep. Me & Craig took this as an opportunity to chat and relax on a bench infront of the pond watching the little ducklings..before it was time to jump in the car and go do the dreaded Asda shop that is!!

Im linking up with PODcast's whats the story?:

Clumber park, and yet another picture of Rio playing football.

Seems as though me and Craig have the same week off together we're trying to make the most of it and have as many family days out as the weather allows. Clumber park is an old favourite of ours, and little Rio likes anything that has enough grass to kick a ball about so we're all happy chappys really.

..we'd be even happier chappies if we'd booked that last minute holiday like we'd planned but oh well, least the current bun is making an appearance. Hey maybe it will stay out long enough to take Rio on the beach for the first time at the weekend? Bucket and spade at the ready courtesy of nanna the easter bunny.

 

What a terror!!  In sports direct the other day they had balls right near the ceiling and it took him 0.2 seconds to locate them. He has some kind of sixth sense for balls/balloons. It took me about ten minutes of handing him rugby balls, basketballs etc before he got mad and pointed to the ceiling and growled "FOOTBALL", that i realised. Silly useless mummy!! ;)
