Living Arrows | N-ICE Weather For A Walk

'You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth' Khalil Gibran.

This picture looks like she's about to drop some sick hip hop beats (I cringed writing that- I feel so old!). Hasn't it been a cold week!? The thermals and flasks have definitely been used. I've been feeling a bit rubbish this week due to an ear infection and whilst I'd have preferred not to go out this week, the truth is we struggle if we don't get out. 

Iris is a very active child, she loves nothing more than running and shouting and playing high energy games such as tag. We find that if we don't get out daily then she gets agitated and whiney. She's most definitely a child that needs to burn her energy. An hour outside and she's a different child. Her concentration levels improve, her moods are more balanced, she has more patience and she eats and plays better. 

It's difficult when the weathers as cold as it has been this week. Iris will enjoy herself regardless of the weather but for me it's been pretty grim standing in the icy wind with a poorly ear! As much as I love playing on the ice I'm hoping that the warmer weather we've been promised for next week arrives sooner rather than later.

Thanks For Reading,
