Before he could walk he was a bit fearful of sand, he would sit on it and cry! Now he’s on two feet, it’s a whole new world of excitement. We’re trying to make more effort to go to the beach now – there are lots on the doorstep and there’s so much to do when you get there. On this particular day it was beautiful and sunny. We chased each other about, we helped our dog dig a hole in the sand, we collected up shells, sticks and seaweed – we even made a boat out of sand with a moat around it..! Before I had a baby I might not have considered this as ‘exercise’ but now I need to find things we can both do – and I always feel better after a few hours breathing in sea air.
