I've had penpal letters from pals in Wakefield, Hereford and Canada. Anyone who knows me or reads this blog regularly will know that I'm slightly obsessed with cute writing sets so having these pop through my letterbox made me smile.
Monkey had a letter from one of her penpals from our facebook birth group. I love that if they keep it up as they get older they will have known each other right from the time they were born.
It's not very exciting but I've also had a set of plastic cups. Monkey has been using a Munchkin Miracle 360 Trainer Cup
for a while now as I didn't want her drinking from a spout but didn't think she was ready for a cup yet. Monkey is always telling me that "Me big mummy!" and obviously had different ideas. I was about to put the top on her cup the other day when I turned round and saw this.
Apparently Mummy knows nowt and Monkey is absolutely ready for a cup! I got some IKEA ones from Amazon. I'm due an IKEA trip soon but wanted to get them quickly.
And that's it! We've had a few quiet weeks now. My postman will be thinking I'm ill. Wonder what next week will bring...
Letters from us!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! :-D
DeleteLovely letters, I've just got my first penpal at 38 years old and I'm loving writing her letters, I've joined post circle so I'm hoping to get some more soon. Those cups are great for little hands we use those too.
ReplyDeleteI've had penpals since I was 7 and Monkey since she was about 9 months! It's such a fab hobby. Never heard of post circle - off to google!
DeleteI have an 18 mo old that refuses to use a sippy, this would be a great alternative! Thanks for sharing! I found you on the Monday morning blog club :)

I used to have a penpal and loved buying the cute sets to write to them with
ReplyDeleteAhh! I used to love having a pen-pal. It was so lovely to receive letters from the other side of the world x
ReplyDeleteEvery Christmas and birthday it was guaranteed that I would get a nice stationary set, which I loved.
ReplyDeleteIt's sweet when little ones start to think they're big, even thought they are still tiny.

I used to love writing to my pen-pals and how lovely that your daughter has one too.
ReplyDeleteWell done monkey on using your big girls cup :)
