I have to say that I’m lucky to have Mommy L and Baby I around or I wouldn’t know about things that are happening around my borough. Well… I would but it might have taken a bit longer.

On Monday all for of us had a long walk towards Earlsfield for the One O’clock Centre. Mommy L and Baby I has been going to another One O’clock Centre but wanted to try this one out because it had a Sensory Room. So off we went with our babies and buggies. After 20 minutes we found it but of course with all the laws of the universe, it was shut for cleaning and will open again on Thursday! So we sat in the playground as the Centre was in the park and Baby I, who is a few months older than Nora, had a go on the baby swing… and Nora and I sat on the park bench looking around and had little chats with the nice posh mommies of Earlsfield. They really recommend the Sensory Room for Nora and Baby I and raved about the Centre.

So yesterday we tried again. This time Mommy C and Baby L, whom Mommy L met at the other Centre came along. Hey… the more the merrier!

When we got there, there were little ones playing outside the Centre. Loads of toys about and loads of toys inside the Centre too! I was thinking we don’t have to buy toys ever again because of all the free toys in the Centre!

We were given a few information about the Sensory Room and we went in and was amazed by it. There was a floor with fiber optics glowing. There was a ball pool in a corner. A seaside board where you touch the pictures and it will play the sound. There was fiber optics strand by the water bed which Baby I loved and started munching on. There were lava lamps with balls and bubble and Nora loved the bubbles!

As the room is soooooo popular and not very big, there can only be six child and six mommies in one go, and we can only be in the room for 15 minutes. But the 15 minutes was really worth it for Nora. Yesterday was bubbles… maybe next week we’ll do the balls!

Unfortunately I was not able to join them next Tuesday for Rhyme Time at Balham Library. Nora has to see the Health Visitor and we’re seeing Mommy LW and Baby M. But the week after, it will be Rhyme Time for us!
