When Leila got up thismorning Scott got her ready in her 'party dress' as it was the Tick Tock Christmas Party today :-) He also got her to wear her new thermal tights!
Tick Tock always starts with a craft activity and today it was to paint and add glitter to Christmas Tree decorations - hard baked biscuits. Leila enjoyed this - especially the glitter part - and we now have three lovely new decorations on the tree.
The second craft activity was decorating cookies. Leila enjoyed this a little too much, eating two of them before I managed to save one for her to share with daddy after tea (share - I think Scotty got one lick before she demolished it!)
Then it was time to play a few Christmas games. Firstly it was a very simple 'pin the nose on the reindeer'. It was so simple that the kids weren't even in blindfolds! But of course they loved it :-) Leila was really good as she was the first kid to do it after Joelle demonstrated what to do. I was really impressed that she got up to have a go, especially as she was sitting the other side of the room to me. Her prize for doing it was a little medal that she proudly wore. And later she added a glitter blue hat to complete her outfit.
We then played pass the parcel and then finally it was time for the presents. Everyone had to brign a wraped gift and all of these were put in the middle. The kids then took it in turns (kind of) to choose a present. Basically they went for the present nearest to them. Leila choose one for her and one for Edward and we got a set of crayons, nice pencils and good pens that will be put through their paces soon enough and a set of plastic animals. The animals were a bit naff really, but Leila liked them as she doesn't have anything like this at home.
During the play time at the end Leila played really nicely with another boy, Joshua, who had a doctor's set. She also said 'goodbye' to the other kids and is starting to talk about them as her friends now which is really cute.
That girls is a treasure
