Picnic in the Park

Lately, we’ve been enjoying picnic breakfasts at Pinkney, the Park here in town. On warm days we either pack breakfast in our handy Tingueli tote or pick up grab n go snacks from our local, Rowayton Market, lay out a blanket, enjoy our meal and watch the boats go by.

Visit The Beach

Wesleigh loves the beach, it’s always an effort to leave when it’s time to go. She could gather rocks and shells, throw them into the water and watch the waves crash for hours on end.

Go for a nature walk

We’re so lucky to be a short car ride away from a dozen or so amazing parks and trails here in Connecticut. Many nearby parks we have already visited and a few of which are still on our go to list. Some favorites we’ve visited with Wesleigh include Binney Park, Hammonasset Beach State Park and Selleck Woods Trail. We have found the walks to be a terrific opportunity for us to engage her senses and play ‘I-spy’, scavenger hunt, pick up sticks and follow the leader.

Backyard Toys

Warm, sunny days are perfect for the kids to blow off steam in the yard. These backyard toys keep Wesleigh occupied day after day.

Plant a Garden

Gardening with a toddler isn’t the easiest activity, but it has its perks. Toddler helpers like Wes may get a little handsy eating herbs and continue digging once the produce is planted but it is really sweet to see her with her watering can and literally see the fruits of her (our) labor.
