Castle Espie Wetland Trust

This week Curtis has been refusing to eat anything from a spoon or eat food that is chosen for him. Offered a raspberry, he'll reach out and get a breadstick for himself, offered a piece of carrot he'll refuse it and point at a chip, offered a piece of toast, he'll find himself some raisins. Healthy home cooked foods are out the window again this week in favour of his 2 new favourite snacks - chips and prawn crackers!! So much for the healthy organic only diet we'd intended for him. Sure it's just another wee phases that will pass.

Worried that he hadn't eaten a whole meal in a while we recruited his cousin Dylan in to help and made them both a picnic of tuna sandwiches, burgers, fruit and cheese hoping that Curtis would copy Dylan when they ate. Some fun was had crawling about in the picnic tent but Curtis didnt play along when it came to eating. Oh well, it was a lovely sunny day however so we decided to pop down to a nearby Waterfowl Trust centre Castle Espie to feed the ducks. What a fantastic centre; baby ducks, a multitude of coloured ducks, geese and swans, woodland walks, playgrounds, bird watching look outs and a coffee shop with delicioius cake.
