In the Night Garden...

...Live!

We took the girls to their first ever theatre experience today. Admittedly, it was the live production of a favourite TV show but it was still theatre, and it was well done.

The real intention had been to take Emily, then we decided to get a ticket for Charlotte too. It was cheaper than hiring a babysitter! She didn't really get anything out of the production and we would probably have had a better time with Emily alone, but I am pleased that we took her too. They had these light-up windmills that they were selling and the audience were waving them around. Of course we got the girls one each and they are a really good visually stimulating toy for Charlotte. I was also delighted to see her looking at the projection of stars on the ceiling of the theatre.

We talked about it and decided that we were going to take Charlotte along to whatever we would take Emily to. So off the Night Garden she went. Emily had a blast and I am so delighted that we did it. We'll take them to something at Christmas next.

I also got a lovely message today from one of the mums in the Achromatopsia Facebook group. She was telling us that someone that she rides horses with has Achromatopsia. I expect I will try to get Charlotte involved with horse riding if she wants to. They even offer it though the school!
