Torso carry - but not quite as good as S does it.

Lovely Barbecue in Pinner

Despite adverse weather forecasts, a large group of mums, babies, older children, and even three partners made it to K's house in Pinner for a barbecue in June. We managed to eat outside for a while, until the heavens opened and we rushed inside to save the carriers! The food and the older kids we left outside. As usual we started off with catch-ups and general conversation before getting into the nitty gritty of carriers. There were a lot of MT conversations as K is finding that her ds will no longer be wrapped and is trying to find the perfect MT. I am still trying to find the perfect wrap length and practise my BWCC. Some wraps changed hands (hooray, I now have Aqua Waves) and S demonstrated her amazing torso carry, with only a sarong-type piece of cloth.
Highlight of the day was seeing five one-year-olds wrestling for cheese sandwiches on a multi-coloured parachute. Thanks v much to K for having us and hope it wasn't too terrible to clear up.

Half-term impromptu sling meet

A group of Harrow area Mums took their babies and older kids to Fantasy Island in Sudbury for a half-term treat. It wasn't a sling meet as such....but three out of the four mamas brought slings, and we ended up outside in the summer house doing wrap demonstrations. There was a lot of interest from the other parents there, and a couple of people came up and asked to see how we wrapped our babies. It was a great day, and all the kids enjoyed themselves, especially the three babies, who sat in their high chairs and shared their lunches. Interesting also to see that the Burger King there also offers healthy sandwiches and baked potatoes alongside the usual menu.
