With this weeks focus being on animals Ashton and I decided to do 'Tummy Time' outside today. I put down a little blanket so that the majority of his body was on the mat, but still allowing his feet and hands to touch the grass. This was the first time Ashton had really felt grass and there was still a little bit of dew left on it too so his feet and hands were having quite the sensory experience!
I placed all of the plastic animals all around the top of Ashton and lay him on his tummy to begin exploring. At first Ashton kept his head down, but as soon as he lifted his head he discovered his animal friends awaiting him and I think he got a pleasant surprise! He began looking around the line up of animals and making all sorts of chatting noises.
Having the animals placed around Ashton definitely seemed to encourage him to move his head around and look up. The grass on his hands and feet also got him moving a lot more and we managed to get some fresh air and a change of scenery while we had tummy time!
