I have my NVQ assessor coming tomorrow and she is watching us in the garden.

I am planning to do all the usual things we do, run around in silly circles, play with a ball, skipping rope, roll around, jump up and down etc.

I have also been advised to put in some health topics like feel our heartbeats before and after running and discuss the difference, and talk about our bodies (ie stretch our legs and arms/ head, shoulders, knees and toes song).

I will have ds aged 3, maybe mindee aged 1, and 6month old mindee. How am I going to manage 6month mindee?! Carry her around with me? Don't want her sat in a buggy for whole activity how can it make it easy for me but also involve baby??

Someone please remind me why I decided to do my nvq3??!! aarhgh!

Baby on blanket on floor

Roll ball to baby

Hang baby on your fingers

Head, shoulders.....etc with the baby

You'll be fine

My garden is half paved and half decked so not sure about blanket on floor (worried emotion), my ds is extremely clumsy and may well fall on her, run her over with coupecar . Also baby is only just sitting up unsupported, is a little wobbly so at an awkward stage. Sigh!

Sure I will manage just getting tense.
My crappy assessor ended up disappearig on long term sick, have only just met new assessorwho is super but |I am way behind and panicking I won't get finished and will fail!
