Last Saturday morning me (Phoebe) and Vicky
had the joy of looking after Zachary, so we took him to one of our favourite
places- IKEA. Why take a baby there? Vicky needed a photoframe and we knew the
store would provide enough entertainment for an eleven month old (and judging
by his smiling face in the photos, he really was entertained).

One particular highlight- for us adults
anyway- was parking in the buggy friendly parking space - what a novelty!
Zachary wasn’t fussed as we drove around and around until we found one of the
spaces we were entitled to.
What did Zachary get up to? He loved eating
lunch in the big cafeteria and, for once, most of his food didn’t end up on the
floor.

Zachary tried out lots of the toys in the
kids’ department. He wasn’t so sure about the reindeer rocker but loved the
orange chair – perfect for ‘peek-a-boo’ games.

By far, Zachary’s favourite toy was the
mirror with foam doors - his ‘lift-the-flap’ books had come alive! Zachary
played ‘peek-a-boo’ with himself for ages and seemed upset when we moved on -
could this be a possible birthday present?!

Tired from all the fun in the kids’
department, Zachary fell asleep in his pushchair as we walked around the ground
floor. We didn’t mind though as it gave us a chance to have an energy boosting
coffee!
Once Zachary stirred we headed home and
were back in time for Mummy and Daddy to hear all about Zachary’s exciting
adventure. What a lovely trip!
