Last week I decided on a semi hot day to take the little man to the Children's Garden in at the Royal Botanic Garden as I have never been before. I am not sure what I was expecting but it was more serene than I thought it was going to be and there was enough space for each parent to have their little bit of the sanctuary.
The little man loved the water shooting up from the ground at the entrance of the garden and played there quite happily for sometime before he noticed some other boys with toy trucks and cars who were walking down the to the back area. He asked me if he could play with them too and I said yes but as they were the boys toys in particular that they may not want to share with him. To his dismay this was the response he received so I said next time we come we will bring your toys and you don't have to share them if you don't feel like it.
We walked around the little channel there as well as a grotto like section. I can't get over how serene it was and that you are nearly in the city of Melbourne. We went back to the shooting water as this was more interactive, as no toys to push around, and he played happily until it was time to pack up and go home to get ready for kinder.
We found some friends in the garden who were watching over the children's garden entrance.
There is so much to see and do in your own backyard that sometimes I find it hard to fit it all in and seeing it through the eyes of a 3 year old is just beautiful.
