10 things to do before you are 10

I've been doing my usual nighttime blog watching whilst bubba goes to sleep and there's alot of talk about Persil's new campaign:

Bear Grylls’ Top Ten Things To Do Before You’re Ten
1) Perfect the perfect hill roll
2) Become a hide-and-seek champion
3) Go sledging - on sand
4) Build a den - indoors or out
5) Build a rope swing
6) Nurse that sting
7) Try and count the stars
8) Make a mud pie
9) Make a compass
10) Pick your own pudding

The only ones I haven't done are 3 & 5 so I will have to participate with Bubba when it's his turn.

This got me thinking about the difference between my childhood world and Bubba's.
I remember playing outside for hours around our interlinking culdesac on our bikes, in and out of each others gardens, hide and seek etc we only had to check in at meal times. Now the thought of Bubba doing that sends me cold. don't get me wrong I want him to play but it's not the same world anymore and you just can't trust people.
I am adamant Bubba will play out doors starting this summer and we are about to try make our boring back yard a little more friendly and inviting. I'll be damned if he's going to spend as much time on an x box as his daddy.
I have some extra bits I want to do the Bubba...

Make a daisy chain
Plant and look after his own sunflower
Camp out overnight in the garden
Make sandcastles on the beach
Make snow angels

I can't wait. Even though I'm sad my baby is growing so fast but there is so much to look forward to!
