If you've read my other posts you'll have a pretty good idea of how much this festival has impacted on our little, young family.
Loc...
Loc's learnt to make sure his mobile phone is turned off during a theatre performance.
Archie...
I think Archie's learnt a whole lot. About things that move. About colours, and sounds. About shadows and light. And about people - that there are lots in this busy, noisy world - each face a different one to the one he saw just a moment before.
Me...
I've learnt that there is so much more in the world that I can engage my baby boy in, outside of the comfort of our lounge room. I've rediscovered a confidence in my own ideas, and learnt how they can both work alongside and benefit my new role in life as a mother. I've enjoyed more smiles, giggles and coos this week than I've ever taken the time to notice in the routine of my days at home.
I guess this is my opportunity to thank the organisers of the Out of the Box Bloggers Project for inviting me on board, and for giving my family the opportunity and the little push we needed to get out and begin engaging our new family with the arts.
And thank you for reading! I also write about our little old life with Archie over on my personal blog Cassie Nguyen is Homing, and I'd love for you to stop by and say hello.
I hope you've enjoyed your Out of the Box Festival experience as much as we have. See you again in 2014 for our all-grown-up OOTB toddler experience!
