When Isaac met Katy - chelseamamma.co.uk

I had completely forgotten that the South West Baby Show was on this weekend, and it was only by chance that hubby spotted a tiny article in the local paper that CBeebies star Katy Ashworth would be attending on Sunday.

Now, if you have little people you will know who I am talking about. Katy is the star of I Can Cook, as well as appearing in the CBeebies Christmas Panto, Justins House and even hosting with Cerrie, Alex, Sid and Andy.

On Sunday morning, I dropped hubby at work and set off for the Heathlands Hotel in Bournemouth to the baby show. We had a wander around, and I am sorry to say I was mostly unimpressed. The event appeared to be filled with Baby Swimming classes and silver fingerprint jewellery makers. I did find a baby ballet class for Eliza though and Isaac had great fun painting at the Creation Station.

Then, it was time for Katy.

The kids were asked to shout her name VERY LOUDLY four times before she bounced into the room.

Katy had the audience eating out of her hand from the first few seconds. She was bright, bubbly and entertaining with a mix of songs, slapstick and chat, all of which required audience participation.

The show went on for about half an hour and we heard all about her holiday to the Isle of Banana. She then proceeded to teach us the language of Banana, which as you can imagine the kids found hilarious!!

This is the first time I have seen Isaac properly belly laughing at something. Even though this picture is a little blurry, I love it as you can see the joy on his little face!

She also told the tale of Billy Goats Gruff and had three audience members participating on the stage as the goats. She them picked on one of the dads to play the Troll, which was hilarious!

As you can see the little ones were loving every minute.

When she had finished her performance, she was taken off to meet the exhibitors and then it was meet and greet time.

She was so natural with the children, getting off her chair to greet them and make them feel special. Isaac normally cries if he meets someone from the TV, but this time he was scooped into her arms for a big squeeze whilst she talked to him about his favourite Mike The Knight dragon!
