week 88

This week has seen life start to return back to normal after a lot of adventures. As such, we’ve spent a little more time at home, and a bit less time travelling around.

Puff continues to change, whenever we think we’ve pinned him down, or managed to get used to the way that he behaves, he mixes things up again.

He’s now having a single book before bed (followed by his bible story, then a prayer). This book is generally a 60-page Dr Seuss book, where he can often complete the lines of the story (though not completely… that would be a little too scary!)

Earlier this week, there was a bit of a reorganisation of his toys: he helped.

A visit to a friend brought a playdate with their new puppy: he seems to far prefer cats (chasing them around and talking to them) but there’s hope yet that he might become a dog person.

We’re starting to find ourselves fighting a turf war: which parts of the house can we store things that appear interesting, but are not among the things that he’s allowed to touch. Here we are finding that the nappy change bag can no longer be stored near his cot.

He is ever fascinated with “yellow digger” and “orange digger” – the earth moving equipment near Dad’s work. Today, visiting Dad for coffee, Puff spent a couple of minutes in Dad’s arms, just looking out over the earth moving equipment and talking about what it was doing.

He is enjoying playing “one / back again” at various opportunities, and if he lacks a towel to use as a prop, he’ll just use his hands.

Lastly, he’s continuing his love of slides, park, and playground equipment. He has a short video of a recent adventure on a slide.

He has an incredibly infectious laugh if something takes his fancy: this week it was being chased in the park – it gave him the giggles.
