First week back at school, and the routines are starting up again. We had our first morning of swimming for the year today, and it was so routine that there are no photos of it! There’s something comforting about that kind of return, even as the kids keep getting older.
This bright young thing is about to have another birthday (tomorrow). She’s very excited at the thought of presents, but still thinks of others (wanting to bring cake pops for her swimming teacher and classmates for her birthday eve).
Here she was dressed in something completely impractical for impromptu climbing, but had a great time climbing anyway.
Her brother was more suitably dressed for such climbing, and was leading the charge. We also have some slightly amusing footage of him being just a whisker too short to work the flying fox in the same park.
The kids were very excited to be able to make this feisty pet “bear stack” – they may not have the order quite right, but this is perhaps a reference to a specific cartoon event.
Why are they called feisty pets? Their faces can change.
Oh, and Puff tried out for training band at school, and is now carrying this new instrument around (alto saxophone) and finding his way at playing it.
Next week: birthday adventures.
