This week, when he wasn’t eating, there was a lot of climbing going on. We tried to call in on more play equipment than in a usual week in an effort to give Puff more of a chance to run around.
Poor Mum has been a bit unwell this last week or so, and so when Puff went down for his nap this afternoon, she was quite relieved to find – 4.5 hours later – that he was fine, and indeed still resting!
Saturday breakfast was with Uncle J and C, and Uncle J and Aunty C. Taking a rare break from reading Dr Seuss books, we saw him spend a happy 20 minutes or more playing with his blocks.
We helped him cope with the crowded nature of Glebe markets by taking a break climbing around on the equipment (and refusing to eat his Gozleme).
When on Sunday we found ourselves with a couple of extra hours, and so went down to Cronulla to have a look around – it was a little busier than we were expecting as they had a Spring Fair on. True to form he went to sleep just as we were arriving, but he managed to sleep for a while in the stroller as we walked around.
After a leisurely lunch at Alley Break, we finally made it to the promised play equipment, where he pushed himself to climb every piece of equipment where he could find a gap.
Today, we went to an indoor play centre. He had a great time in the ball pit, and climbing up and sliding down: with some encouragement, he even climbed up and down things that he’d previously lacked courage on.
Here’s a brief insight into what it’s like to wake up the boy in the morning: he’s in a bit of a bouncing phase at the moment.
