Another week, another blog post. We are counting down to Puff’s birthday, looking forward to a book week parade where parents are not allowed on-site to watch, and continuing to navigate all the peculiarities of life under lockdown.
There was time this week for Dad to walk Huff to school – not a long walk, but a hasty one.
There was time on the weekend for Dad to spend with each of the kids: Huff wanted to go for a walk.
Puff was keen to have ramen with Dad, so we made that happen too.
Mum has been a bit unwell this week; not COVID-19 (we checked) but this meant that Dad, only 11 years into parenting, took the kids to swimming by himself for perhaps the second time. Everything went smoothly, thanks to Mum conditioning the kids to know exactly what to do (their swimming continues to improve).
Lots of time at home, with Mum sick and Dad studying, there wasn’t a lot of spare time for outings – perhaps next week.
