Another busy week, but we managed to fit in quite a bit of family time. Huff continues her interest in Octonauts – she’s been playing with a toy stethoscope, and carrying Peso around in her stroller, then checking his heart to make sure it’s okay.
Puff had his first day of school orientation this week. To celebrate, Dad took him out for gelato – he was pretty excited about the gelato, but really the whole experience of school was a good one.
Here’s the craft that he did in orientation. I feel like one of those parents sharing every little drawing, but this one is a bit of a milestone, so I don’t mind sharing it.
Friday night Mum came and picked up Dad from work, and we went out for dinner in Chinatown. The kids were a bit tired, but they perked up at the prospect of going out to get ice cream.
We went to N2, where they make the ice cream in front of you with liquid nitrogen – we felt like bad parents keeping the kids out so late, but they really enjoyed it.
Saturday we had a birthday party in the morning, so we had the chance to play in a park. The ropes were pretty far apart, so he was hesitating at first, but he managed some serious climbing by the end.
After a while, Huff turned up to the party, and they both played around this play equipment. Huff was pretending she had a shop underneath the climbing area, and was selling “money” and “sailing boats”. It was a bit tricky scrunching underneath the space, but worth it for some early commerce.
Here are the kids at church – proof for the future that they would spontaneously get along when they were little. Hope we don’t need to prove it to them!
Later on the Sunday, they had a chance to sit on a friend’s motorbike. Puff was keen, but Huff wasn’t sure.
One last photo – we went out for gelato, and had the chance to take a little group photo.
Onward: three more weeks of school orientation to go!
