An unusual week. We had an old friend visiting from overseas, so Dad took a day off to watch the kids, so that Mum could catch up with her.
But first, some mother-daughter time while Puff spent time at his second week’s school orientation.
Friday was the day for Dad to look after the kids. We had breakfast together at Circa in Parramatta, where Puff wanted to read all of the menu.
Huff wasn’t as interested in reading the menu so much, preferring the hook clip at the top of the clipboard to play with.
While Dad was paying the bill, the kids were trying out the different hats. This one seemed to work pretty well on Puff, even if it was a bit big.
After a trip to the local library, where we picked up a lot of books, Dad also took them to swimming lessons (they’re getting much better and more confident at swimming), but he still needs more practice trying to tie up Huff’s hair.
After swimming Dad took the kids out for lunch. They were really well behaved, especially given how busy the day had been! Impressively, Puff remembered having been to this cafe before, when he was three. The staff didn’t recognise him.
Saturday we spent time with the wider family as a belated celebration for Mum’s birthday.
On Sunday, to try and overcome some challenges we’d had with Puff’s behaviour, Dad and Puff walked to church, and then after church another couple of suburbs. It was a hot day, so we stopped for slurps on the way through.
Oh, and Huff had her first ever haircut. Do you think she enjoyed it?
