At the risk of making a milestone out of each missing tooth, Puff lost another tooth this week – while brushing his teeth. It was a close call – it was nearly lost down the sink, but he caught it in time!
The kids have been a little sick during the week, but we figured they were healthy enough to make the journey to the mountains on Saturday. As we had last year, we went to the apple orchard, had a look at the mountains from its lookout (Huff doesn’t think she’s been to the mountains until we look at a mountain from across a valley), and then, after a big lunch, we went to Katoomba to a second-hand bookshop.
Dad read some different stories to the kids, and we bought a few books.
Despite the weather, we also made a stop at the Leura candy shop. The kids were mostly well behaved, if a little distracted at times. Here’s Huff being a bit cheeky about which lollies she takes, and which she puts back.
Sunday had a chance to spend some time with her cousin over the weekend. The cot already seems very small.
Dad celebrated his birthday this week: the kids were really excited to think about presents to buy, how to decorate the house, and even created a treasure hunt around the house (with a spy pen) for presents. It was encouraging to see them channel their creativity into a show of affection.
