School holidays – more late nights than usual, and not much in the way of sleep-ins. The kids are a little more prone to naps than usual, but generally keep pushing through.
Huff continues in her slow journey to be able to eat a mini bowl of ramen by herself.
Puff is in full-speed reading mode, working through the 400+ pages of the mysterious benedict society in a day or two.
Dad tried to give Mum a sleep-in on Saturday, and took the kids for a walk to get breakfast pizza from the most-recently-opened nearby pizza place (there are probably 6 now within walking distance of our place). Huff had about 3 slices of the cheese pizza she was sharing with Dad.
Puff wanted to try and eat a whole cheese pizza himself. He did. This is a rather muted face of victory. Chatting with the kids over breakfast, Dad tried to find the highlights of the holidays so far. Puff said “this – getting pizza”. Dad was quite chuffed.
That afternoon we had a birthday party for a friend – Huff was given a bunch of balloons as a post-party gift, which was perhaps the best thing to happen to her that day.
On Sunday, Dad and the kids walked to church. Last time, Huff had complained a lot near the end of the walk. This time, on arriving at the driveway to church, she put her hands in the air and said “I didn’t complain once!” with great pride.
To try and encourage the kids to be more active, we found a couple of inexpensive scooters. Huff is a big fan of hers.
