Another week, another long weekend. This one was a bit quieter for us – a few short trips out, but no travel out of Sydney. A belated birthday present turned up this week – a wooden toaster. Proof that the simplest things are often the best – it’s a toy with no bells, whistles, or flashing lights, but he’s had a lot of fun with it. He’s even learned that “bread” goes into a toaster, and “toast” comes out.
Worried that he would end up being a kid who eats only a limited range of options from the kids menu, we saw the mexican kids meal on the restaurant menu, and he had a reasonable go at trying it.
His eating has been up and down: sometimes he’s happy to eat what we give him, other times he’s not such a fan. He generally has a couple of solid meals each day, but one (or two) meals in a day can be a struggle.
His reading and singing is getting better. Here he is with the rainbow song that his Grandragon taught him.
A trip to Darling Harbour on Friday saw Puff and his friend E have a grand outing – at one point they were even (unexpectedly) holding hands!
Just like last time, he really enjoyed his time on the little train that carries passengers around the harbour.
We’ve borrowed another couple of library books and he’s already memorised them. We dragged out a CD that we hadn’t played in a few months, and when we played it, he was beyond excited. It was like a little tape recorder had triggered in his brain – he kept asking for the CD to be repeated until he had it pretty well committed to memory.
