Our time with Huff is changing – she’s starting to be strong enough to sit up with some assistance. This week saw her trying out some new favourite toys.
She made her first appearance at a high tea, in Katoomba, looking very elegant in her party dress (thanks to our guest photographer for this shot).
And she had her first go in the high chair. Puff had a bit of trouble sharing this high chair with her, but it seems to have worked out okay.
Friday night saw us (Mum, Dad, Puff, Huff and the Grandragon) head to Bankstown Sports Club for dinner, with gelato for dessert.
After a long walk around the facilities with Dad (some lift rides, seeing some live piano music, and looking around at lots of lights and numbers), there was still gelato to be had for dessert.
Saturday while Mum and Huff were having fun at the high tea, Dad and Huff went to Scenic World for an adventure. We took the train down the mountain (Puff was fine with the big gradient, but didn’t like “the dark”), went on a long walk along the raised walkway, and then caught the cable car back up.
We’re not sure what the highlight was for him, but he was certainly a big fan of the yoghurt that was on sale in the kiosk – it was the first thing he asked about once off the cable car.
Puff’s negotiation skills are improving too. Instead of his usual, somewhat lengthy, bedtime story, he chose a book for a much younger reader, but read “lots” of times. I offered “3” times as “lots”, and he said “a hundred”. I offered “10”, as that was the number of butterflies referred to as “lots” in a recent library book. He met me half-way, with “99”. And then, his next step was “98”. I decided to cave, and read that book once, and his choice of another book once as well.
