week 261 / week 133

Some slightly evolving habits this week. We’re starting to see some more enthusiasm for duplo and lego in the kids.

Puff is pretty keen on Lego this week – he’ll concentrate step by step and build fairly complex vehicles. Dad is glad to see Puff so interested in something that he enjoyed as a boy.

Huff had a blueberry smoothie in a cup. Maybe she’s not entirely ready.

Puff was having some fun with his remote control car.

Huff found this toy at a friend’s house. This was her reaction when I told her it was called a “witch’s hat”.

She’s continuing to express her independence – she already insists on brushing her own teeth (new this week) – she does a pretty good job.

With Puff at preschool, Mum brought Huff in to have lunch with Dad, but then she slept through almost the whole thing.

She managed to wake up eventually and have some chips.

Huff is developing her personality. She’s strong-willed, fiercely independent, but still needs the occasional cuddle from Mum or Dad. She can count to 12, but is often too shy to try it.

Puff is more and more confident with other kids. He tends to think the best of people, which is generally a good thing. It’s hard to know the best way to teach him that not everyone in the world will be trustworthy. We’re treading carefully at the moment.
