More screen time than we might have hoped this week. We’re realising that Puff is far more expert at the screens that little Huff, and trying to find some screen games for her. Thus far she’s a big fan of Toca Tea Party, and Toca Kitchen Monsters.
Puff and Huff came into Dad’s work for a visit this week, and to drop off some Christmas baking. Puff (after asking permission) made up some maths problems to solve on the whiteboard wall.
Later in the week was a dentist trip for Mum, Huff and Puff. Puff is now using toothpaste when he brushes his teeth, and is the proud owner of an “adult” toothbrush.
Huff enjoyed her time at the dentist, and now has a (sigh) pink toothbrush.
Friday night we visited Uncle M and O for dinner. The kids liked being on the balcony and looking at the view, though there was some confusion about whether thunder could be seen, and lightning heard.
Dad and Puff went for long overdue haircuts on Saturday.
They were less happy at a cafe, after arguing about who should be allowed to play pick-up-sticks, and who should play dominoes.
Eventually (at a different cafe) the smiles returned.
There was even some time to pose for photos.
We also managed to find time to catch up with A&D, and Puff had the chance to play a much stronger opponent at chess. He took the defeat well, and we look forward to a rematch in a year or so. Huff also showed off her prowess in saying “Yellow” rather than “Lellow”.
Family Christmas Eve celebration this year was watching the new Octonauts Christmas Special with the kids, then dinner and a relatively early night. The kids are excited to see what will happen on Christmas Day, but you’ll have to wait until next week to find out!
