This week Huff seems to have progressed from getting up every night in the middle of the night, with Tweak, and visiting Mum and Dad in the middle of the night, to sleeping through. Time will tell.
We visited Uncle M and O this week, and Huff had the chance to try out a headlamp for the first time. Both kids were fascinated with having a torch they could play with, and had a good time.
Friday morning, Dad and Puff caught the train into the city together to go to coffee mornings before Dad started work. He wasn’t too happy about not playing screens on the train: this was his reaction. Screens continue to be a challenge for Mum and Dad to figure out: how much time is appropriate.
To that end, Puff picked a book about minecraft, and Huff picked a Thomas the Tank Engine book / play set.
Saturday night we took the kids to a bonfire a friend was running. The kids were a bit tired, but had a great time.
.
We toasted giant marshmallows: the kids tried to eat them, and had about half a one each.
Huff even made shadow puppets with her hands by torchlight.
Huff went to get a haircut.
And Puff and Huff went on a swing together.
Puff also had his first McDonalds birthday party.
And Huff helped Mum make some cupcakes, to take to a friend’s house.
We had some anxious moments this week talking Huff through her new toy “Caterpillar”, who was briefly ostracised by the other toys for “looking at them all the time”. They have since apologised (individually, with Huff doing all the voices), and are now spending time together, again.
