Starting to get back to normal this week: Mum still needing some extra rest, but definitely getting better.
Saturday Dad was trying to sneak out for a walk, but the kids were up all of a sudden, so we decided to go for a walk together. Huff lasted a few houses before taking a drink from her backpack. She held onto the apple for a few kilometres of walking, but not the backpack. Puff walked like a champion, as expected. We saw ducks, we walked all the way to a train station.
From there (after a bit of a wait at the platform) we caught a train one stop, which Huff was especially happy about.
Later in the weekend, while catching up with Grandragon, the kids went to Yogurberry: it’s still one of their favourite places to have dessert.
Mum made it back out to try some coffee, and we wanted to see Uncle J and C. Times have changed from when we only felt comfortable holding their hands when walking around. We’re still very strict about roads, but on the footpath, especially when we know the area, they are keen to explore a little.
Huff has actually taught us a lot about stopping to smellthe roses.
Huff has been a bit all over the place in her level of comfort around being dropped off for different groups that she’s in. Sometimes she’s happy to run and be a part of whatever it is, other times she’s really clingy, and doesn’t want to leave whoever is dropping her off.
We had something like that today with the preschool drop-off, and so we brought her out of preschool a little early today, and went for a babycino,
She’s very cuddly.
Even though she had a rest, she was back watching Puff have his swimming lesson, and cheering him on in her own way.
Oh, and Puff learned (from a school friend) how to go cross-eyed. He’s very proud of the new skill.
