week 349 / week 221

Still a few night activities this week, despite the kids being a bit sick. Friday night was the night foodie markets. With Dad still commuting home, the kids had an early dinner before the queues picked up at the markets (Huff is eating dumplings, Puff is eating crepes). They were pretty happy with that, and then we went out to get Knafeh afterwards, with Dad.

Saturday morning we went out for breakfast with Grandragon for her birthday. The kids had a great time sharing the presents they’d made or recommended for her.

Though they really enjoyed playing in the park afterwards. Puff is probably reaching the edge of the physical challenges afforded by these kinds of playgrounds, and will be looking for fresh challenges. Huff is a bit anxious about trying new things, but having had a single success on a piece of equipment, she’ll go back and try it again and again. She still likes being pushed on the swings by her Dad, though.

Puff is getting to be quite the confident wheelie-rider (though he had a stack today, which dented his confidence a little). We had bit of a wait for food here, so Huff amused herself by pulling faces.

Puff ordered a giant milkshake here, which he managed to finish, impressively.

Later that day, while visiting his grandparents, Puff lost another tooth!

Then last night, cousin E was visiting, and stuck around for a couple of stories before bedtime.

We visited Doc for his birthday this week, and uncle J read stories to Huff. She has a big appetite for books at the moment, and is putting up with a few more questions than usual about what letters and words she might be seeing on the page.
