Lots of people and adventures this week. Huff and cousin E had a great time playing at a play centre, despite the anxiety in the photo.
Puff continues to adjust to life after losing another tooth: he’s now lost all his front teeth, which is giving him a new approach to eating certain types of foods.
Dad and Puff spent some one-on-one time together over the weekend, getting a haircut, and then playing chess again. He’s continuing to improve.
We caught up with Aunty S, who came over bearing gifts: new toy kangaroos, and a new book to read. They even played “collect the chicks” together, a game that Huff and Puff picked up again the next day, with the two kids playing against their toy kangaroos.
While Dad took Puff to a post-church birthday party, Mum and Huff headed into the city to get custard puffs (really, the train is enough of an adventure for her at the moment).
As if that wasn’t enough excitement for a weekend, we went up to the Central Coast to a friend’s farm, where they were having a bonfire. It was a chance for Huff to wear her Kitten Mittens again.
Puff had a great time toasting marshmallows and talking to other kids his own age, which was encouraging to see.
Huff, tired towards the end of our time in front of the bonfire, was happy to sit with Dad for a while and watch the flames.
The family went to the movies on Monday for a cheap ticket special on Home, and then Dad took Huff for a short walk afterwards to get a babycino. When we were waiting for the babycino to be made, and the barista offered her a marshmallow, she said “we toasted marshmallows at a bonfire the other day”, so it definitely made an impression!
