Another ordinary week has gone past. Dad was sick a few days this week, which mostly looked like resting for him, and some more sedentary activities for the kids. We watched Ratatouille together as a family: Huff found a lot of the first half quite scary, but started to enjoy it more in the second half.
We had a friend come over to watch a movie with us this week, so we had home-steamed dumplings. The kids were pretty excited about them.
Mum took Huff out for some Mum-daughter time after she sat patiently through some shopping activities.
Mum went to get a coffee, so Huff enjoyed every last drop of her babycino.
On Saturday, we went to have the kids’ eyes tested (there’s been some squinting and some complaints of headaches), and both are all clear! Huff probably enjoyed her test the most out of the two of them.
Afterwards, we had lunch together in a cafe. Not everyone was equally enthusiastic about the stop.
Huff is still small enough to go in the ergo-carrier, and was pretty excited upon waking from sleep to find she was riding on Mum’s back.
We visited one of the kids’ grandmothers on Friday, but didn’t really take pictures (Oops!). The kids also had a Sunday afternoon where they had their other grandmother to themselves.
Then for a special treat, we went to a place where the kids could ride on a golf cart to get to dinner. They were very excited.
We’ve had some time this week to reflect on the difference between academic development and social development. It continues to be a challenge to work out how the kids can move forward in different areas, but having a framework through which we can talk about it together as parents is helpful.
