week 385 / week 257

Lots of school uniforms this week. We had Puff’s first day of primary school (he’s in a 3/4 class and enjoying it so far). Huff wore a dress to celebrate.

Afterwards, Dad took Huff for a play on the playground: she’s becoming more ninja-like in her climbing ability (climbing across chain bridges that would once have left her a blubbering mess). It remains true that she will patiently sit on the swing until you tire of pushing her, not the other way around.

We stopped for lunch on Friday at a cafe, and Huff was very excited, as you can see in this photo with Mum.

On Saturday, we went to Bilpin to do some fruit picking. There were some that Huff could reach.

But mostly they teamed up, and had a great time exploring the place.huff and puff selecting fruit

There were even chances to run wild for a while.

Huff was so worn out from the fruit picking that she was asleep when we stopped for lunch. Realising this was the last chance for pre-school cuddles with a sleeping Huff, Dad volunteered to carry her in from the car.

The next day, Huff was keen to make a peach pie with Mum. She did a great job, and then didn’t want to eat it as it “tasted funny” (i.e. exactly like a peach pie, but not something she’d tried before).

Here they are on Huff’s first day of school.

They were pretty weary of being photographed, but they still found the “Dad – look behind you – a spiderweb” funny enough.

Huff, overall, has enjoyed school so far.

See you next week, where we’ll be looking back over Huff’s birthday!
