Big week. Dad picked the kids up from school once this week – they’d had peer support, and each had been given a balloon (Puff had already handed his to Dad).
The kids went to their first PY winter camp, at which they had a lot of fun. They spent much of their time in “creche”, where they could play with toys and have fun away from the bigger kids. Here’s Huff trying out a wooden sandwich.
The kids had a great time at meals (eating a fair amount each time), and slept pretty well on top bunks.
Dad was pretty busy working during the weekend, and the kids were missing him a bit, so when we made it home, they each had some one-on-one time. Huff chose to do some scootering (and a surprise babycino), and Puff wanted some help with some computer programming.
Looking forward to a regular weekend (and maybe some family time away in the school holidays).
It’s hard to make time for the kids a priority; that undistracted, unhurried time that’s so valuable. There are so many distractions: from smartphone screens to chores, to the frustration that comes from carving out the time and then the kids don’t want to do something “significant” enough. The best thing I’ve come up with is to make as many times where this can happen as possible.
