This week has flown past with a lot of busyness for dad. While Dad’s been at work, Puff has been visiting some new friends. First, he had a chance to meet his old friend J’s new little sister R. Here they are resting on the mini couch (one of Puff’s favourite places to be).
Later in the week, he had the chance to meet baby E. here he is, trying to prove that he’d make a competent big brother if the opportunity arose.
At other times during the week, he was very busy, and so when there were chances to rest, he couldn’t resist: here he is catching up on some sleep, with Spot standing guard. It’s worth pointing out that he grabbed the hat himself (despite being restrained in the car seat) and put it on his head.
After dad went to a funeral on Saturday morning, Puff, Mum and Dad headed to Dulwich Hill for breakfast to meet some other friends. Here he is playing with a toy at the cafe table. From there he headed to the nearby park, where he climbed up the biggest slide in the playground – as high off the ground as Dad’s head!
Sunday afternoon was lunch at T,R and E’s house. Dad made his first pavlova, and Puff licked his first beater (it was just cream, no sugar). He was highly skeptical at first, but once he tasted it, he was only too happy to give it his all.
He made up for the lack of sleep by surprising us on Sunday night by going to sleep from 5pm to 9am! We checked in on him several times, but he seemed determined to catch up on missed sleep, so we let him stay down.
This week we’ll have the first Easter when Puff is going to understand what is happening around him. Still trying to work out what traditions to start – so far we’ve decided not to have too much chocolate in the house, and concentrate on hot cross buns (already something of a favourite for him).
