Tuesday 17th July Day Two of 'daddy at home' We got busy rearranging the boys bedroom today. Tidying up and moving furniture out ready to put bunk beds in. Both Bean and Pumpkin helped screw and unscrew pieces of furniture using 'daddy's drill' and helped to decide where we are going to put things. I then took the small ones to the family centre for a play session whilst daddy put two dismantled beds up into the loft and brought down the bunk bed sections and started to put it together. By the time we returned the room was lovely and clean and almost ready to start putting back together. The boys helped move furniture around and decide final positions and we are all really pleased with it. They spent a large proportion of the rest of the day playing on the top bunk and making a den from the bottom bunk. At the play session several people we meet regularly exclaimed 'she's wearing pink!' it's not that I don't like pink (although it is not my favourite colour by a long shot) but I do object to the notion that Plum should only wear pink. There are many colours in the rainbow and we like to explore them all. However it is amazing how already the boys have decided that Plum's favourite colour is pink. Often Pumpkin will state, 'Plum will like those flowers, they are pink!' Pumpkin has also announced that his hair is too long and needs cutting, which is great in theory but I think the realisation of a hair cut will be more tricky. I might be wrong, we'll see.
