After a disturbed night where Plum slept beautifully in her strange surroundings but Pumpkin didn't, I got to lie in until 9 and even grabbed an afternoon nap thanks to the large number of family about.
FA#3 played with our collection of slings today and Plum was a very willing model. Plum also demonstrated blw successfully, mostly sucking the topping off pizza and making a mess!
The boys played happily in the garden with L, 7, and J, 3. Lots of chasing games, hide and seek, moving garden furniture to perform shows to each other and water fun with the hose pipe. This did end when Bean sprayed water at the cat flap, obviously spraying water through it and into the kitchen. There were also a few wet children and clothes about. We sat in the garden and Plum felt the grass between her toes for the first time.
Bean has made colouring books for everyone today by stapling two or three plain pages together and drawing a picture on the front cover. I find it interesting what he absorbs without explicit teaching, he's worked out that books have a front cover, multiple pages and bind together (usually) on the right.
Bean and Pumpkin spent considerable time building towers with blocks and seeing who could build the tallest one without it falling over. This game then moved on to building a city with different designed buildings in it. It's worth noting that Bean's were always symmetrical. Pumpkin set about putting stepping stones between the buildings as it turned out they had built it on water.
