Roll over, Roll over

Saturday 4th August

We have nothing planned this weekend except the arrival of Bronwyn, an elderly Golden Retriever who is coming to stay for 10 days.


After yesterday's trip to Battle we found the story online and pictures of the tapestry. We also found an animated version so the boys have been repeatedly watching head chopping, eye poking, limb amputation, in moving tapestry!

We had very few toys out today and mostly there was colouring and sticking and making occurring. Except for Plum who played with this large wooden hammer for ages. She definitely hit herself at least once but was most distraught if you took it away from her. Today is also the day she mastered rolling from her back to her front, although I haven't seen it yet. She whizzed around the living room floor mostly turning and shuffling rather than rolling but it wont be long.


When daddy suggested taking the boys out (with a bike ride in mind) they both jumped up and went to play happily in the garden! 

Plum has been enjoying celery during her food trials and this week we remembered to keep the bulb and have placed it in water to watch it grow. I have included the first photo, shot after two days.

Daddy measures the boys monthly on our wall. The markings in the photo are two months of growth from Pumpkin, it measures one inch in two months. At least this gives reason to his large appetite and unusual sleeping patterns in the past days.
