Have a nice day

We are back on form today :) Bean got up after only a slightly disturbed night (up twice) and after trying a breakfast unsuccessfully ploughed headlong into the day with track building for racing cars and train track lines too. Pumpkin joined him and they played together for nearly two hours with pumpkin taking a few breaks to go and repeat some of the puzzles he has been working on recently. Plum woke at 8.45 giving us plenty of time to get our things together and go out too. A little cautious, we went to a crafty group just in case bean lost his powers and needed to rest. But....he made an angel and a food craft and some scratchy art and cutting and sticking and he played in the soft play. Pumpkin did the food craft (obviously) and then played with the toys and in the soft play. Plum enjoyed taking it all in from the comfort of the sling and then had a wander around, again straying quite a distance even to the point where she couldn't see me, although I did note that she could see her brother and frequently turned to look at him.

The boys played for another couple of hours when we got home whilst plum and I did some chores and she had a feed and a nap in the process. Lunch was interesting as I hadn't done a food order this week and the cupboards are running low especially as we haven't made it to the shops either.

After lunch friends came to play. We had talked this through earlier today but Bean insisted that he felt okay and they had a lovely few hours with their friends enjoying a larger scale role play game involving rescuing a queen and fighting a king, there were lots of dressing up items involved plus all their bedding and bean bags and the emptying of the upstairs toy box. There was also some clay models and play dough, colouring, trains, racing cars, building bricks, Lego and a repeat of a game they made up the last time they visited called 'cuckoo.'

Needless to say this busy day wore Bean out and Pumpkin too (hurray!) Normal service seems to have resumed although I don't think we'll venture too far tomorrow just in case full energy reserves have not been replenished. Plus, much to my liking, there was very little iplayer and computer games today.
