fire! fire!

Today has mostly been about fire. We made Christingles over the weekend and this morning, at breakfast, Bean asked if he could light them so we got out the matches and away he went.He had to use all the matches in the  box and then relight them until they burnt down to his fingers. This was then repeated when we ate dinner together with the added experiment of using cocktail sticks to toast mini marshmallows!

In between these two events I was left nursing and cuddling Plum who, after waking up for an hour, fell back to sleep for a further three and then after eating was very sick. Bean was amazing. As i was a little bit covered he voluntarily and of his own thinking went and got a bowl and then several towels and a carrier bag, all of which i made good use off.

And Pumpkin, well today he got himself dressed and was really excited to go to meet our friends at the park (which had to be cancelled last minute) It was such a shame as his reluctance to leave the house and the resulting negotiations and accommodations have been difficult to manage and so we were happy to all be keen to go together. However he was equally happy to be at home and watch Dennis the Menace.
