Week 5

Has gone fairly well. Our later routine had a couple of bumps - we have had Rah over a couple of times, and she has been up past her bedtime. The two of them wind each other up quite a bit, and after she has gone it make is all a bit harder for him to calm down and get ready to sleep. 

But mostly he has been ok. We have done a bit more in the last couple of days than we normally do. It has been fun, today especially, but it means we have fallen out of our routine. I think we are all very slightly sick and that has been a factor too.

But on the plus side, we have had some total wins with food this week. The Wook made fried rice one night, and was showing Atti how he cooked it, and he actually, voluntarily ate some at dinner. (Less voluntary was eating my teriyaki chicken meatballs). And the next night, when we had my niece here and Rah for dinner, he at half a taco. With lettuce. That he could see, and still ate it! So I'm a bit chuffed with all that.

We had a lovely day today. We spent the day at various parks with friends - people that are easy and simple and we just like hanging with - both me and Atti. And it was delightful. Need more of that kind of straight up thing I think. Only dramas were that Atti wanted everyone to come home with him.

And one of the cutest bits of the day was when we ran into a little boy from Atti's daycare at the park. We had walked there with a friend who used to take Atti for a half day each week, until she had her own baby a year ago. And it was so adorable watching him bring his daycare friend up to her and her daughter, with his arm around him, to introduce them. Oh the cuteness. 

And watching Atti and his friend from daycare teach my friend's little girl (who only just got walking down pat) to play soccer with them. So adorable.
