Well, as previously reported, they were all a bit lax in the getting up stakes today – good job we weren’t going anywhere this morning. I did have some plans to get into? few things, but that went by the board. By thetime breakfasting/brunching/dressing/packing bag was done it was time to be going out pretty much.
Off again to another CHEF? thing – this time get together at a local (as if anything HEdders do is local to us, except visiting us…) soft play centre.? Pretty standard climbing about soft play sort of place really – nice spiral tube slide though. But a nice enough place, a lot more space for parents to sit around, and babies to poddle about in though than most, which was nice, they even have? a few sofas. Reasonable food a drinks as well. THe groups gets a decent discount and a few tea/coffee thrown in
Of course you need to know who the HE children are so you can play with them. Once I managed to get SB introduced to a few then she was much happier charging about, though didn’t really liek the footbal bit much (there is a small football area, with soft ball. but she isn’t really much of? football girl, and the others were moslty bigger than her bya? few years) but as ever really hard to drag her away from the place while others were still there.
BB poddle about a fair bit, she did go in the toddler bit? couple of times, though I think she preferred the bigger kids place, managed after? bit of effort to clamber up the sort of solpey-step thing to the top of the little slide. I played with BB? and sat and drunk coffee and chatted with other HE parents so good to get to knew? a few more new faces. Shame I can never remember their names to start with.
Eventually dragged SB away to go home to find Helen resting with? a migraine. There was a present for SB form her godmother in the post, so she opened that. A rather nice Roman jigsaw. A bit on the hard side for her at the moment, but she did a lot of the edge and some of the middle before she subcontracted the rest out to me. BB wakign up part the way through didn’t help much with a jigsaw on the floor (must get the old table we ahve been offered from my parents to put in the playroom for a BB free zone.)? Plenty to look at talk about in the jigsaw though
Cooked tea for them – tofu and veg stir fry and noodles, at SB’s request – what a good girl 
!, a bit of play and then bed. SB took a little time to get to sleep, but probably not surprising.? Must hit sack soon as well.
