Flying visits

We had Jax and family overnight on their way to relatives. That was fun. SB was desperate on friday waiting for them to arrive, and when they did, she Big and Small vanished. The all slept in her bedroom without too much kerfuffle as well. We adults had wine and chat…

The next day we had the odd ‘stayed up too late and woke up too early’ melting moments, but on the whole they all still got on. Some stickering as a firebreak unfortunately was not entirely succesful, as I hadn’t realised SB’s attachement to some flowery thingy stickers – bad mummy! A short pause of story reading [barefoot animal stories] restored SB’s equanimity. Its clear that Big and SB get on like a house on fire, and have many character similarities. It was also good to see them and Small all playing together inmaginatively upstairs – lots of picnics, dollies and happy street. Small was desperately cute persuading BB to play with him. Unfortunately she is post MMR and with cold, so not at her peak!

So, when we saw them, they had fun with the wacky wigglers – small was totally engrossed. Unfortunately I didn’t get a photo of him roller skating down the hallway later on.

SB and Big really enjoyed sowing seeds together [summer sprouting broc [wok brok], broccoli romanescu and asparagus peas.]

But mostly there was a lot of noise and mayhem!

What fun. SB collapsed in bed tonight with angelina ballerina stories and barefoot princess. No such luck with BB – she has permafeeded and snoozed her way through the day, and resitance to sleep very high indeed!

PS, which 8 of you are up as dreadfully late as me? few minutes after posting this, there are 8 views on the linked flickr pictures!!
