So far so good.
Heather dropped off Jasper at about 9ish and hung
around for half an hour to chat and make sure he settled, which he did
pretty quickly. Tao and Jasper played together mostly nicely, bar a few
tantrums here and there coz Tao wouldn't do exactly what Jasper wanted
or say things exactly as Jasper wanted them said and Jasper happened to
have something Tao decided that he wanted (mainly because he saw Jasper
had it).
Took them to the park shortly after lunch and they
played at the playground for a while, they were keeping warm scurrying
around, Ru and I were freezing, my hands went numb trying to keep her
feet warm. I was going to take them to the library but they were
stirring each other up too much so I opted for skipping that and just
hitting up the shops for milk and biscuits and dip and cheese.
Bought
the boys a sausage roll each, got a lot of comments about having three
kids obviously so close in age (I pointed out one wasn't mine) and a
well meaning passer-by warned me that someone might steal Ru seeing as
she was strapped to my back. I assured them that anyone with that kind
of idea pretty much had to remove the Ergo to get Ru out and I think I
would notice something like that.
Bought some bubble mix and
interesting things bubble blowing paraphernalia without either of the
boys noticing, might let them play with that outside tomorrow after or
instead of going to the playground, it was bloody cold yesterday.
They
spent the rest of the day watching Playhouse Disney, Jasper is
completely enamoured with the 24 hour kids' shows. As far as Tao goes,
obviously I need to be more interesting.
Need to clean up a bit and see if I have any chance in hell of getting anything done.
