Naomi and her friend came bubbling out of the preschool room ready to head to our house. They chattered all the way to the car and home and then engrossed themselves in some game. It was lovely to watch. There are times I still wonder if I am doing right by Naomi but I know she is enjoying having routine time with her friend and feeling the loss of Joshua a little less.
When Joshua gets home, he and Naomi quickly start playing together and can hardly bear to pause for a snack because they have to fit a whole day without each other into a couple of hours!!
We went swimming today after school - it was our first sunny day for a while. It has been pretty dreary and a little rainy lately. It was fun to de-stress in the pool after the first full week of school.
We played the 21 questions game (to find out the animal) again at dinner - I think this is something the kids associate with Wendy now! Naomi made us laugh when she asked "Does it eat cars?" We wondered what on earth she was thinking of but that became obvious when she then asked "Is it a dinosaur?" Although I'm not sure dinosaurs ate cars.
My favourite Joshua quote: "I'm next, I'll think of something....OK. I've thunk of one!"
We all crashed after dinner - it has been a long, tiring week. The kids have definitely been getting more tired as the week has gone on. When we put them to bed tonight they didn't move!
