and finally, our update on today

Let see, dd made a card for a friend, and we made it into town to deliver it. It was dance class, which is still going well, although I’m still hating sitting in the changing room. Ds enjoyed it though – while I was getting dd ready to come home, he was chewing the handbag of the lady sitting next to me – oops! We didn’t measure our sunflowers today – although we have discussed why they are bending in strange directions.

Ds has a new achievement today – he can go forwards. He isn’t crawling yet, more a sort of commando effort, but he can definitely progress in a direction of choice. This may not be good news – time to pick up all the clobber from around the house. Oh and he managed to drink from a cup as well today – which might explain why he wasn’t interested in milk til nearly tea time! And I forgot to say that yesterday he fed himself his first banana.

Right, got a tiny bit of work to finish off so that’s it for blogging tonight.
