Yesterday was one of the hottest days so far this Summer and we decided to take the girls to a park in town. We sat at the cafè having something to drink while they were able to run around and climb on the jungle gym and play on the swings. It is a huge enclosed area with lots of space for them to play and they absolutely loved it. There are so many beautiful old trees offering enough shade for the kids to play under.
It truly was a lovely, relaxing afternoon and something we would consider doing again soon.
Last night they obviously were exhausted, and so were we! They literally slept like babies :)
We bought them each a little toy on Saturday at the Waterfront and Kiddy#1 chose a barbie-doll lookalike and Kiddy#2 chose a little creature that can fold into a ball, then when you put it on a magnetized strip (it is a little plastic tree with a magnetized button underneath it), the little ball unfolds into this little creature again while making some funny sounds. Quite cute.
Kiddy#1 now has 2 of these barbie lookalike-dolls. I get the impression that she actually gave one to Kiddy#2 yesterday! This is a huge step for her as she normally gets quite upset when Kiddy#2 wants to play with her toys. Twice yesterday she handed the doll to Kiddy#2 saying to me that it is Kiddy#1's doll.
They had so much fun playing together this weekend. Kiddy#1 is really starting to look out for her little sister. When she wandered off yesterday at the park, Kiddy#1 would run to her and bring her back to us (of course we were keeping an eye on both of them), and when she wanted to go into the play park, she took Kiddy#2's hand and they walked hand-in-hand with her to the jungle gym.
I am still trying to get Kiddy#1 to 'invite' Kiddy#2 to move into the same bedroom as her, but it hasn't happened yet :) I think if she feels it was her idea she would actually love sharing a room with her little sister... for now :)
