There were no big dramas this week, and Arley's behaviour was definitely better than last week! He was just your plain naughty three year old, not the insane tyrannical monster ruling our house. He was very into dressing up, which he has always shied away from, and he finally had fun playing with Carmie and their extensive dress-up box.
We had a very long swimming session on Friday with the kids' new homeschooling friends (this still didn't tire the kids out!). On Monday Carmie's Montessori day was postponed until Wednesday, so she came with Arley and I to his playgroup. We then had lunch down on the harbour, as it was one of the only moments this week when it didn't rain. We had the kids friend Hannah over for a play after she was done with school (Arley was SUPER excited about this - I only wish Hannah was just as excited to play with him!). On another morning of no rain, I took the kids and Bella to Dolphin Point. It was such low tide, it was mostly sand, but this brought about a whole new level of exploration. The kids had so much fun there, as did Bella. We also had an impromptu playdate with Carmie's homeschooling buddies and her good school friend Ness, down at Narrawallee Park. This was all well and good until it started to rain. However, it has been raining so much here (23 days straight!!) that this didn't seem to phase the kids at all and they just kept playing on the slippery equipment. We only left when a storm rolled in. It was still raining today, so I took the kids to the craft/story time at the library, and then we went to the indoor play centre at McDonalds. Being vegetarian, we have never been there before, and Arley kept calling it Old McDonalds :) They had so much fun playing there that we stayed almost three hours, and this is what happened when we left:
