Ilonabatics

Gran Helen and Uncle Nick

A couple of weeks ago Gran Helen and Uncle Nick came to stay, and help with the kids while Veronika had the week off.

We managed a weekend trip up to the woods, where Bluet and Ilona ran off to play in some pre existing shack.

Teeth

Bluet lost another tooth, as you can see (she has 2 new ones coming through). The tooth fairy came a day late [because of forgetfulness on the part of the fairy]. Bluet told us this was probably because she had lost the tooth that fell out ('somewhere in the kitchen'), so was not under the pillow; as the previous tooth she lost (and lost) was also not under the pillow, but the tooth fairy was not late, this must've meant that the second time the tooth fairy must've come by, and not found a tooth under the pillow, and as Bluet had her mouth shut whilst sleeping the fairy couldn't see whether or not the tooth was gone, and therefore had to come back to check again the next day before leaving the money. 

Skiing

This being Switzerland Emily took Bluet and Ilona skiing a couple of weekends ago. Here they are enjoying the slopes. As Wilder doesn't really like to leave his house, he and I stayed at home. And he ate his sock.

Sock in Mouth

For a couple of weeks now Wilder has been fascinated with his feet, eating his big toe at any opportunity. However, he is happiest when he manages to successfully transfer his sock from his foot to his mouth, like this:




(Bluet and Ilona also think this is hilarious)
