One week school holidays

I had fun with Jonathan this week during his one-week school holidays. Initially, I thought he would be bored at home, so last weekend, I bought a few bolouring books for him. Well, I only took out the colouring book on Fri!

So what did we do during the week? Every morning without fail, Jon would set up his "house" (which is a collapsible tent) and pile some cushions inside it. Then he would line the rest of the cushions outside the house, followed by some of his fave toy cars, trucks, and soft toys. Then he will grab this basket of bits and stuff and dump the whole load inside the tent house! It's a mess. But he just likes to line things up...oh, and the line includes a side table and a couple of low stools!

Some days, we will play with his toys from his construction vehicles including the dump truck, excavator, and diggers. Some days, we would read the books that he picks. His favourites books for now are Tykeosaurs, That's Not My Dinosaur, and a Diggers Activity book. We even played ping pong with balloons!

One afternoon, I had asked a friend who was on leave if she was bringing her daughter to swim, and if we could join them. I did buy a bigger float and Jon had fun floating in the pool while being pulled by Simon.

I didn't take many photos. I just enjoyed the time with him, and I took power naps when one kid naps and just before the other woke up.

But Simon managed to take some photos of Jon playing with Tigger. Jon even groomed Tigger with a Mickey Mouse brush!
I don't know what Jon was doing in this photo. But he sure has lots of drama! and Tigger is such a timid cat that he didn't even dare to venture to the grass area...just sniffed a little here and there.


How was your week if your child was on holiday? Hope you managed to take some time off work to spend with him/her.
