Henry enjoyed a leisurely boat trip along the Severn River near Worcester this afternoon. He was a star!

After dinner, however, we found him drawing on the carpet with crayons. I suppose there's a bit of balance somewhere in there.

G's first day at school

Here is what his school uniform looks like. Yes, that's a button down shirt and elastic-banded pre-tied tie under his jumper/sweater.
He has enjoyed his first, suffered no medical incidents, and looks forward to more.
Henry now gets to go to nursery on his own and enjoy some mummy or daddy time. :)

This is what happened when I asked George to go upstairs and find something to wear.

Soaring

The boys had the opportunity to fly their cousins' kites over the last weekend. A windy moor seems to be a good place. Henry spent quite a while with the dolphin kite, his other cousin's kite was a butterfly, and George spent a bit of time with the dragon kite. Good fun, but there is some technique to it which they haven't yet mastered. In due time. George's best bit was seeing them flying high in the sky. Henry kept being pulled down the hill; he was just barely big enough to hold on!
