Simon received one more gift for his birthday. He was happy to get a package with his name on it.
Iris also wanted to help to open it.
But Simon opened it up all by himself and says thank you to Auntie Betty and Uncle Henry.
Iris was sad so got a piggy back ride from me.

Iris really likes peanut butter. She says 醬 or Jiàng (sauce) when she wants more on her bread. She ends up scraping off all the PB and not eating much bread.
Finger licking good!
Simon put together one of his birthday toys this evening and both of them had tons of fun with it.

Simon can get pretty frustrated with Iris trying to copycat him all the time but they have their good moments like drawing together at the kitchen table.
Or playing on our new rug.
Or Iris trying to use a hand roller to give Simon a back massage.
And their probably final time playing with this dinosaur cut out.
It was a good Sunday. We even had time to bike to a park for Simon’s previous classmate’s pirate themed birthday party.
We seem to be finally on the road to recovery but we all still have this nagging cough that takes the energy out of us. Anyone with a remedy to recommend?

Kids had swim class this morning and Iris was really into it. She actually enjoyed “bobbing” in and out of the water, scooping, splashing, doing “big arms”.
Simon must have used up a lot of energy too since he fell asleep while running errands. (His lesson is in the deeper pool so I don’t get to see him while in the pool with Iris.)
We went to see about a piano for the kids then stopped by to do a bit of shopping. Iris gravitated towards a wagon and broom.
In the evening, we walked nearby for dinner and Iris was wearing a sweater without a hood. She saw that Daddy and Annie were wearing their hoods and kept on saying 帽子 or Màozi (hat) and pointing to her head so Annie finally gave her the hood off her jacket.
She sort of looks like she is wearing one of those old style judge wigs.

So update on our illness, we are finally almost all better. Just some residual cough but in a few days we should be all well. Simon went back to school on Tuesday and I was at work all week and Ron worked from home half the day on some days. Apparently this bug is making its rounds. Keep well if you can!
With daylight savings it has been nice to come home and still have some sunlight to sit in our front room and read to the kids.
Looking forward to the weekend with these two.
