Summer coats

The boys both have a new summer coat and Thomas was very keen to wear his when we bought it. Its been on and off with the weather so there has been a lot of moaning. Last week in the Zoo it was warm enough to walk around for a little while without a coat.

But finally they have been able to wear the new coats this week and weekend. Its not really warm yet but whilst they are running around in the playground its warm enough for them. Mummy's standing by to watch the kids play are better off still wearing their winter coats as I found out from experience.  Our building comes with its own playground. When we got here it was covered in snow but slowly the slides started being visible and then the kids started to appear after school time. Thomas is completely used to making friends now and just walks up to boys and start interacting with them. Its very sweet also to see now how he is protecting his brother. Unfortunately he walked into a group of boys fighting (or playing a fight) and managed to get hit in the face. It didn't hurt too much and was a good way to explain that fighting is not so great. They learn quickly. Jasper already managed to climb the most advanced bit of this playground so I think soon we have to venture out to the bigger playgrounds in Central Park.
