Noah's school celebrated it's own birthday a while ago, so there were lots of extra activities. The theme of all the festivities was ' Circus' so there were (circus) animals. Well okay, it was just a pony, but we didn't really like the idea of a tiger anyway.
There was also a lot of acrobatics.Here Noah is learning how to go up the stairs, but down the slide is still very scary. He can go up the stairs, if he wants to, but going down the stairs is still very difficult.
Hiding under a parachute is always a lot of fun.
And then there is the oversized trapeze
Also some handstands on the floor.
And lots of balloons, nothing says party more then lots of balloons!
Except for cake..... He seems to like the whipped cream. Not strictly for eating, but still........
And on the last day of the week of festivities, all the childeren went to a special circus, by the cliniclowns. It is a fantastic event that we can really recommend to every one (all children and adults as well!). Find more information here: Boemtata.
They have the same handstands and stair climbing acts as Noah demonstrated earlier. he loved to see everything, the most spectacualr things were too fast to capture on camera and too engaging to remember the camera.
Aftyer the show there was a lot of opportunity to meet the stars, but the experience was so overwhelming that a nap was needed.
He did not even need the specially created fluffly sky room.
One last picture from this week. Noah is starting to walk better and better, and he can now walk with just a tea towel for support. The problem is that he doesn't really like to, and is getting smarter and more assertive. So now when he sees the tea towel he sits on the floor and refuses to get up. The school has manged to trick him with a variety of other objects, so hopefully that will be enough until he gets confident that he can walk this way.
Last in this update, some pictures of the High Tea course that we hosted. We tested all the recipes and my teaching skills on some friends first. Recipes and bookings are still available :-). Here our charming assistant Maarten is showing the freshly made scotch eggs.
And here is Tom trying to show how hungry he is. Luckily, because there was a lot!
A close up with meat pies, sandwiches, bubbly, more sandwiches, black forest gateau, scones en some pims in the background.
And here I am for real, explaining the finer details of pastry making to my mum and aunt Annet. All went smooth, but we were too busy to make a lot of pictures, so you'll just have to believe us that the table looked even better then the first time (practice makes perffect after all)
Everything turned out reallly well, and it was a lot of fun to do for everyone.
Enjoy and hope to see you on saturday at Noah's (and mine) Birthday Party!
