Kiddichino

The coffee shops in Adelaide offer the typical US fare as well as kiddichinos - small cups of thick milk foam sprinkled with chocolate powder and with a side marshmallow.

The kids love their kiddichinos and even though Wren spills his fairly frequently it gives Mum and I time to down our lattes and share a moment.

Wren is now fetching an apple to add to his making "an airport" game. When I ask him what happens at the airport he tells me all the things "are going airport, " where they will "go vroom at the airplane."





Mum took the kids to the playground this afternoon and I washed my hair, lay in the hammock and generally recovered from vacation. Many of you may recognize the problem that when you take your kids on holiday you still need a holiday from your holiday (aka a break from the kids). Until we are rich or old enough to solve this problem vacation is both wonderful and an exhausting break from the kids routines. Everything from bedtime to dinner has to be reinvented.
