Weather: Another perfect warm and sunny day
Isabella has been able to cycle without stabilisers since last summer, but not without Andre running along with her and staying right next to her. Yesterday she managed to stop by herself, while before she would shout stop! to Andre and he would need to catch her and the bike. Then today she managed to also start by herself. Andre has been holding the bike at the back for her to then start without wobbling over. Then this morning she did it herself without realising that Andre wasn't holding the bike for her. When we told her, she was very proud of herself and had no more problems doing it herself. And no need for Andre to run along anymore, she now cycles all across the field! Next challenge is cycling on the road/ pavement.
Isabella started building a box fort yesterday which Tabby decided he really likes too. Isabella made it all cosy with a blanket and a soft toy, which Tabby then goes and mess up by playing with the soft toy and blanket. Isabella was not impressed. I didn't see it happen, but there must have been some kind of stand off between the two of them which ended in BIG tears from Isabella, saying that Tabby tried to scratch her with BOTH paws! I didn't see it happen so I don't know if Tabby was playing or was annoyed at her not letting him inside. Anyway, we then built Tabby his own box fort and tried our best to make it interesting to him by adding ribbons and feathers. It did work mostly.
Tabby also joined us in the garden for a nice long play. He loves hunting for bugs in the grass but mostly just lies in the grass observing which is nice. Still on his leash though.
Our neighbour brought us lots of rhubarb from his allotment. It's the first year that Isabella is also enjoying the rhubarb. We cook it with a little water and sugar and eat it with Greek yoghurt, honey and cinnamon.
