Secrets

A major triumph last night. We sent Claire out shopping while we wrapped her presents. We used some paintings that the kids had done, so each parcel is basicaly two sheets of paper taped together at the four edges with the present in the middle. Creative, I thought.

Anyway, the triumph is that, having been admonished only 3 or 4 times, the kids didn’t start shouting out what the presents were as soon as Claire got home. I’m not entirely sure this is a good thing, as I’m teaching them to keep secrets from their parents. So instead I’m assuming that they forgot.
