Robin Hood

Nathalie bought the children some used Disney cassettes a few weeks ago. One of those was Robin Hood. Diane still watches a bit of that one every day.

I'm not sure whether Tim's interest in archery came from that, but he finally got his wish yesterday. He got himself a bow and arrow set from Decathlon for 20 euros.

We made a target out of an extra bit of styrofoam insulation and some leftover wallpaper. He's been playing Robin Hood.

What's difficult for him to grasp is that although it's okay to shoot arrows at the target, it's not okay to let them fly over the house, nor is it okay to shoot at birds either in the yard or in the trees. He's been able to hit the target several times in a row from a few steps away. So he decided we ought to go hunting this afternoon in the Chartreuse.
