It was so exhausting. The heat will be making you more tired too. I also love/hate reading aloud - it does get better as they get older and can take turns and they do get so much real learning from it.

Tim has been trying to send me on a weekend away since roughly the time Small was born. I just haven't got around to booking it, partly because it feels like too much effort, partly because I have next to no holiday and don't want to use it up on that, partly because I just haven't done it. And it wouldn't be relaxing if I can't clear the decks before I go. Which is partly what I'm trying to do by having these monday afternoons to work - we've spent quality time together, I'm going to take them to the library in an hour....but why can't they let me do paperwork for more than five minutes without interrupting????? right now I’d settle for someone removing this two offspring for a couple of hours so I could do some paperwork!

This dawned on me when Ds was about 4 and hadn't realised that milk in bottles wasn't human milk. I did panic at that point, thinking that this was likely to be an HE prob, but I've actually caught several of Ds's school pals doing similar recently, (one of them thought that pleasure meant thank you, for example) so now suspect that this stuff happens everywhere.
