to claim the day has improved? Perhaps I’d better stick with it’s improving
After a traumatic half hour on Small’s part, when someone mentioned lunch to him, and he realised he hadn’t had breakfast (it *was* offered, but he was too busy being read to, then drawing, then dancing :roll:) and of course, [...]
It occurred to me that this blog has been somewhat devoid of home educational reporting recently. That’s because we’ve come out of the sit-down-and-do-work stage that we went into a little while ago, it appeared to serve its purpose and kickstarted the learning process again. We now have voluntary turning off of the television [...]
of the Puddles and the Portico! And although I took my laptop with me, it only came out once I think, so this is all from memory.
Weds morning we went to Shirebrook, where the activity was basket weaving. Must take a photo of Big’s basket, it’s fab. Woven from cane, she did [...]

We even found a piano in there….
There’s an awful lot of books too, but you knew that already.
Small is very quiet and sorry for himself - full of cold and possibly teething as well. [...]
I’m never going to remember it all!
First of all, the new mattress is lovely. Tim slept a full night on it - and I did alright even if Small did manage to crawl up on to it at one point and crash into me
Pondering this morning on education and the point thereof, [...]
Big, it would appear, has been paying attention at times I didn’t realise. In the shops today, she said “this says one ninety nine”. I agreed. She then proved it wasn’t a fluke by going along the shelf edge and reading several more prices. Impressive. I told her so. [...]
