Had the health visitor round for an hour this morning – one I hadn’t met before. I only scored 12 on her depression scale, which apparently doesn’t require treatment. I did mention that that had improved radically in the past week, since our sleeping has begun to sort out. Beginning to wonder if I was actually just stressed re work (or lack thereof) and the other bits of our life, but also mega sleep deprived. Did I say just? Well, you know what I mean.
Dd has spent over an hour this afternoon playing with our cuisenaire rods – they’ve turned out to be a marvellous investment. We’ve also measured our plants again, and I’m going to start a height chart for them in a day or two when we’ve got some more measurements to plot (anyone suggest a suitable scale for sunflowers?).
Our disappointment though is that the phone has just rung and woodcraft folk isn’t on this week, as the parent who was organising is ill, and no one else can think of anything to do. If I’d had a bit more than an hour, I would probably have volunteered to do *something* but then again, I’ve only been to one meeting, so I’m not sure what the standard run is. Shame though, as we were also supposed to get the details of the weekly home ed meet tonight, so we won’t be able to go to that next week, and I was looking forward to that. Dd has taken it fairly well though.
We’ve also had our photos back from the developers – including the cds, so I’ll hopefully upload a couple later on.
Other notable activities, ds, who doesn’t seem terribly well today (streaming cold and has slept most of the afternoon – but on my knee again!) did manage to feed himself his banana at lunch time. Definite result – quicker he can feed himself the better I say! Just pondering on what to give him for tea – it had looked like he wasn’t going to want anything but he’s now wide awake and much cheerier, so I think I’d better go improvise.
Oh, and I nearly forgot – dd’s world book day token arrived! I’d called them yesterday on the offchance (hadn’t realised that they were open to preschoolers this year) and the lady said that registration had closed, but she would see what she could do. Obviously what she could do involved a token and an envelope – nice lady!
