He does do cute
my little boy. New word of the day is “Daddy”. Big went to bed with a maths workbook. Sometimes I worry about that child 😉 And that was after yet another chapter of Ballet Shoes. I’m really enjoying reading that to her, it was one of my favourite books as a child, and I’ve read…
mostly harmless
Describes the day fairly well, although it wasn’t what I was thinking as I entered the title box. Yesterday afternoon I made a superhuman effort to detach myself from computer chair and got down on the floor and we did mosaics. This seemed to go down well. The bedtime routine went well as well –…
Apparently
“statistically, marriage makes you live longer. So no escape there then.” I have no idea what we’re watching, I’m not concentrating on it, I’m writing php. But that tickled me.
Piccadilly circus!
Been like that here this morning. After staying up ludicrously late working last night (and *still* not getting project in hand finished, doh!) I had set the alarm knowing that Sarah was dropping Dino off for the day around 10. I also knew that the nursery nurse was coming, but somehow I’d got that in…
New lodger?
He’s been sleeping on the compost bin for a while, but tonight he appears to have decided to move in. If he keeps the grotty cats from next door out, it’s a deal 🙂 And in other news, well, I already blogged the SALT phone call. Pulled up Something Special on the desktop and let…
Coo
the cavalry round here is definitely on the ball! We had the nursery nurse round last week, and she’s coming on Friday to play games with Small. This morning we had the speech therapist, who was also very lovely, of the opinion that we are doing the right things by introducing some signing and considering…
to wrap up for the day
Pleasant afternoon in the main, children ran in and out a lot, Small tried to fall asleep on the sofa and we refused to let him, and I did roast dinner and actually got it all ready together and earlier than the time I’d said I would! Result 😉 Forgot to mention that Small asked…
I am a good mummy
So good, that Big cried with joy when she found the missing computer game at her place at the table this morning 🙂 Or so she tells us – I was still in bed! Small is also still in bed. I’m assuming that this is because he was hot and uncomfortable and didn’t get to…
Ooh, my brain hurts…
time to take a break from the studying, and catch up with the blogging, maybe do some (paying) work… So, today. Yet another horrendous night with Small. Despite the blackout blind, he was up with the birds 🙁 throwing himself round the bed, under the covers, out….you get the picture. Not quite sure at what…
A step up
Big just brought me The Wishing Chair, and asked if we could read it together one day. So we sat down and puzzled out the first sentence together. 🙂 It’s good, this reading lark, isn’t it? I also love that Small now picks up books and turns over the pages, while muttering “dbs, stb, shg”…
