feeling almost myself today

so trying to get on top of the missing week of housework (and blogging, of course!). We’re running out of clothes! On the upside, we’ve got lots of clean bedding 😉

Dd came to me with a notebook this morning and asked how to write ‘Mummy’ – she’d got the first M already, which impressed me. I showed her the ‘u’ but she couldn’t quite get it, so I rifled through the workbooks for one to practise with, and came up with an S&S early writing one. she did rather a lot of that, and then some of another one, so I feel like we’ve done something vaguely educational as well.

She’s still having Milly Mollie Mandy at bedtime, and that’s leading to lots of interesting questions – she wants to see a blacksmith making horse shoes for one. Could be a little difficult – while my sister has a horse, I’m fairly sure that her smith makes the shoes at his forge then cold shoes at the stable, so he wouldn’t be very interesting. Will have to put my thinking cap on.

My Hesfes ticket has arrived, and I’m debating buying a tent for MP camp this summer – been looking at these
Vango but not sure that I’m up to camping with a 13 month old as ds will be by then.

Hohum.
