let’s see – Small is occupying himself with a space book, started making a rocket last night. Going to have to rethink his computer usage – while it’s obvious to see that he’s learning stuff on there, his behaviour is terrible if he spends too much time attached to the screen, and he doesn’t self regulate for it at all. Once he’s forced off he becomes very productive and creative (well, most of the time. Right now he’s sulking, but that’s just one of those things). He did a fabulous drawing of the moon last night, and while doing it asked me endless questions about space and planets that I couldn’t answer, but I pointed out he had the space book handy!
Big seems a little more settled these past couple of days. She’s absolutely devouring Anne Frank’s diary
– I hadn’t realised it’s such a hefty tome. She’s written a letter to her penpal and done some maths, so we’re back on an even keel there.
soa has been indulging in a growth spurt – she fed continuously yesterday from night to day, reducing me to tears at one point through sheer lack of sleep. She seems to have tired herself out now though, so as you can guess, I’m seizing the opportunity to blog. (I have already had breakfast and one cup of tea, the next one is cooling to drinkable temperature beside me.) Later today I’m going to pop out to buy expressing supplies so that I can start building up a little stock of freezer milk – Big is really looking forward to being able to give soa a bottle every now and then, and I have a long term plan which involves expressed milk at centerparcs so that I can have a spa session 🙂
