And over a week has flown by again!

Dd refused nursery last week, which threw all my plans out, but we did discover the reasoning. All her friends have moved up a room and she has no one to play with. I mentioned this to the staff and was told she could move up this week, so she decided that she would like to try that.

Otherwise we had a days shopping on Tues, went to a friends house on Wednesday, G* farm park on Thurs and C* house adventure playground and farmpark for another home edded friends birthday on Fri. Dd is fascinated by the plastic or wooden cows that they have at these places that you can milk, and she also spent a lot of time on the trampoline. We took some pictures of the milking demonstration, and if I ever get organised properly, we might start making project pages about these things.

At the weekend we had two other three year olds round on Saturday and an extra baby, one three year old stayed over, then we had him on Sunday too, so we went to one of these indoor play places. It wasn’t the most successful weekend, as the young man doesn’t particularly like me I feel – I am fighting to remind myself to be more positive with the smaller element, and while dd is used to me, he isn’t!

Then this week, I can’t remember Monday (which is probably not a good sign ) Tues and Wed dd did go to nursery, although she refused to stay over at her friends on Tues night which was a first and today we’ve been to the flea market.

Last night we made a dream catcher, which I will be writing up as a project (we took pictures) and tonight dd has done some reading with dp, and there was a spot the difference at the back of the book which led to some more online which she enjoyed.

Oh why can’t I remember Monday??
