I can’t believe that another week has gone by! These blog things are a bit scary like that, but then again, we are just so busy at the moment.

Let’s see – dd went to nursery tues/ wed last week. I can’t remember thursday, but Friday we were at JFK, then went up to Sunderland to meet up with a uni friend on Saturday who now lives in the states and was back for the weekend to see his family. Spent the day with him and his family then Sunday we did a walk in the park with friends and today we’ve done card making, postcard writing, running round the garden screaming ( :-)) and so on.

Someone seems to have flicked a switch in dd at the moment – her writing is coming along in leaps and bounds, she’s started sounding out words and reading signs and her conversations are somewhat scary. Tonight while she was bathing we covered why women aren’t daddies, why it gets dark sometimes, discussed her upcoming first cinema trip and we were only up there 20 minutes! I don’t know whether this has anything to do with the nursery move, or my change of state of mind, but I don’t know how long I’m going to be able to keep up with her!

We’ve also taken delivery of One to One the home ed book and I’m looking into buying a FIAR volume simply because I think it will be a useful resource.

Having just mentioned to dp that I can’t remember thursday and he is helpfully saying that I was abducted by aliens. Some ppl!
