Bother
The batteries are flat in the camera again. Or too flat for me to pull the piccies off, which means I can’t show you all what arrived in the post today. You’ll just have to wait 😉 Anyway, pretty good day today. Made it to the group at Chesterfield, which was pretty much OK, although…
Doesn't the world look different
from the other side of 7 hours sleep? Horrendous evening trying to get Small to bed last night, resulted in me in tears downstairs after 45 minutes of trying to settle him, while Tim did finally succeed. Really couldn’t face another night of the wriggling, writhing, hair pulling and scratching, so went and slept on…
I think we're on a roll
And this is the post I was trying to write last night to prove it. Hope I can remember everything that we did yesterday! I know that Big did this: really impressed at how well she concentrated on it – especially as she didn’t start it til bath time! She thought hard about the colours…
What an excellent day
Employing the head in sand approach to the financial situation again here, but hey, it’s working for me 😉 Bad night with Small – he went down at about 7.45 last night, but was restless all evening, Tim settled him down then came down for a coffee and I was working on the computer. We…
Started off quiet
as Big slept in til 8.30 and the rest of us til just after 9. Wow. Small had woken me a little earlier (by trying to sleep in the same location as my rib cage) but it wasn’t too bad as these things go. They did some drawing, and playing, and ate huge amounts of…
Beginning to wonder
if we might have cracked it. There appears to be child led learning going on all over the place. It’s a bit more contrived than I expected, but I think that could just be me getting into the swing of it. Today we have done more MMM stuff, including planting (do you call it planting…
My big little girl
Today was so different to yesterday as to make me wonder if someone has done a kind of reverse changeling operation on my daughter overnight. It didn’t start well – I had a bad night with Small. He’s got this thing going that if he manages to wake up before I come to bed, and…
From the sublime to the ridiculous
Well, we’ve done more Milly Molly Mandy school today, covering a bit of history although I’m not sure what else you’d say it covered. Some of that entrepeneurial stuff Joyce was talking about I think (it’s the chapter where MMM finds a penny for those in the know). Big is desperate to learn to knit…
Finally got Small to bed…
but boy did it take some doing. I think my next project for the year is going to have to be sorting out his sleeping patterns – I’ve just spent two nights away from home, and I didn’t get any evening time without children to talk with adults. Hohum. Apart from that, the weekend was…
If I don't write some of this down
I’m never going to remember it all! First of all, the new mattress is lovely. Tim slept a full night on it – and I did alright even if Small did manage to crawl up on to it at one point and crash into me 😉 Pondering this morning on education and the point thereof,…
