And back in our world
hm, my blog appears to have disappeared under a welter of political links and news stories. Not quite sure how *that* happened. So what have we been doing? Well, took Small for his slightly belated MMR this morning – he was ever so good. I think he understands rather more than he lets on –…
round and about
Been working pretty hard this weekend, though not quite as successfully as I’d like, and so we don’t seem to have done much that’s terribly exciting. The good news is that Big is getting much better at entertaining herself, has begun to turn the television off, or request the radio on (! I’ve got a…
A step up
Big just brought me The Wishing Chair, and asked if we could read it together one day. So we sat down and puzzled out the first sentence together. 🙂 It’s good, this reading lark, isn’t it? I also love that Small now picks up books and turns over the pages, while muttering “dbs, stb, shg”…
A, B, C, D, E, F….
G! Thanks to Dora, Big spent yesterday memorising her alphabet. Or at least attempting to ;). I didn’t realise Dora was the inspiration to begin with – didn’t recognise the song, I’m afraid. And I don’t know it, so my help was limited to writing out the alphabet, lower and upper case, for her to…
Thursday and I've barely blogged!
That’s no good, I won’t be able to remember a thing 😉 Let’s see, Big stayed at Barbara’s after our group on Monday, and was brought back Tues afternoon. I spent Tues morning decluttering, reasonably successfully, and it must have catching, as Tim got to work on the back bedroom. 🙂 Barbara came round for…
Look what we did!
It was fun 🙂 So that was the afternoon – lots of children, adults, newspapers and tape. Worked well I thought, think ppl enjoyed it. And there was playdough for children while adults rolled up paper tubes, so everyone had a chance to get messy. Evening – went back to Barbara’s where the children had…
I seem to have been rather quiet
I’ve been having complete chaos workwise on the ‘puter, as well as still trying to study for my java exam (which I’ve wimped out on and postponed for another couple of weeks) so I haven’t felt all that much like blogging recently. I ought to make the effort to make little notes – it’s only…
It's Dora day
And boy don’t I know it! very jangly stuff, isn’t it? So Big is concentrating on her language studies today, although we did read another couple of stories in the red nose reader when we turned Dora off for lunch. Small found his pack of pants, and was determined to wear them, over his nappy…
Poetry and sneaky maths…oh, and a ramble.
today Big read another page of her book (we’re onto Goldilocks now) and I teased her into listening to some poetry. She really enjoyed it – after we’d done the first poem, with her sitting, eyes closed, to listen, she chose two more. Good stuff – she picked up on some unfamiliar words and we…
The best laid plans
of mine never work out. We did some maths (Exeter of course 😉 ), we did some reading, we did more Studydog. You’re right Merry, that’s starting to look like a blogring curriculum! 🙂 We didn’t do a whole lot else. I did hear her learning some Spanish from Dora, and Small did a lot…
