It's all going a bit pear shaped.
Well, there’s been oodles of education all over the place today, plenty of touchy feely moments and even some laughter and craft. And despite that, I’ve got two kids in meltdown, presumably at least partly affected by my own mood drop (yes, I still want to crawl off and cry, even though I’ve just eaten…
In response to Merry
bribery was us! It’s Big’s birthday tomorrow. She has mentioned wanting a birthday cake. This morning I told her that we would go and buy one right after her swimming class, but that going relied on her behaving during the class. I emphasized the point that I do not mind if she can’t swim, I…
Ropey start, but we recovered well.
Small is just full of cold – I hauled myself upstairs and steamed myself gently in the shower for a bit and that seemed to help. Once done with that, rolled up my sleeves, metaphorically speaking, and cracked on. Big did lunch again, while I was showering, and after it we successfully made cinnamon scented…
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…
Quickly, cos I want to go to bed…
Big read another book this morning. They are from a beginners reader pack that I picked up for a pound in the Works ages ago. I think “Winnie played catch” yesterday, and it was “one more ball” this morning. She did some more drawing, as did Small, and she spent a lot of time in…
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…
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…
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,…
Quick post
As I’m giving up for the night. Thanks to Y and D for their hospitality – we went back to theirs after group today. Also nice to catch up with C and her daughter. Big had a lovely time playing with someone else’s dolls, and Small had a lovely time playing with someone else’s cars…
Oh, I wish I had batteries in my camera…
Small and Tim have gone to sleep on the floor, sharing a pile of cushions, so cute! Back in a mo, when I’ve taken the one I can still carry up to bed… Right. I’ve got my nappies rinsing through, I’ve had a beer (goodness knows why, I really fancied one, but now I feel…
