Cuteness personified
Oh, I wish I’d had a camera! Big was asking Small how many slices of toast he wanted for lunch. Very carefully, and reasonably clearly “2 slices”. Then with much concentration, he managed to hold up two fingers just to be sure!
OK, now I'm scared.
It’s been a busy morning, with Small playing happily on cbeebies with Mr Tumble, having previously done some fabric land game he found. He came charging in with instructions that he’d printed out about paper weaving, so I got him the bits he needed and he did a tiny bit of that, before declaring he…
As anticipated
Sarah-the-speech-therapist has been and gone, and was absolutely thrilled at Small’s sudden leap into speech. I looked back on the blog (must work out why it doesn’t display all posts in an archive!) and it’s just over a month since he burst out into speech, and now he rarely stops 😀 She’s going to call…
and the home ed part of it all
Now, I know it’s Sunday. I know it’s a day of rest for many. I know that my children don’t know that, and one of the things they’ve never got around to learning is that education is supposed to happen 9 -3.30, Mon-Fri, within the walls of a school. I’m quite pleased about that actually.…
Birthday outing
Celebration part the third! This is getting to be one long celebration, and Big is loving every little bit of it. Having her oldest friend stay overnight, as he has done rather a lot of times in the past, ought to be straightforward and it did used to be. However, we didn’t used to have…
Birthday part the second

phew
doesn’t it take a long time to list stuff on Ebay? Still, 17 items listed, for 5p a piece. And like I said, many more to come…found a whole box full of early reader/ piccie book type ones that I hadn’t realised was kicked about. Will try to put a list together in case anyone…
"I don't understand…
why the library was shut an extra day.” It wasn’t me agonising over it, but Big. I was irritated, to say the least, it took us nearly two hours to get library books read, rest of them found, library cards located, right shoes with right socks (sigh), and so on and so forth, and then…
He does do cute
my little boy. New word of the day is “Daddy”. Big went to bed with a maths workbook. Sometimes I worry about that child 😉 And that was after yet another chapter of Ballet Shoes. I’m really enjoying reading that to her, it was one of my favourite books as a child, and I’ve read…
