How much more education can we fit in one day????
It occurred to me that this blog has been somewhat devoid of home educational reporting recently. That’s because we’ve come out of the sit-down-and-do-work stage that we went into a little while ago, it appeared to serve its purpose and kickstarted the learning process again. We now have voluntary turning off of the television (ah…
Piccadilly circus!
Been like that here this morning. After staying up ludicrously late working last night (and *still* not getting project in hand finished, doh!) I had set the alarm knowing that Sarah was dropping Dino off for the day around 10. I also knew that the nursery nurse was coming, but somehow I’d got that in…
New lodger?
He’s been sleeping on the compost bin for a while, but tonight he appears to have decided to move in. If he keeps the grotty cats from next door out, it’s a deal 🙂 And in other news, well, I already blogged the SALT phone call. Pulled up Something Special on the desktop and let…
Coo
the cavalry round here is definitely on the ball! We had the nursery nurse round last week, and she’s coming on Friday to play games with Small. This morning we had the speech therapist, who was also very lovely, of the opinion that we are doing the right things by introducing some signing and considering…
Taking a leaf
out of Merry’s book, been targetting my efforts this morning! Gotta love those red nose readers – Big is sitting on the floor right now reading one, and Small is on the couch looking at another. They are excellent! OK, quick round up of the day so far. Despite feeling like death only slightly warmed…
to wrap up for the day
Pleasant afternoon in the main, children ran in and out a lot, Small tried to fall asleep on the sofa and we refused to let him, and I did roast dinner and actually got it all ready together and earlier than the time I’d said I would! Result 😉 Forgot to mention that Small asked…
It's a strange day
Have had the news on most of the day, something I don’t think I’ve really done before. Not sure that it was a particularly sensible thing to do, it’s left me feeling rather drawn out and detached from our reality here. And that during a hectic day too. Got up early this morning and belted…
Thank goodness for agile teenagers
And that title would go straight into moderation, wouldn’t it? 😉 Had Sarah round this morning for bit of a tutorial on google adwords – interesting stuff. Will be writing some material to feature on my own site about it all. Then this afternoon went up to the Holme Valley to catch up with Jenny…
Bringing in the cavalry
Saw the health visitor this afternoon, as planned. Had been back *just* long enough to open the doors so that we could be in the garden, but not long enough to change the smelly nappy 😳 Can’t recall at which point in the process we’ve mentioned home education to this woman, but we obviously had,…
