Tag: Small steps
Drat, this is Saturday's post…
I seem to be permanently a day behind! Let’s see, we’ve had a really lazy day. Feeling a bit rough myself, and sky’s really grey, so pjs were the order of the day, and taking it easy. Lots of imaginative play meant that the floor went missing very early on, and didn’t reappear til I…
The good, the bad and the downright ugly.
Good: Primary geography sparking off map activity this morning, lots of jigsaw activity for both of them, including the 20 Word Puzzles that we’ve had for ages (that’ll be a reading activity then), cooking tea together. Getting an hour on my own with Small in the library (aw, he took his book to the counter…
Reminding myself – well and truly edited now!
to blog about these things tomorrow. Small and birds, cats, dogs and ppl. Small likes animals. He quite likes ppl, but he is squealingly happy to see animals. We walked to the post office on Weds (posted the Hesfes form, yippee!) and every few steps he would stop, smiling, to point at a cat, or…
A small camel kind of day.
With thanks to Jan 😉 But Small has got a new phrase. He said it quite a few times before it clicked what he was saying… “My turn!” Still quite bemused that he is learning phrases rather than individual words 😉
Internet romance?
It’s not an inner circle joke as such, although I suppose ppl who know us better will know that Tim and I originally met on an email list, got to know each other by IM and phone, before meeting on my doorstep at dawn, nearly 7 years ago now. Awww….. two children later ;), we’re…
Too cute
20 past 12, and Small toddles into the living room dragging the box of fake shreddies behind him. Other children have comfort blankies, he has a box of shreddies 😉 Are you hungry? I ask. Nodding. Lots of nodding. Well, put the shreddies away and I’ll make you a sandwich. I go into the kitchen…
Shh….
don’t disturb him! He’s only sitting quietly doing a jigsaw all by himself for the very first time (one of those peg board ones, think I got it for £1 at Hesfes last year!) Of course, the flash of the camera disturbed him, and there seem to be some pieces missing, so I don’t think…
Scenes of domestic bliss.
After yesterday’s less than educational offerings, determined to do better today. So imagine my joy at all of this being self determined! I think the pictures speak for themselves 😉
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…
Blog or washing/ washing up?
What do you think?! But fairly quickly, as I do want to get some chores done tonight so that they aren’t waiting for me in the morning. So it’ll be a bit stream of consciousness I’m afraid, as there’s a few things batting around my head I want to get out. First of all, there’s…
