Aargh….
Well, today I have learnt that the work rate of a four year old is nowhere *near* that of a 34 year old. In the time it took me to make 10 hama stars, Big assembled the rest of one card….mind I have got it down to a star a minute (which I know is…
My adorable offspring
Both of them. 🙂 Missed Big this morning – had to get Small’s breakfast all by myself! Seriously though, did make me realise that somewhere along the way it changed from being slow waiting for her to do whatever it was she wanted to do to help, to suddenly being really useful having her doing…
Never let it be said
that I don’t learn from my mistakes. Today I have tried really hard. I have wet washing on the line (sigh) and wet washing in the machine (bigger sigh), the kitchen is trashed again, but was clean and clear before I started preparing our home cooked tea, and I shifted another bit of paperwork before…
Old friends and physics
A great day today. I had lots of plans to do arty/ crafty/ sciency things with Big today, and instead, I finally remembered to check the phone for the message I’d noticed last night, and it turned out to be from the mother of her first nursery friend. Apparently he’s been wanting to see her…
We had our quiet day
after I got another decent night on the pullout bed. Apart from the backache 😉 Mainly today we’ve pottered. Finally got around to doing some more work on Big’s scales – I’m taking piccies as we go along. We played the piano a bit – by a stroke of luck I opened the children’s song…
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…
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,…
Much better all round.
Small and I had a lie-in, much needed after another bad night. I’m sure it’s his teeth, but he will not take anything for it, and indeed acts as if I’m trying to poison him throughout. Despite this we had a pretty good day all round. Big and Small played together quite well, and we…
the day didn't really improve
although I did read books to Small when he thumped me with them, Big played some involved game with duplo ppl, and they both watched two hours of programs on Animals (Animals Did it First, and In the wild with – although I couldn’t tell you who it was with. Was about pandas anyway). I’ve…
"the pink is just glorious"
Sometimes my daughter makes me laugh out loud. The above statement was exclaimed as we came over a hill top on the way home, to be faced with a pretty good sunset, and of course, it was her favourite colour 😉 I had my choice of titles today, could have gone with Woohoo, he slept…
