Here, anyway.
You might find Smallest at the table with a bowl of flour and water while I’m making batter for toad in the hold. (Ticks for sensory activities, fine and gross motor skills, as well as social.)
Big is at the other end of the table, writing up our amended recipe in an order that makes sense so that she can cook for us too. (Recipe was based on one from Delia’s Frugal Food, then increased so as to have batter for my extra veg in the hole as well.) So that’s writing, maths, home economics, as well as social stuff too. Perhaps she’ll aim for a career in cooking. Or working with children. Or maybe she’ll do like I’ve done and dot and dash from career to career before carving her own way out around children.
And when the mixing is done, some washing up. Believe me, it was needed.
And where’s the boy while all this is going on? (The big boy that is. The little one is in his cot, gurgling happily.) He’s at a computer, having decided to teach himself to touch type.
I foresee a career in computing for him, maybe something to do with graphics, perhaps programming following his early excursions with Scratch. Maybe he could earn a living writing apps for Smartphones, with in app advertising from someone like madvertise UK. After all, he’s got his mother’s example to live up to, with my app being award nominated now (have I reminded you to vote for Family Quest recently? Please do! Sadly I don’t make any money from my lovely app, but it’s success does make me very happy.
As did my vegetarian toad in the hole. All in all, it was a good day.
