Up and at it

the children have been up about 20 minutes, they’ve already done one jigsaw, and Small is launching into another one, while Big gets her breakfast. I’ve been up since just before 7, as I’d offered to iron Tim’s shirt 😉 although I did crawl back into bed for a warm up for ten minutes 😆

Then I got up again, came down and cleaned the sink! Aargh, I’m not sure I like this 😀

Small has already added to more words to his vocabulary this morning – ‘red’ and ‘my’. So he’s eating his breakfast from his blue bowl with red spots on and he’s very happy about it. Right, back to work – I’m just having a breakfast break atm 🙂

eta 8.41 add ‘raining’ and ‘hero’. Enunciation isn’t terribly clear yet, and I think that’s what has been holding him back, he doesn’t like to not quite get things right! However he seems very much more willing to just have a go, which is fantastic.

  1. Hurrah for it all coming right 🙂

  2. way to go Small!!!! It’s so lovely to see he’s finally getting the hang of it all 🙂

  3. We told you that you’d never shut him up once he started. 😀 That’s fab news.

  4. Well, all I can say to you is ’empty, water, that, hero, marmite’ ‘cos I can’t remember any of the others!

  5. That sounds like the beginning of a creative writing exam paper – “use the following in either a piece of prose, three haikus or two rhyming couplets”
