actually as grandparents coming tomorrow, we have deferred the event for a day. SB excited by bday tomorrow, so OK
SB HE
today we did lots of rpg together, with me making up most of the stories and SB correcting them – I am storied out! Also read far too many thomas books and half her new testament.
did my least fav thing today = playdough. i hate messy fingernails. i also hate he impasse over putting it away. i explained v clearly that if it wasn’t done the playdough would dry out i would throw it in bin and not get any more. we actually did make lots of things with it, but the 2 hours to put it away drove me up the wall. we also played with straws, and she made some good number shapes with them.
Samosas and bhajis for lunch, and when i got a phone call, she got out blasted farmyard plasticine -arrrgghhh. we measured our heights and various doors and windows etc, deciding bigger and smaller along the way – this was quite good fun.
jigsaw play and then chris home. spaghetti hoops and home made scones for tea. now having a bath.
no overt 3 rs activities, but i spy, sounding out words, counting etc were all part of play.
BB
Well I feel I gave her a better deal today. SB not so impressed when I am talking and laughing with BB though – nothing overt, just attentiony. she is a smily baby. heavy though. she is lying on my arm as i type and i have pins and needles!!
RL
solicitors letter asking me if we had built on the sewers threw me. rang to say we hadn’t built anything. he said i had to identify sewer manhole – threw me in a panic. chris reminded me that it was our drains he was meaning, and the manhole on drive. so rang back wih best useless female impressionthat i had found it!
prospectus for new nursery came – looks v nice. more expensive though.
still on tenterhooks re the buyers survey.
i need some peace and quiet. feeding BB with SB bouncing all over me atm. has been a long pause in the blog. def some green eyes. Timeteam on to duscusss archeology. first question – what is that digger…….a digger……….no what type is it……………a yellow one….SB grumpy as chris and i explain we dontknow subtypes on diggers. i guess we should have done internet search……………
ps SB just asked if they have found a chocolate button – ever hopeful – it is a roman coin!
Can just about deal with playdough – esp. as we make our own so I feel very educational activity with weighing and measuring! But hate, hate, hate painting. They need to be 100% supervised, I don’t like the messiness and they rarely produce anything salvagable after they just splodge all the different colours onto one sheet of paper to produce shades of brown
Hope SB has a very happy defered birthday tomorrow
rofl at the lack in digger knowledge. And I’m with you on the playdough, that’s what nursery is for, can’t stand the stuff! That brown thing happens with playdough in our house! And plasticine, for that matter, it’s just as bad!
Hope all works out well with the surveys.
ROFLOL Helen on the playdough – I find it therapeutic but don’t like all the colours mixed up LOL Is it because you are a surgeon and know how hard it would be to scrub up before surgery LOL
We have a great book called “Tommy the Tipper Truck”. Was most useful for learning all those names, in fact we’ve had several in the same vein so am well clued up now
Mostly I am commenting just to say how grim I find the idea of lettuce and jam on toast – even DH screwed his nose up – did you come up with it or did she?!
LJT was all her own idea, she even ate as well
As if we could be so mean as to come up with lettuce and jam on toast!
