going to get beans and then we’ll investigate!
Written much later after read SB to sleep – and yes, even more made up maggie and the ferocious beast stories. I am running out of plots!
well, we investigated [actually I commented!] and have read half the fairy stories – SB puzzled by why they are called fairy stories if no fairy in them. Said the make believe thing, but then is maggie and the ferocious beast a fairy story – well no. Must have something magical about it!
Not sure if she read the words ‘big bad pig’ or put them with that red nose reader as she has another book about a big bad pig?? anyway, we said she was v clever etc, so she wouldn’t read any more – oops! She wasn’t quite so keen on it. Must not make reading an issue! Can feel my middle class parenting desires itching to get out!
the roald dahl crocodile book a hit as well. I rather enjoyed it too.
The usbourne pocket science books really are a big hit, and we read the bees one tonight. Especially good in view of our bees nest and the dead bees in the conservatory, so may get round to printing off some of their bee pictures. Might make a nice picture collage of bees. Might hide away the baby one until I am asked though [feel some reluctance on my part to have SB asking all the 'awkward' questions in her piercing voice at chris's family ruby wedding celebration this weekend - what a coward!]. The new books have pretty much taken up all our time from this post to bedtime. I can’t remeber when SB last asked for TV either.
ooops, was obviously feeling extravagantly miserable. i do like the usborne science books, red nose readers, first fairy tales, lift the flap castle, uk jigsaws, roald dahl first books. what i believe and easy piano book [though too advanced!]however, the letter key ones i thought I had taken out of the basket
