Gentle Day – Quick Blog

We have had a gentle day today as both of us at home. Another execrable nights sleep though! I think chris was going to blog about the mice – so I’ll leave that to him! Also the singing thing that he took both girls to while I sorted out various paperwork things and fiddled with photos.

Homedad and G came back to our house, and he looked suitabley ‘windtunnelled’ after listening to SB and reading her 3 books.

We did some more reading, and I used the letter dice from Boggle to write 3 letter words for her to guess – which went quite well. She wrote words for me, mostly in ‘alien’! We did some adding and subtracting with bricks, playing Bob the builder, and looking at her dressing up clothes.

In the afternoon, she had found a bag of wool, crochet hok and one of those cotton reels with pins in for tatting. Once I’d taken the 3 meters off it that i had done as a child, we had a go, but the crochet hook was too big really to be easy – even diff for me so we stopped. We also had a go at macrame with the wool, but she found the knots too fiddley, so we’ve put it aside for when she is older. in between showers we have pottered about outside. Otherwise we have been dancing, singing and make believing. We did however do the craft robot that she has been wanting to make, so that’s good. We’ve all in all had a very happy day, with no real fusses.

BB has been very noisy! [mostly shouting duhduhduh] she is getting good at pushing herself around on her tummy, and investigating things, Also eating more and more. hopefully this will lead to a reduction in night feeds?? At the moment, i think she is attempting to bf from a dolly’s head – so one track!

This eve a work colleague came roud, and we spent 5 hours sorting out how to best get the forms and appraisals to get a consultant ticket. Lets hope that it works. Oh, and I really miss not having a working shower!
