being the 2 main things that characterised our day today.
The vomit was BB‘s, she has vomited through the night and on and off through the day, so I have been doing a lot of bf – no change there then! She feels a bit hot, and has a cold, but no obvious dredful anything, and apart from when vomiting, she has only really seemed a bit tired, rather than particularly out of sorts.
Before I flickr it, try and imagine what you think our Xmas tree would be real/artificial ;tasfeful colour scheme/whatever; less is more/deck the boughs. Anyway, Chris had to curse and swear with getting it i the right places, as no good helping with a broken hand. Only one set of lights working, so severly underlighted [I do like lighting to have somthing of an operating theatre intensity about it!], but will sort out something. Last year I divided the decs into breakable, and fairly sturdy, and so gave SB the fairly sturdy to do the lower bits with. WHY NOT ONE OF THESE SHE SAYS, OOPS! I guess there was the reason. The other main showstopper was realising BB was quietly munching on one. hmmm. After excavating most of the shards from her mouth [expect interesting nappies] I realised she has 9 teeth in full biting order. SB chose Christmas chants as the accompanying music – she has excellent taste, before we moved on to more traditional carols. SO all decced up there. Some decs put on staircase, and nearer the day, may prune non berrying holly and strip some ivy. Frugal princess or what!
what else? SB and BB went to library with Chris, and did a sticking Christmas activity and chose about 600 books [minor exaggeration]. We then read 4 on the trot until I insisted she read 1, she did 2 pages anyway with sounding and working out. Beans on cheesy toast. We considered the protein, carbohydrates, fats, vits and minerals to discuss further the book we had read yesterday.
After lunch we did 4 whizzing pages of Singapore maths primary 1A. Very easy pages and romped through them. SB definitely sure of odds and evens. Doing much more mental maths as well without using fingers. i have decided i prefer the primary maths to my pals are here, though both very similar. When we get to 2, I think I will stick to the primary maths series.
Rest of day taken over with Christmas tree business!! i did print the family Christmas cards, with a front and back picture showing my 2 meeting Father christmas.

I think a real tree decorated in a chaotic, obviously child-led fashion
Before Titch (and I suppose Pip, but I can’t really remember) could sniff or blow her nose she used to vomit quite often if she was very snotty. Snotty-tum we used to call it….and the vomit always had a slimyness to it.
Poor BB. Hope she’s better soon!
Oh, and forgot to vote on the tree thing. Definitely a real one, loaded with as many decs as possible!
I have no idea why the first of your comments was moderated and the second not Joanna. I think this new improved spam trapping is a wee bit overefficient at times. As long as its also trapping the sneakily placed on earlier blogposts spam too…..
I hope you are getting better. Both you and Joyce are severely in need of the magic faraway tree cure-all.
I was right! It looks beautiful
you were right! and thankyou – it certainly is full of decs – just the way i like it!
I’ve heard of kids “cutting their teeth” but never realised it was done on glass baubles….. must feed her more often Helen!
