Manic Monday

Don’t know what the beans did at the start of the day, except that it did include some Singapore maths. They then went intio the city to have lunch [apparently a very nice pizza!] and try and find BB some shoes now she is walking. SB was very disappointed that her feet haven”t grown though.

When I joined them, they had so far failed to do this, as needed to go to the other clarkes across the city. So I had the pleasure of being there when BB got her first shoes – very nice. She soon got into tramping around with them, and was stunningly cute as she kept trying to make a break for it. For exceptionally good value, we Got SB a pair of princess slippers for ?2. Should have bought loads and ebayed them for ?5!

We then failed to decided what to buy with the Johns Lewis vouchers quite spectacularly – I hate shopping really. Shops should have comfy sitting down and thinking places, not feeling all hemmed in. SO vouchers are still intact.

Came home and had a very healthy chips for tea – oops. My amazon order had arrived – which ncluded the just so stories and britannia for Merry’s curriculum. We have already caught up on the britannia. SB thinks it is great doing British myths and legends – partuicularly as it kicked off with a reference to the trojan war. Also started the Just So which she rather enjoyed. SB cbeebied whilst BB tried on her shoes again and clumped around the house.

for her bed time story, SB read me most of the M and S enormous turnip book . She sounded out the long words, and I helped with some of the blends. She was great! So she got a new story cd – fairytales read by bernard cribbens.

I have belatedly watched child of our time – and not worried for once, as I think SB and BB do have a close bond. Folloed on with the first installment of Elizabeth.

Now for the first installment of sleep here! [btw, both beans went to sleep much more easily tonight]
