Dropping hints

Posted on May 18, 2006 by Daddybean | 2 comments

Butterbean has just gone and got here shoes for me to put on her. Then she went and got mine for me, now she has gone and got Stringbean’s and taken them to her.

I think she’s dropping a hint… :-;

The New House visit

Posted on May 17, 2006 by HHaricot | 5 comments

well, I needed a lightening of my mood, and when I saw Merry’s kind invitation on a previous posting, I jumped at the chance. BB can now say shoes btw.
it is a lovely house, all there things fit – and with some room [though for how much longer, knowing the home-educators skill at filling all available space?] i had the grand tour and loved it.

The girls all played together – Josie and BB get on well, and Josie was impressive in calling BB by name. lots of role playing, girliness and barbies by the others. SB was introduced to the joys of a playstation with a Shrek game with Amelie. Chris and I kept having to play for a bit [neither of us have played before] as Amelie always uses her big sisters to help her out – and they wre swimming!]SWhe picked it up quickly, though we all got frustrated with the gingerbreadman, as he wasn’t very good throwing his cane!

Merry cooked 3 times – a muffinicity award there! And all meals eaten in entirety – BB in particular was ravenous.

SB enjoyed the wooden pattern tiles Merry has got, eventually moving to the table, as josie and BB were keen to rearrange them.

merry and I gossiped. realsised neither of us has booked for Kessingland still, and it is really soon. Also need to sort out the craft thing that i have thought no more about. Max, bless him, brought wine back from tescos, so we stayed a bit longer [well, it would have been rude not to!] Girls fell asleep in car.

Tooth’s gone.

Posted on May 16, 2006 by Daddybean | 1 comment

No tooth!

Originally uploaded by Scrumbledelicious.

Here is the essential piccie

We have the Seed Bunny, rather than the tooth fairy, since we had a book called The Seed Bunny? (abvout the rabbit equivalent of the tooth fairy) – which is rather nice, since she was excited to get a pack of seeds. And of course it’s just about in tiem for us to sow them
She did wonder today what happens to the teeth it colects, again she email was the asnwer, as we could email him to ask what he does with them.

Of course the tooth did come out in the middle of a car journey – ‘I’m bleeding’. Did we have any tissues etc. in the car….?

Another little milestone passed.

a few SB-isms

Posted on May 15, 2006 by HHaricot | 4 comments

we were watching the planets DVD and the asteroid crater in Arizona -

“is that where all the dinosaurs were standing when they became extinct? Had they all gone there to eat something nice, or asleep?” Hmm, perhaps not quite got that image right then!

or about her tooth that fell out today

“ how will the seed bunny know it is out? [i am wondering what to say at this point] i imagine he got an email [!!!!]”

Poor lass though, BB gave her a shocking bite. BB also deliberately bit me for her evening feed – right Chris, here she is for a bottle!

I also had to soothe hurt feelings, as at the end of home-ed group, one of her friends Mum’s invited the other little girl and her mum to their house for a play. SB asked if she could come to, and was told no. Fair enough obviously as this was an adult invite with children as it were, but SB thought she wasn’t wanted, especially as she has been before.

We had a lovely weekend though, and did lots of playing in the garden and with her dolls house and her paper dress me dolls. SB and BB playing nicely together – some squabbling over the fun blox!, we all having fun. Read lots of books – the DK encyclopaedia, and childrens history book about middle ages, some singapore maths [oops, we left the book in the rain, but it has recovered!] And more playing with the electric circuit. Also she has progressed onto the cbbc website – though some of the games there are, well!!! We looked at flowers outside, played botanist explorers [amongst others] [she was very bossy, and me 'n BB poddled along behind!] picking a few, and then she has made a picture with them that we are pressing. We have also started off a second hand triops kit. It had run out of nutrients, and we are using pond water – lets see if that works. Some cbeebies watched, and also DVD of life of mammals – SB really into these DVD’s at the moment. She was also particularly proud to swing like Violet [some hero worship going on there]- hanging by her knees from the trapeze bar thing. Thankyou Violet! Some hama beading, and I think we have had a very full Home-ed autonomous weekend!
