was somewhat hit by emotional and crap viral unwellness, feeling v sick and dizzy, stuffed up, and bleurgy. SO I didn’t go into work, and for once didn’t feel guilty [i am good at guilt] because i feel i have nothing left to give in botheredness, its already attributed. I read another lucie chat book to both girls, SB read to me about dinosaurs. they all then cycled off on a playdate and i collapsed in heap on sofa with duvet and tablets.
Much playing went on, and when they returned we had a violin practice. BB played katanimo and then then the ikea building things with screwdrivers etc- think it was bjgga or somesuch nonsense. SB made some shapes with polyhedrons – she was seeing how many she could do and we talked about their names. She found the theory made easy book one very easy, and enjoyed racing through until I said enough!
SB then has her ballet and swimming run. Very proud of her for doing all the swimming today, as she has been very worried. BB and i watched bob the builder, did bob the builder jigsaws and played mother and baby games. on SB’s return we read radius and the king of angleland all together, with BB doing actions with papo people- cute! SB then had a thought about angles.
lots of bedtime stories, but she is still frightened of aliens.
Hope you feel better soon.

I’ve not “got” any of this fear of deep water swimming thing from SB as all I can remember from Kessie was a very confident little girl jumping in, going under again and again, scaring me. Actually I had 4 didn’t I? F, M, SB and C and I was quite anxious about one of them drowning as they were all so fearless. Well done anyway SB.
Quickly gone back through posts now but can’t see any reference to aliens. Must’ve missed something along the way.
ah, well she never had any fear until just before christmas, when all the lesson is at deep end so can never touch bottom. Also she had just moved up a class and I think was feeling a bit pressured by it.
she read the DK aliens and UFO’s book for level 3 readers from book people and is scared witless.
TBH, I wonder whether she is just exploring fear at the moment, but we’ll see
hmmm, sounds familiar – I have one here who is suddenly scared of all sorts of stuff that never bothered her before. Must be one of those “phases” they do. Hope she gets trhough it quickly!
