sunday i got up v late having found it v difficult to settle to sleep the night before. when i did, we had a lovely family day of hugs, closeness, doing things together or next to each other – a real soul soother! BB was making her wallace and gromit kit kart, and doing a pretty good stab at it all on her own with pics only. the wheels are difficult to get on the axle, so i helped her there, and being tired, she wasn’t managing frustration well 
after that she wanted to do something crafty, so we thought we would make the 2 different plaster of paris plaques for historyetc. which both girls did [sb having been reading - something that currently we have to watch out for so that we stop her doing it all the time!! what a complete bookworm] . BB was then too tired to think, so watched a dvd, and sb and i went out into the garden and sowed seeds together. all the peppers came up – yay! She also did some galore park english as she is determined to move on with that. bb then had a go at painting her plaque, but she isn’t very good if it isn’t perfect, and it had some small fiddly bits and she threw a strop over it, so we snuggled and read a book instead . she then had the resilience to do a lot more of it SB also did some of hers as well. SO on the whole a lovely snuggly day
today sb has apparently done a lot of sloping off to read – lol! but otherwise both girls had some fun with circuits, and BB followed the instructions to make a radio, she has been very proud of that she also finished her plaque [fantastic] and did some maths. SB has done a science workbook bit, recorder practice, fact book and galore park english. When i got home from work she had a piano lesson [BB declined] , and we did story of the world altogether – alexander the great.
