My kids are amazing
We’re vegging today. Telly is on, kids are entertaining themselves and I’m doing my own thing too.
So Mimi chose some colouring and did several pages - she’s really neat now and she’s reading more and more! Dino grabbed a maths book and did a page, then sat curled up with a Horrible Science book.
After that they decided their volcano from ages ago needed work so they spent a couple of hours working together on that. Yes, a couple of HOURS, working together with no stropping, no arguments and no stress.
Then it was lunch time - our own fresh eggs, boiled with toast. Yummm.
After lunch they did a bit more on the volcano - deciding that if they don’t set off an eruption they’ll have the thing to play with for ages - they’ve added caves, a river and done loads of work on it with more planned for tomorrow.
When they ran out of paste and paper (it’s a papier mache volcano with a half juice bottle crater) they wanted the telly back on and we found Walking with Dinosaurs. Dino is suiting his blog name - he catches a glimpse of a dinosaur and he knows what it is before they say which it is. He’s been spot on every time so far, bar one but I bet he doesn’t get it wrong again.
Today is what home ed should be like. Today is what I want life here to be like. I think I’m going to go and find them a nice rewarding snack.
Oh, and I seem to have two books on Amazon now….
