I Think You’re Bonkers

School is so the right choice for all of us at the moment. Dino is loving it, mostly, and today he’s trying out for the school football team. He’s raced through reading books and revels in telling me that he has to read to me and he loves that I make sure we do that when Mimi’s not about. My observations about him being mathematically intuitive are spot on and he’s flying with his numeracy. He is less confident with literacy/writing but he’s equally keen to work at it now and not be seen as the slow kid. He’s clashed with rules a couple of times but his teacher is pleased with him.

Mimi has spent so much time with paint, glue, cardboard boxes, writing stories…. I’ve rearranged the living room, done housework, loved the calm and quiet. 

Couldn’t ask for more really. 

Dino’s started school and enjoyed his first day.

Mimi spent the day occupying herself while I did diy stuff in the garden. I got to hammer in peace while she did papier mache, painting, cutting up bits of paper, put her clothes away in her wardrobe, and some other stuff. Then she demanded my presence for making jelly because it involves really hot water….

Oh and since I last blogged Copper found a new home that didn’t involve a casserole dish and we got a new hen who is most definitely female. She’s a cuckoo maran and called Cookie.
