Monday
- Playdough, Marbletick (H)
- Watching Bananas DVD, then K wanted to find Trapdoor videos on YouTube (used wordbank to find the spelling)
- Building a cubby under K’s bunk; playing house
- Feltboards
- Playing in the garden intermittently (it’s raining/snowing and freezing cold)
- Drawing (K); playing with the Russian doll (H)
- Duplo; had an argument over who was playing with what bit, then K worked out a solution (one that I insisted not involve punching him any more)
- playing hide and seek together
- I read some books
- they came in and talked to me while I cut out cute labels for my antique filing cabinet and wrestled with god knows how many years of dust which had accumulated in the label holders
- crafty stuffs (making snowflakes, drawing with stencils)
- K searched YouTube for her favourite songs/nursery rhymes, I could hear them chortling away and singing along while I spent an hour on the phone to B then my mum
- after dinner, K and Mr Bat played the same room-cleaning game they started yesterday, where Mr Bat would point to a pile of mess and lament loudly about how he would have to clean it up when he got back from putting away this maguffin, then act terribly surprised when K-shaped pixies had spirited the pile away by the time he got back. Much chortling.
- Another 30+ pages of These Happy Golden Years. K is grasping the concept of “foreshadowing” and laughing at those bits where Laura says Oh no, I’ll never get married, or Me, write a book?
