Back to normal

I am pleased to report that we have finally managed to get life back to normal. For the past month, we seem to have been in total disarray, due I think to Christmas messing up our routine!!

Today has felt like a success.

LA and I sorted out BAs old lego this morning. She followed this up by a couple of hours in the garden and then this afternoon we made playdough and then (obviously) played with it.
Here is the meal she prepared...playdough bacon and eggs, with chips, onion rings and peas.

Just when...

...I thought I had lost the plot by even considering Home Education, brought about by an over-active, demanding, self-motivated 3 year old - I find her standing on a ledge in the conservatory closely examining a number poster. Listening in she was matching the words to the letters and identifying the ages of everyone she could.

Maybe it won't be so bad...

Big Head

My head is now so large that we are having to get the builders to adapt the new extension!
Why, you may well ask, has it swollen to this enormous size?
Well, I have been swamped with praise, and this is so unusual to me that it has gone to my head!

I had an idea at work a few years ago, but I couldn't get anyone to understand what I meant. So I went ahead and did what was necessary and presented it to them last week. When I returned to work yesterday, I found that my little project had made it all the way up to the chief exec who emailed me telling me I was wonderful!

Hence the extended head...

Other news, is that our extension is really progressing quickly. It's hard to imagine that in 2 weeks time our house will be dramatically different. It will be great to have the extra space, and to be able to use the never used garage (soon to be room)!

LA is still not sleeping the whole night and is waking about 2am. I have no idea what to do about this, she climbs in our bed and if we object wakes the whole house by screaming. I think I need a plan...
