Redecorated to celebrate the end of June

2 months in, and it was time to redecorate the blog. You know how it is, you don't like the sofa by the window and when you move it the wall behind it is a different colour to the rest.

I'm not sure about the colours, I don't think its too bright. It looks really pale on my laptop, but very loud on Richs desktop....

This month we have put time and effort into thinking hard about HE. We have informed the playschool LA attends and been to a HE group.

We have also played very very hard:

We had Yellow pox, which we quickly recovered from.

We have been out and about, almost every day. We visited our usual places such as the library, supermarket, playschool and tumbletots as well as braving a car boot sale, a museum, a HE group, an indoor playground, the local gala, the swimming pool....

We've been gluey and sticky several times, we've baked and baked, and we've eaten so many playdough biscuits.

Tomorrow it's July, and hopefully it will stop raining soon.

Bumpi's

This morning we spent at Bumpi's; climbing, sliding and bumping.

But this afternoon, LA has developed a high temperature and a sore throat. She has very rosy cheeks and doesn't look well. We have given her paracetamol, but it seems to be having very little effect.

Sticking and Gluing

We've been sticking and gluing again (of course we have - LA is 3!!!!). As usual we ended up more sticky and gluey than the paper.
So I gave her a bowl to wash her hands in, which led predictably to LA doing her Dolly's washing.
There was a lot of washing, Dolly's can be very dirty creatures. When the washing was done it was followed (naturally) by this: We have feasted on playdough biscuits and poured orange juice on the rug, twice.

When Rich got in from work, BA, MA and I ran away to do some shopping. We had a good discussion about how everyones childhood is different, even siblings, and how parents treat different children differently and the pros and cons of that. For example BA had his Mum at home 24/7 until he was almost 3, but his Dad was away a lot working. MA had to share her Mum and Dad with BA from the start, went to a childminders part-time with BA from the age of 1 and went to Nursery full time at the age of 3. But then she remained the baby of the family until she was 12 when LA arrived.
However, we agreed that every child does have a very different experience, and none of them is necessarily wrong.
My children are all lovely people, I am a very lucky person.
