Reaping Benefits

Not a lot to report in a way cos i have been poorly and we haven’t “done” much – but that doesn’t mean not a lot has been done – if you follow me! Moo has done 4 days at nursery this week and will probably continue on like that now – means we can all go to an HE group on a friday together. She seems happy – tired but happy – they have a new sensory garden there and she apparently loves it – is just outside all the time – weird really cos she doesn’t like our garden much, althoguh lately she and Pud have been doing Peter Pan out there a fair bit. Its a very sheltered garden and i think it was just TOO hot in the summer – they seem to prefer cool somehow. Its so funny, Moo is a natural second sibling – if its Peter pan she is Pan to Puds Wendy, she prefers being Stitch to Lilo, Boots to Dora, Max to Ruby (lots of acting out here you notice!) – i think she has a quirky sidekick fetish! Somehow i suspect Scruff will be fighting Pud for the leading lady role – she is such a monkey!

So – there has been lots of that going on and Pud has been loving her books and her dolls and goodness knows what else – she has been writing lots and listening to stories, building lego, drawing (a beautiful rose today, auntie kate showed her how and she really tried to do as she was shown). She is very excited about being a flower girl at the end of the month and also she has been given the chance to do a tiny 30 second programme in the big girls skating gala at christmas – to the tune of willo the wisp! AW! I shall cry….

Moo brings a library book home once a week now and Pud was a bit upset about not having one too – so we have instigated a system – she has a bag and once a week she is choosing a book from my Usborne/Barefoot kit to keep and look at – she seems happy with that.

I think we will go out tomorrow and have a good play somewhere for a change – it is time!
