3 steps forward and 4 back.

June 21, 2005 by

Managed to wake up less than 2 minutes before Maddy’s taxi arrived today but still get her into it, fully dressed and breakfasted 😀 Sometimes i’m just too good 😀

Today has been a bit “thingy” somehow – managed to reduce Fran to tears over a map – she’s been asking me for weeks to show her how to “draw sea” after a chance remark i made about it. So today i got her to do another Australia poster (with Aboriginal Art on it) and showed her how to colour tiny lines around the edge of the land to show sea. Only to discover her silently sobbing a fewm inutes later because she wanted to colour it all blue, not leave any white. (Ummm.. and why is this a problem? I asked. Did she think i was going to remove limbs if she disobeyed me????) Sigh.. so that went well. We also abandoned normals when it all started to go a bit mental and settled for general garden play instead.

Spent the afternoon recouping the morning and went for a swing, then collected Maddy, had a strange conversation about schools, did the dancing run and came home feeling ill.

Ants are still very impressive (hmm… photo hasn’t worked, i’ll do another tomorrow…)

Got some clay out for them in the evening. Maddy made Stonehenge (surprise)

Oh – and here are Ammi’s teepee’s from Friday.
