Little things that have
happened today...
- I was chopping up vegetables ready for making a tomato sauce and
the children were helping. James was washing up :-) and Hannah was with me
in the vegetable section! She asked to taste the vegetables, which I said
was fine. Raw broccoli was a "no" but both Hannah and
James loved the celery - in fact Hannah loved it! I am not sure if it was
just because she was there and was hungry but I will have to try this with
her with hummus - I had not idea she liked raw celery!
- While this was happening Hannah needed a wee so we disappeared and
when we came back James had stuck the broccoli on its end so it looked
like a tree and out two carrot sticks either side. I asked him what it was
and he said a broccoli canceller (cancel, cancelled etc is his
new word). He told me it was a broccoli that could cancel
anything and take it away!
- We then made scrambled egg and Hannah wanted to whisk the egg
(James had a go to) - as she was saying this she said, "Just like
gloop, gloop, gloop - that's what Katie says (thank you I can cook!)
- James on the way started talking about injections - I think he is
very anxious about them. As he was chatting it reminded me of a cute way
he says hospital which I just wanted to remember for the days when he no
longer says it this way. The way - "hobidal" :-)
- Hannah was looking at her alphabet mat today and when she say an H
she spontaneously used her finger and said down and down and
across - as if drawing a capital H in the air!
- We went to Fell Foot Park and the children saw a log - Hannah said
- "has the frog fallen of?" and James said, "What on earth
could make holes like that in wood?" I explained that it was insects
and he said "Can they do that to us?" I said, "No, you are
not a log of wood". He seemed reassured!
- When we got back James was really sad that we had not picked the
hyacinth to put in a vase because it had now died. He then looked at the
daffodils and grabbed - only the head came off. Amazingly I did not cross
and used it as a teaching moment. I asked him how long a vase is and he
showed me and saw that his would be too short. I showed
him exactly where to pull and he then did it. Hannah then
grabbed one! Her's one was no a middle size compared to the one James had
grabbed and the long one he had carefully pulled out. So I out them all
down and asked Hannah to show me the smallest (she showed me the middle)
and which was the longest (she was able). The daffodils are now in one
tiny vase type thing!
