evening all
how y'all diddling?
foxie, poor dd. starting school is so tiring for them, isn't it? and she hasn't got asny energy if she's not eating properly. get some smoothies down her.
ros - really wouldn't worry about ds' speech yet. comprehension is the key. mine have all started at differnt times. ds1 was born talking, i think, ds2 hardly seemed to say a wortd until he was about 3 - couldn't get a word in edgeways, i suppose! - and dd - nearly 2-and-a-half has just recently started linking sentences together and really coming along.
just talk to him constantly (sure you already do) with a running commentary on everything, however daft you feel sometimes, leaving gaps for him to "talk" back.
paddle - sure you'll make it to the ball, m'dear
you'll relate to this (that's an order) - had to meet a deadline with dd at home. i let her trash the room to keep her occupied. then, in desperation, she squeezed into the chair behind me and i let her brush my hair for 20 minutes.
now my hair ain't the sort you brush - just a good poke with a pitchfork now and then suffices.
her finale was taking her clothes off and doing a wee on my desk. (no, it didn't trickle into the keybortad, thank the lord)
yep, got my work done, but crap mum award or what..
ach well, just one morning out of the girleen's life, eh?
hope everyone feels better soon (you sickly shower, you..)
