A day with a certain “Stile”…
She launched straight into the next Stile book this morning - “early reader book 1″ - advised me that it was “too hard mummy” and promptly waltzed through all the initial sound pages flawlessly.
Then she demanded “the book with the clown on it” (that would be Singapore EB 2a then) and did 10 pages from that. yes, 10. So I can now quite happily say she “gets” bigger/smaller/taller/shorter and as an aside can tell the story of the 3 bears….
Stories went quite well, she really loves In Grandma’s Attic so that’s on to find sequels or similars for. She’s also really enjoying the “history” book which is currently giving us a whirlwind tour of clothing through the ages.
This afternoon was crafts and she abandoned me in favour of one of the ladies within minutes and happily made cards with her all afternoon. This woman deserves a medal, she’s just so patient with her!!!
The hour seems to have changed fairly successfully here thankfully and she’s gone to bed pretty much at her normal time. Mind you, I never managed to part her from her PJs today so it was a fairly quick process getting her to bed!
Katy, i have borrowed Jan’s Attic book as a precursor to the one i had bought which is it’s sequal. I’m not going to use it, it’s too prissy for me, so would you like it?

Urgh - sequel.
Obviously i am offering my More Grandma’s Attic, rather than Jans!
