Today we had to walk into town to go back to the opticians and pick up my contact lenses and Logan's new glasses. On the way back we took a walk along the river. The children wanted to stop and take a look at the patterns that were being created on the water. They stood … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 14
So I know it's been obvious I have been trying to get on top of things both at home and on the blog, and I kind of feel like I have been achieving that. But I thought a little overview of what is going on would be great. Well, after months of having way too … Continue reading A little update
Today, I was mostly stuck form filling (another 8 questionnaires arrived that needed to be filled in ahead of a therapy retreat we are going to). So another load of hours stuck indoors. We talked about spiders, and how although they are kinda creepy and I don't really like them, I appreciate that they catch … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 13
Late posting for yesterday: it was a tough day which involved hours and hours of form filling (that's what happens with children who need lots of intervention, every assessment requires form after form after form). But we took sanctuary in hearing the birds all having fun, even if we couldn't!!!
As promised, I am writing a post about our custom bed, a product of my brain, borne of necessity. The attic room, our bedroom, is accessed by a staircase that's only 70cm wide and has a right angle bend in. Given the layout of the room: eaves, radiator, slanted wall due to staircase, alcoves and … Continue reading Building “the beast”
Due to Caitlin's aches and pains today, we have just been at home. We did manage to finish the painting of the playhouse porch (we laid a new floor on it). And managed to sort the toys to go in the playhouse. So the kids now have a play area outside, that is fully operational! … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 11
We get very excited about babies. Very. And news came to us, just before we were moving house, that a new baby was coming. Well, the news came the day we exchanged contracts in fact. So it was a memorable day for sure. Anyhow, we like to make stuff, so the kids set to work … Continue reading A new baby – not ours
I bet you can't guess what we did today... oh yes... that's right. Another day in the garden. But today, patience and tolerance of being exposed to the "what's going to be... once the work is done" was too much for the children. It was awful. I mean, with attachment issues, change is never easy, … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 10
A bit late in posting this, but yes... you guessed it... another day in the garden for us. Seems to be our life at the moment. But we were spotting bugs as we went - this one was a favourite, as the children absolutely loved the colours. We did try and identify and it appears … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 9
Well it's been a long day... I didn't manage to get a photo of the 30 Days Wild activities in action... yes like most days at the moment we have been working in the garden. Desperately clearing the ground to try and ready it for the children's play area section. I'm ignoring the end 10 foot … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 8
