Some find it in the face of their children

Some good stuff from today:
Davies – he spent ages on the pc doing mazes and stuff and was really very good at it. He made a number 4 out of sticklebricks, he helped tidy up, he ate all his dinner, he told me he was proud of himself today, he totally got the idea of the wooden numbers with pegs on which arrived in the post from a fellow MP (die cut wooden numbers 0-9 in different colours with space for the correct amount of same colour pegs to go in them), he seems to be getting better all the time at recognising letters and realising that letters represent sounds which can be strung together to make words – we’re getting there 🙂 He has started to wipe his own bottom 🙂

Scarlett – she is on a being helpful kick at the moment – wants to put dishes in the sink, wrappers in the bin, the dirty clothes by the washing machine etc. Yesterday she did two wees on her potty, her speech is improving daily and she is starting to put pretty good sentences together and recognise more detailed things like shapes and colours.

WordPress – well I’ve got it, I’ve also got probably the most sensible email address I’ve ever had – it will now fit on forms and everything as a result of a new domain name for the blog to sit on, I am now planning to do more with the website too and start to really build up a decent HE site for myself to refer back to.

Miranda – my old boss has been in contact all buoyed up about the prospect of some work for me – she is putting together a website with bedtime stories based on the characters used in the ride we had in Manchester – she likes my style of writing and I have already put together several stories for her before, I would also probably be the one doing the website admin (which despite how rubbish I am and how reliant on Jax was something I did before in a paint by numbers sort of way!)

I got my welcome email for the Learning and Skills Council course I am about to start so as soon as I can forget about getting wordpress how I want it I can gte stuck into that (I’m doing a course on being a web entrepreneur!).

There was bad stuff today in the way of me shouting lots cos I wanted to get on and do stuff, the kids getting in the way of it and being total horrors when I was on the phone to Miranda – but hey, at least I don’t have to fight Blogger anymore to bring you that newsflash!
