Bloodshed by 9am!

In an incident involving Scarlett, a finger and an eyeliner pencil sharpener 🙁

Not too serious I don’t think, a well placed Winnie the Pooh plaster seems to have stopped the flow and she is curiously unmoved by the sight of her own blood anyway so aside from a ‘oh, sore!’ she was more interested in the pattern the blood dripping was making on the sink!

Davies has woken up, told me a, b and c and done a pretty good letter c for his chart 🙂 At 9am when he would have been at the school gate he was taking Tarly by the hand to ‘come and tell me all about your finger Tarly’ while I got dressed. I peeped in at them and he had her sat on his bed, with his arm round her while he quizzed her about how it happened, whether it hurt, how much blood there had been and then assured her that the plaster would stop it bleeding and make it all better 🙂 They are still both in his bedroom playing with the Peter Pan island.

Before that they had been playing with the Dora house together in the lounge and there has also been a magic maize fest in the house this morning too. We started off sticking them collage style onto some pictures, then Scarlett arrived and predictably wanted me to make a Dora. So I did that while Davies made Humpty Dumpty and and aeroplane. Then followed a brief period of scattering the whole bucket of MM round the house, including some carpet staining and throwing of it in the bath!

The weather is wet and grey and miserable so our plan for the day is staying in, being nice to each other and me having a play with my new phone and other odd bits and pieces I need to get done while they have free range to do whatever.
