Rocket tower
Eli was very proud of his space rocket that had rooms for the whole family and a (shorter) control tower to coordinate the launch.
He said this was his design and then went off to try and build it from wood. Maybe it is time to investigate how to build a rocket…..
Peddles – day 2
Adam has got the hang of this peddling thing very quickly!
Upgrade day
Grace knew what her birthday gift was going to be, and as things worked out we had to buy it a month early. She opted for the early gift option, which did help us with what to do with it in the mean time.

What it also means though, is that everyone gets an upgrade! Eli is super excited to be riding Grace’s old bike and the training wheels are on for Adam who got on and started peddling away.
Write, write
Eli is having a burst of writing and improving all the time. He has been writing his own story which involves dictating to Donné, and then copying the story on the lines below hers.
Grace has joined in and is writing her own story too.
My pet snake
Addy has a new pet!
Well, not really. We celebrated Aran’s birthday and a there was a reptile show (which was really well done, run by the Reptile Garden in Somerset West).
The children really loved interacting with the animals, and even though he has visited Grace’s class recently she was fully into it again.
Happy birthday Aran and thank you for the lovely party!
Into the garden
Grace planted some of her Little Garden sprouts
And then led her brothers in the making of a water collecting “river”
Mother’s Day comes early
We celebrated with a surprise early Mother’s day. Breakfast in bed made by Eli and Grace, gifts made at school, a coffee cup and a new cake tester. We had a peaceful day and then went for a beach picnic at Gordon’s Bay
