The hut
Grace recently had the 3rd Great Lesson in class, which is the coming of man, and in that lesson they discussed and built simple huts. She decided that there wasn’t quite enough time during their lesson to build a fancy enough, so she started gathering sticks….
Today she and Eli got stuck into building the hut, and with some required garden maintenance I was able to provide them with extra materials.
Sticks, branches and palm fronds – and there are two children “sleeping” in there
You can just see Eli’s head peaking out if you look carefully
Bubble fun
We joined Isabella for some super bubble fun and birthday celebrations today.
They had such awesome bubble making devices, from giant child size bubbles with a hoola hoop to dish cloth and plastic bottle bubble foamers.
Oh my, what a giant bubble!
The lovely ladies
Dance show
Grace has been doing dancing for the last two terms as one of her extra murals, with all of the practising building up to the dance show they had this evening.

Show time!
Coco
There are a few things that Adam likes to call for – two of them are Grace and Coco. In the mornings he comes out of this room and looks down the passage to the playroom and calls out this questioning, “Ace?” If he sees a cat, then it is just “Coco, coco,” or, if he is just looking for her, like in this video:
The Monkey and The Mouse
Grace has had her monkey for quite a while now and she is still very attached to him. Eli has become attached to his “Mouse” (who is really a lion), and that is now his sleep toy. Even Adam has his little bear lovie that he likes to hold at night.
But what happens when you leave your Monkey and Mouse lying around the house?
Bite them, shake them, squeeze them!
Donné shows this photo to Grace and says, “See what happens when you leave Monkey lying around?” Grace goes into instant meltdown, “Now Monkey has been destroyed, and Susan has swept him up and thrown him away!” At least she didn’t overreact.
The same, just not quite
Grace says to Donné today, “Janpaul and I had a discussion about our friendship today and decided that we are similar, but not congruent.”
Donné asks, “What exactly do you mean by congruent?” to which she responds, “Well, I can’t really explain it, I just have a feeling of what it means…..not the same.”
Mr Happy loves to check out the accessories
Walking!
Over the past week and a half or so Adam has taken his first steps, and has been doing a two or three step shuffle transferring between things. But, in my words, “It’s not real until it’s on YouTube,” so we finally got the video today…
Teeth brushing
Adam has now joined the ranks of the toothbrushing elite.
Water pressure
What better way to figure it out than by practical experience
