Quiet weekend
Not done a huge amount this weekend. It's been rather quiet actually.
On Friday morning, F decided to headbutt the corner of a doorway and developed the most enormous egg on her forehead - we ended up ringing NHS Direct. I've never seen a lump come up the way that one did. It reminded me of a Tom and Jerry cartoon - thump on head and huge lump just grows before your eyes. It was kind of scary too, as it was just above her right eyebrow and bigger than half a golfball. The Direct helpline were really good - they rang back within 10 minutes of us ringing, and the doc on the other end was lovely. Very reassuring, but not patronising. And then, they rang back after 15 minutes to double check we'd understood everything and that there had been no change in her condition! No complaints for the beleaguered NHS from me that day. :)
Aside from that, it's been a quiet weekend. Read some jolly phonics with D & T - D being all self important and pointing letters out to T. D did another 3-D playground - it's brilliant! This time, she was throwing a tantrum because she couldn't do trees. So I took it off her, put it to one side and we went shopping. As soon as she got back, she sat back down with it, and 5 minutes later, had figured out how to make a tree. She'd rolled a piece of paper into a tube, and then splayed the bottom out by making little vertical tears, before taping it to the paper. And they work perfectly! We're going through sellotape at an extraordinary rate of knots, but they are having so much fun. There are small pieces of coloured paper taped to pretty much every flat surface in the house. Went up to bed a couple of nights ago and found two A4 murals stuck to the wall above the head of my bed. Very cool.
