It's slightly cooler today, which is nice, but I've checked the weather forecast and I think we should have a dry day. Has anyone had any thunder storms yet? At the beginning of the week it said we would get some today, but when I looked this morning, it said they're due tomorrow. So really it's anyone's guess when or if we get any!
This is my last working day of the week and I'm ready for a day off tomorrow. This is the first week with my new cohort and I'm really missing the ones who have left for school. I realise now how good they were at tidying up! I've now got all under 3s - a mix of 2.5 year olds and 1.5 year olds. They're all at the stage of emptying everything onto the floor and not really playing with anything. Then, when I say "should we all have a tidy up?" I'm met with a wall of blank faces :panic: I'd say that to the 4 year olds and everything would be back in its box or on the shelf in record time. I need to train the younger ones in the art of putting toys away :laughing:
I'm also finding them harder work as they need to learn a few boundaries. Mainly, if another child is playing with a toy, don't go and take it off them, don't throw toys at each other and don't jump on the sofa! I know they'll soon learn the rules and get into a good routine here - it'll just take a bit of work to get them there!
As it's been a busy week, DH and I are going out for dinner tonight so I don't have to cook and he doesn't have to wash up :laughing: I think we'll make it our regular Thursday treat!
Enjoy your days everyone.
