Things I Learnt in August…

Hello September!
I have no idea where August went but I’m quite happy to welcome September, the start of spring! So in line with the lovely Stoecel.com I am posting my monthly review today –

Things I learnt in August….

I learnt that reading out loud the school notice about book week projects will lead to an explanation of the word ‘diorama’ and then making one!

I learnt that getting the baby to smile is so much easier than catching one of those smiles with the camera.

I learnt that it does rain here occasionally…. and rain… and rain… and oh yes, it’s still raining! I am trying hard not to complain but hey weather, didn’t you get the memo? It’s spring today so could ease up on the freezing cold rainy days and through in a few more sunshiny ones, please.

I learnt that reading can be dangerous, that Man Flu isn’t as contagious as I thought and that I really do have a good bag of parenting tricks, even when I am tired.

I was reminded of how much infant reflux sucks…. and I am constantly reminded of that fact, especially when I get home from the post office only to discover I have a huge baby spew all down my back that no one told me about.

‘We Played’ fairy stories, pretend cooking, tiny treasures, tying laces , and cooking pita chips.

I learnt how much I hate ‘Show and Tell’ at school…. and how much my girls adore it.

I learnt that my girls possibly have a problem with hypochondria…
Zoe – “I have a line on my foot that might, possibly, one day maybe, if I cut it, become a sore… so I need a band aid.”

And I learnt how annoyed I would get with someone who just didn’t bother to vote… despite the fact that almost two weeks later we still don’t have a new government.

What did you learn in August?

  1. I learnt to find the good things amongst all of the bad.

    I learnt that I am tired of blogging and tired of being told what I can and cannot write about. I learnt that I can’t keep up with the popular people or the new forum and I learnt about how that makes me feel.

    I learnt that I really really need a holiday and if I don’t get some down time soon, I may just break for good.

    PS Love that photo of your smiley boy.
