This week I have only catch up work to do (and laundry and homework) Then I start taking photos for a fabric designer (pixiedustdesigns.com) to photograph all of her new fabrics for baby rooms and baby bedding. Something a bit different for me, but shouldn't be difficult.
Ellis and I have a bit of a cold. She stayed home from school yesterday. Plus she has this horrible bruise on her chin from falling off of the toilet late one night. I feel horrible about it. I took her in to potty after she fell asleep but thought she was more awake than she was and she fell before I could catch her. The most painful injuries for a parent are the ones that you feel you may have caused or could have prevented.
Eva has field day at school today. Every year the kids look forward to this because they can wear regular play clothes to school and no uniform. With that, however, comes the drama of "what should I wear?" I guess if you only get to show your wardrobe a few times a year you really want it to shine! Painful to my heart that she is starting to hit this age and care.
She also has a test in math today..my fingers are crossed, she seemed to do well on her review.
Lee is struggling through counting. He is getting through the 20's now, but totally skipping 27, then struggling through the 30's and skipping 37. He can't seem to grasp yet the pattern of counting. Someday the lightbulb will go off and he will count without error. There is a chance he will be held back in Kindergarten, which is hard to come to terms with. His teacher believes he will get it, we have all seen lightbulbs go off before, but our concern is the delay. He is pre-reading, but he also does a lot of guessing. In some ways he is more advanced than his age. I think emotionally he falls in line, he seems to have more patience than most his age. He also has more empathy. We shall see, 4 more months in this school year.
