Hot!


[meditating on the rug]

I haven't had much nice too say of late, I'm hot, tired and generally fed up... and my grand-mother often used to tout... "if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all".

Hence, it's been pretty quiet around here, no?

Well I really do have a lot in my life that I could be happy about if I wasn't so busy focusing on the things that are making me crabby. So I've decided to undertake my own 30 Days of gratitude project.

I'm can recognise that 30 consecutive days might be a bit much for me right now, but i'll do what I can to stop, notice and feel grateful for something in my life every day, and tell you about it here... maybe that will be enough to send my whiny crabby thoughts on their way?

So to start off :: I am so grateful that Angus has a kinder teacher who finds time in her day to go 'above and beyond' and send a little snippet and insight into what my boy gets up to at kinder (details can be a little sketchy from him, so it makes a great tool to start a chat with him on what he did at kinder today...)

"It was great!! They also discovered that if you put your puppet on the overhead projector , it made a wonderful shadow on the wall,and you could add other bits and pieces to add to the interest of the shadows!" by A's kinder teacher

"When we went outside we had great fun with water, the aqua play with boats, doll washing and hanging clothes on the line and watching the waterfall trickle! Very relaxing!" by A's kinder teacher

How good is that! I still find it hard to get any information out of boys, no matter how big they are! Hope this project helps you move through this grey patch...let me know if there is anything I can do. I can tell you that as they get older, and more independent, three does actually get easier.
Love Nic

Sounds like a great project. It's good to have something that helps you to step back from the immediate issues and take note of the broader picture of life.
Looks like they have alot of fun at Kinder! Wish we had that much information about what C gets up to at childcare!

I don't think you're at the same kinder as ours, but gosh, they do look similar.
