still not on full form

Jasmin has still been really struggling with her cold, so last week we stayed at  home and had family time.

In between the snuggles we started weaving Joshua's blanket, it is lovely to work with merino wool it is so soft.

Jasmin did some more finger knitting she is determined to make a mat big enough for  her bedroom.  At the moment her knitting stretches nearly one and half times around the inside of the house.

We also mastered tens and units, thanks to a post on Lisa's blog.  (I think her blog is really good, have a look at  "http://anordinary-life.blogspot.co.uk", it is full of fun, visual things to do and of course Lisa and her children's journey.  Jasmin enjoyed doing maths in columns.  I can't believe she actually asked to do maths now...

Jasmin is independently reading the Rainbow Magic Series, and is loving the fact she can just pick up a book now. Not bad for a girl who couldn't and didn't like reading whilst she was at school.

I have just ordered her the Sporty Fairies Series as a surprise.  We are going to London on the train on Friday for the weekend, and it will be lovely that she will be able to read on the train.

I finally got the hang of crochet after so many time trying.  I made some basic fingerless gloves and have just started on a pair for Jasmin.
