Dino-developments.

I'm not allowed to show the finished article, nor am I allowed to tell you who is working on it in the photo below.  But someone has now finished, to their satisfaction, the first version of a Lego dinosaur.  We found that there were a few pieces that had gone astray, and someone decided that she didn't want to do it exactly as the instruction tell you to (which I must admit my mildly OCD side did struggle with a little), but it looked very dinosaury indeed.

More dinosaur making has been happening here too.  K made M a little tyrannosaurus when she was poorly earlier in the week out of little pompoms and sparkly bits.  Before I was even up this morning, I had been presented with the parasaurolophus below and a short time later A had been given the stegosaurus, both of which, I am sure you'll agree, are really rather cute!

In other news K and I have been talking times tables.  She decided a while back she wants to learn them, but whenever I've suggested doing something about it she's chosen something else.  The current plan is to learn the 2, 5, 9, 10 and 11 times first, and we've already been practising the clever finger trick way of doing the 9 times.  Watch this space!
