Music and movement.

Today, for the first time in as long as I can remember both K & M sat down and practised the piano without any prompting (okay - nagging) from me.  In fact M had two sessions of practice, one this morning and another after tea.

This afternoon was gymnastics, which they always enjoy but for the first time they didn't want to stay for the second session because their friend, C and her brothers were going to the park, and although they did want to carry on with the gymnastics they wanted to spend time with C more.  We went to the local park and apart from a bit of help with conflict resolution regarding choice of games from E and me, they had a really good time.

Apart from that, both K & M have had their sewing boxes out, making costumes for various toys.  M also did some cross-stitch from a kit that she started months ago and K made this little ball.

Finally, M told me she really didn't like me writing her a note in the little 'homework diary' and could I please go back to doing it how I did to start with.  Fair enough!
