The half-term holiday for the Autumn term is over, and the girls are back at school. They still seem to be enjoying things! Stephanie is going to be a munchkin in The Wizard of Oz play, and will join the choir and string ensemble. Being in year 2 at the moment, it seems there aren't too many additional opportunities for Helen at the moment - they mostly seem to start when children enter the "Main School" in year 3. I'm spending time in my office-in-lieu, the Malvern Public Libary, where I can get internet connectivity and power for my laptop, familiarising myself with organisational structures and catching up on work stuff.
Joanna and Berenice are spending time acquiring school uniforms, exploring hills, and looking after Christopher. He's convinced at least one grandparent of his superior abilities in the vocabulary department. The cardinality is currently approximately 6, with parent-discernable (on a good day with a little imagination) words including Dadda, Bubba, Broom (the sound a car makes, not a cleaning implement), Car, Tractor, and Bird. He is happy to stand himself up
without holding onto anything. He's been able to get up the stairs ever since we've been here, but now he can crawl/slide backwards down them as well, although not without supervision. He also enjoys playing "Ring a Ring of Roses". Here he is playing with a birthday present train (thanks Aunty Adria!).
