Last week, Sol started reading and towards the end of the week, he picked up knitting and he is knitting little Noah a scarf. He is so happy with himself and it is lovely having him sit beside me as a knitting companion.
We have started on the Four Processes of Maths and had a great time sharing out strawberries which Gnome Divide had provided for a snack on our gnome division adventure.
The primroses are up and have little buds. The blackthorns are about to burst into bloom covering the hedgerows with their white blossom.
Wild violets are peeking here and there and the carpet of dog's mercury in the woods is emerging and adding green to the woods.
We loved this - a dog mercury plant has sprouted underneath an old snail shell lifting it up and up as it grows towards the sun.
Oh, I love that little hands knitting photo, so beautiful! Mia, who is 5, would love to learn to knit, I need to find some child friendly wooden needles for her now.
ReplyDeleteKelly, thank you for your lovely comment on my blog. When I found your blog a few days ago it brightened my day so much. I love seeing another family, whose children are allowed to get *really* muddy! We often get either bemused or disapproving looks when ours cover themselves from head to foot in mud or strip of to swim in the river.
I read right back through your blog while drinking camomile tea last night! I am so inspired by the creative and lovely learning projects that you do with your boys. And I wanted to ask, are there books you would recommend, I would love to pinch some of your ideas!
Such an exciting time for your whole family too, expecting a new little soul too :)
I look forward to reading lots more from your inspiring family life.
Bright blessings

I hope you are well...I am sure that little one is getting ready to arrive. What a lovely future awaits you and your family. Sending positive birthing wishes..Have the best of times my dear friend.
Lots of love
