Oops...

- I haven't posted for a while!! I seem to be busy doing other things, taking Lauren to meet her new teacher, attending parent/teacher interviews and receiving the first school report, which I might add we were thrilled with!!, taking more photos for my final 2 photography modules, enjoying the good weather, crashing my car into the house (yes you read that correctly!!), you get the general idea.

Janine on her blog had created a photo collage of what she had been doing and being inspired by this I made this one tonight:



Raindrop - from my latest module, creating a sense of movement

Amy playing peekaboo between the steps of the slide

Lauren's latest fascination - ladybirds and all things "mini-beasts." They have just completed this topic at nursery.

Getting up close to a CD sprayed with water to create abstract art for another photography module

Fancy a drink? Painting with light using a torch for another photography module

Lauren enjoying the sunshine

A rare shot of my girls together, enjoying some cooling refreshment on a warm day (I was also experimenting with fill-in flash for my last module)

Some Hama beads up close- why?

Random flower in the garden, up close and against a fab blue sky

I made a trip to Eden Pottery the other day with the girls, Lauren was warned not to touch anything and Amy, much to her disgust, was tightly strapped into her buggy!! I am ashamed to say that I have never been there before, however I did buy some teachers presents and made a mental note to return and sample the delights of the coffee shop, minus children!

To date I have refrained from voicing my concerns on-line about Amy's speech - or lack of it. However, she is really making progress of late and is saying lots of new words and putting them together. Yesterday we went to have a nosey at a housing development near to us and whist viewing the upstairs, Lauren discovered the bathroom and announced to us "look at the big, big bath!!" Amy equally thrilled at the size of the bath pointed at it and in her loudest, broadest Northern Irish accent shouted, "big big baff!!" Couldn't help but smile! :)

Enjoy your week!

Good on you Amy. She will be chatting in sentences before you know it. If not, I know a great speech and language therapist or two! (she will not need one so so don't worry!) Will be in touch soon. Moving into our house has gone well. Chickens already adorning the wall! x

Great pictures again - love the beads. I've been putting together a photo collage too - that Janine, she's very inspiring!

Love the collage and am intrigued by some of the images - very cool indeed! And I know a great speech therapist who once told us not to worry about Conor's lack of chat, and now our only worry is how to stop him talking! She is very good:)
