Megz' Musings: June 2011
http://margham.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Well, doesn't time fly. I can't believe it's the beginning of June and the last time I posted anything was February. [EDIT: I can't believe it's the beginning of July and I started writing this a month ago]. All our puppies left home, and now we have had two kittens join our family. One day in late April, I sent Peter and Victoria to the supermarket to get the groceries. A couple of hours later they came back with several bags. I opened one up to find two little faces staring back at me! Victoria is very...

Megz' Musings: December 2010
http://margham.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
I cannot believe I haven't blogged anything for six months! Has it really been that long? But where to start? Ok, so what have we been doing since I last posted anything? One of the girls favourite places to go in Levin is the lolly and ice cream store. If Daddy gives them some money they will keep it to spend at the lolly store. Their favourites are lollipops and bubble gum. And that is where I think I will leave this update. I promise I won't leave it so long next time! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Written on 1st July, published in December). Kathleen was involved in a ballet show last weekend. She did one show on the Saturday afternoon, one on Saturday evening, and one on Sunday afternoon. Plus three rehearsals during the prior week. Well, ever since then she has been really complaining she doesn't like ballet, doesn't like doing the dance because she gets tired, and doesn't want to do the show. Potty Training Part V. So two and a half weeks ago I changed my last nappy and it feel GREAT! The Rest ...

Just before Christmas, our dog Skye gave birth to seven puppies. We were taking bets on how many. As she is so young and little I hoped for three or four puppies. Peter thought five. We were both blown away when it turned out to be seven. But they were all healthy thank goodness, and have grown into seven beautiful pups. With the puppies out of sight, they have dropped off Victoria's radar a bit. But she still loves them to bits. The puppies are all very compliant at being carried around by her. So Diamo...

Megz' Musings: Dear Kathleen
http://margham.blogspot.com/2011/02/dear-kathleen.html
Five years and 11 days ago you arrived into this world. Tomorrow you start your first day of school. You are such a big girl now, I can't even begin to describe how proud I am of you. You are intelligent, beautiful, inquisitive. You ask lots of questions and think about the answers. You still love being the centre of attention and you love telling jokes. Your favourite joke is "Knock knock. Who's there? Banana. Banana who? Knock knock. Who's there? Banana. Banana who? Knock knock. Who's there? Your favou...

Haven't heard much from me lately? I've been hibernating for winter. It is SOOOO cold. As well as daycare we have also joined the local Playcentre. We also regularly go to playgroups and music groups and the library. I have to get out of the house most days for my sanity. Plus it's warmer to go out than stay home! The girls are starting to play together sometimes (with help from me) but mostly Victoria likes to play with toys on her own and Kathleen likes to play pretend with me. Kathleen has also st...

Megz' Musings: Dear Victoria
http://margham.blogspot.com/2011/01/dear-victoria.html
As one year ends and another begins, and as you have recently turned three years old, I thought it was about time I committed to writing a little bit about you. You are a most interesting child – at times easy-going and at times very difficult. I'm still not sure I understand you completely. Your favourite thing at the playground is the swing. Since we have put up our swing at home it is one of your favourite things to do at home (second to playing with the puppies which is your number one favourite ...

We had a parent-teacher meeting at Kathleen's school last week (only these days they're called "Learning Conferences"). I was so pleased with her progress I just had to share:. Kathleen reads fluently at Level 11. She has a very good understanding of story meaning and structure. She consistently uses known strategies to solve unknown words. Kathleen is self monitoring her attempts and makes corrections. To continue reading for enjoyment and gain reading mileage. She leaves spaces between words. Books now...
