After a very big weekend of partying, Spunky Monkey was a little overtired and crazy. By Tuesday he had hit rock bottom (disruptive, not listening, etc) His teacher asked me to keep him home for a day of rest.
What a lovely day it was, just us. We pottered about some op shops, getting some great bargains, 10 books for $9.00, you’ve got to happy with that. Back at home, we hung out, eating chocolate chunk cookies, reading, drawing, chatting. It was just so delightful to just be with him, with nothing else going on, no disruptions, no agenda. It seemed as if I heard him for the first time in a while. Clear your schedule and spend a couple of hours (at least) with your child, one on one. I highly recommend it.
A Medical Note: this will definitely cause your heart to swell.
This was my favourite find at the op shop
This was Spunky Monkey's choice, one for him and one for Miss Moo Moo
And here the others.
I was looking for some books that we didn't have on our shelf at home. They were: Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Billy Goats Gruff. I found them all today (and then some) Yay!
