Well, Marguerite suggested I start a new thread, 'cos I'm beyond the initial introductions... does that mean I'm accepted?
We did manage to get out yesterday into the world after three days trapped by flood waters. It was a little hairy, but DD11 just kept the mantra up "we're not bogged" and we finally got through the 1.8km of boggy, watery road.
DD11 went to dancing and little cherub went a bit later. She had several 'accidents' but managed to tidy herself up and not be disgraced! We keep the wet ones on hand, and plenty of spare clothes. She enjoyed a dance class too, and later joined in with the Majors classes because DD11 was there,and she idolises her. The teacher is very understanding on a Saturday, as she herself has a special child now 16. Our regular weekday teacher also tolerates little cherub, I hasten to add.
Later in the day we went to help pack someone's house for moving and finally we came home, with a car fool of poopy clothes! I was exhausted...
Today we had a good day and DD11 took over while I had a nap. It was really lovely to hear the patience in her tone as she kept her occupied and quiet. When I got up they'd tidied and mopped the floors of the mud we've been traipsing in.
DD11 put together a choreography to a new piece of music and little cherub hastened to put on her dance shoes and copy it. That was so sweet, I wish I'd had a camera rolling!
Well, I just wanted to share what we did on this blessed Sunday...
