Just Another Tuesday
Barney and George spent a good part of the day planning and writing adventure stories. I can see their writing developing - Barney’s stories get longer and more complex each week, and George is learning to explain things to his reader a bit more - his stories often consist of series of noises, like “Bam!” “Yeuch!” “Pow!” “Owee!” - and I’m supposed to understand the action 
They both did some Latin and French too, and all of them did some more of the Mapping project. George and Freddy did more of their Solar System book - Jupiter and Uranus today - and Freddy did a huge amount of maths. Several maths concepts seem to have just clicked into place for him, including some we haven’t actually covered, like negative numbers. He seems more grown-up in quite a few ways recently.
Toby has been clingy and a bit whiny all day. He’s got his first tooth coming - I can see the tip of it just below the gum - but I wonder if he’s also coming down with something. At any rate, plans for scalloped potatoes with tonight’s dinner were abandoned when it became clear I wasn’t going to have two hands for long enough to slice the potatoes, and we had the emergency instant mash instead 
Freddy had Beaver Scouts tonight, and George had St John Ambulance Badgers. They’re both home and in bed now, but Barney isn’t back from Cadets yet. He’s signed up to do some volunteer work with them, though I’m not really sure what that involves; I think he just goes along to events with them and presumably does serving of cups of tea and stuff - I can’t see him doing any actual first aid yet. He’s enthusiastic though, and I think it’s good that he wants to do it anyway 
In: babies, education, family, life, social stuff
