Not Complaining

Posted by Deb on Monday February 26, 2007 at 9:22 am

Some days just start good :-)

I had a post in my head (come on, all the rest of you who blog do it too, admit it ;-) ) about Jack, who has been, um, challenging, recently. Well, he’s been challenging for while, but recently he’s been, uh, extreme-challenging. Like extreme ironing only less fun :roll:

But then, at 9.05 this morning, I looked around me. Barney was sitting at the table working on French (heh, I wonder why?) I’d spent about twenty minutes with Henry, looking back over the old chapters in his maths book and discovering that he could do it with ease, rather than the struggle he often experienced when we looked at it before. Well, Henry was discovering it, I already knew - that’s why we were doing it ;-)

Freddy was also at the table - with a grin on his face and saying “This is so easy!” about his science book - actually the last few pages of it, which are KS2 SATS practice. I don’t suppose there are many kids in school who see the words “SATS Practice” and go “Yeah! SATS practice!” LOL

Toby was in the kitchen, roaring with laughter at Jack, who was entertaining him while vacuuming the kitchen floor. Yes, my four-year-old was vacuuming the kitchen floor. I vacuum the kitchen most days, usually after breakfast - the vacuum cleaner lives under a cupboard in the dining-room, already plugged in, so it only takes a couple of minutes and it saves us from walking on crumbs all day. Today, Jack was looking for something to do, so he decided to do it for me, and spent about 25 minutes on it (before I made him put it away again - though in retrospect, maybe I should have just extended his territory LOL) There’s not a crumb to be seen :-D

So, you know, maybe I’ll save that moan for another time ;-)

lovely. I do love those moments when they realise that something they are sure is really hard turns out to be easy after all!

Aw, I love those moments :) And well done to Jack - none of mine will hoover because it’s too loud :roll:

So, did the day carry on that well? ;-)
