Coping With Holiday Inertia

I am determined not to let the hols slip away in a flurry of inactivity this year.

So Beth and I have agreed that we will have a daily timetable with (hopefully) a balance of activities and learning opportunities that interest her and that Mummy & Daddy feel she should apply herself to.

Today is Day 1 of 53 (I'm keeping count!).

We went to the optician to get Beth fitted for her new glasses, then to the library, where we bumped into Triston, Trudy & Yvonne. Beth borrowed, inter alia, two audio books (Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban; The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe).

Tonight, we will listen to CD1 of The Lion before bedtime.

As usual, Beth dove straight into her newly borrowed books and spent too much time reading.

Coaxed her into playing Jingle Bells (RH only) and some old pieces (Lavenders Blue; Marionette Dance).

Tomorrow's activities:

Bake a cake
Make a Christmas angel
Figure out chords for LH of Jingle Bells
Read Chinese textbook and do Chinese writing
