Little Miss had the morning to herself

Danielle doesn't often get one on one time with me. Nathan gets quite a lot since Danielle naps probably 3 times a week still. But today, we dropped Nathan off at Playcentre on his own and we went home for some time together.

Upon arriving home, she discovered the vege box and expressed interest in cutting it open - she hasn't before and just lets Nathan do it. So I imagine from now on they'll be sharing that task lol.

Doing a puzzle on her own and of her choice. Once again, she's usually pretty content to just go along with Nathan's ideas (aside from taking herself away to play with dolls), so it was interesting to see her gravitate towards her own choice of toys. She grabbed out the farm puzzle and made a really good crack at doing it herself and only asked for a little help now and again.

Danielle then pulled out the spelling cards and both were playing with them. Nathan moved on to making up his own word by adding one letter at a time and asking me to pronouce it - which resulted in heaps of giggling from both kids.

Just chillin' this afternoon

And now, Nathan is up late - we've read some Little House, he's gone off and done some writing, had the pleasure of looking at stars since it's been a while due to the long summer nights (which are sadly greatly shortened now), helping dad make me a lemon and honey drink, munching on popcorn, fed the dog and soon to snuggle down for a sleep.
