Home-stamped wrapping paper because we needed some to wrap presents. Little P thought the christmas trees needed roots so i gave him a thick pencil that looks like a stick to draw roots with. Haha.

We made the stamps using used cardboard. Not the cleanest way of doing things compared to carving the stamp on a potato for example. But the effect of using the multicolour stamp pad is surprisingly colourful. I was a little worried that we might end up with brown trees looking at the way he wanted to layer on all the colours.

We made two wrapping paper in the end. The second one is more minimalist comprising just a row of trees. There was lots of white space so he decided to draw a Ducktours boat on it.

Morning light.

The curtains were parted just allowing a crack of light through this morning. I thought I would try taking a photo of her on the chair. Ok that didn't happen.

Sharing with you this seemingly hushed, quiet moment of solitude. The behind the scenes audio will be peppered with "Donna, up, up." followed by silence followed by "Donna, up, up." If she doesn't respond the first or second time, you know repeating is unecessary cos she's just not going to, so you work with what you have. Because I enjoyed this moment of serendipity.

Dogs with human faces? :P

530pm yesterday. My brother fell asleep so we can go for a walk early. 🤭 But it was a wet wet day. No scents left on the grass to sniff. 😤

Donna is 13 years old. Adopted when she was maybe 3 to 3.5 years old? It's actually not a bad idea to adopt a grown dog as first time dog people. We were able to get a sense of her temperament and whether she is child-friendly, etc when deciding to add a new dog into the family.

Sharing that "cute" dog and baby picture contributes to a serious problem.

I've talked about how I have been storing Little P's fine motor Montessori work and art work done at home and at school in a clear pocket folder. You can check out a review of his work between 18 to 36 months in my previous blog post here. This blog post reviews Little P's 36-41 months work. I do intend to update again at the end of the year with his 42-47 months' work so we get a complete review of the year....
