Who’s Normal Anyway?

Well I’ve been busy. Thought I’d post quickly because we’re going to Center Parcs tomorrow until Friday, so I won’t be blogging this coming week either LOL.

I’ve been spending lots of my online time exploring Ancient Egypt in my new game and M has been playing lots of Runescape. L loves Jump Ahead Toddler and we recently found Jump Ahead Baby in a box and he likes that too - family of computer addicts!

L is also very into his singing and signing nursery rhymes DVD and asks for it on every day. He signs alot now. He does eat and says “eee”, signs cows and says “moo”, signs dogs, pigs and frogs as well as his previous favourite duck. He can sign for a biscuit and for more, consistently signs toilet when he needs a poo, does all gone and is learning to sign along with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. He loves us singing that and also Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. But it does get a bit wearing after the umpteenth time. I’m glad he’s signing well because his words are almost nonexistent, though he is saying his version of words (usually the vowel sound) with some of his signs.

The Beaver leader has resigned and I’ve agreed to become warranted and run the Beaver colony when she leaves in a couple of weeks time. I’ve been finding out more about the Beaver programme and how it’s supposed to run and thinking up meeting ideas alot in the last week or so. A is the GSL and advertised for more help and a couple with a toddler have agreed to both become leaders, one as assistant Beaver leader and the other with the Scouts. Today at Church I chatted to a Beaver parent who has agreed to help out too, and an ex Rainbow Guider who might also be interested in helping occasionally, so that is really positive.
