Monday seems to be our washing day. Ara loves to ride in the washing basket and help hand me the pegs or the clothes or neither. Poor Griffin (our cat) will often be covered in stones or have his tummy rubbed very roughly.

Today since it was lovely and warm I decided to fold the washing outside as I took it off the line. Ara was much more relaxed and happy.

Ara is now working on learning colours. The other day is was purple…only to a Mothers ear…but she was really copying what I was saying. Then since watching Mr Tumble she’s been saying trousers…so purple trousers was repeated many times while going to sleep the other night.

Today is Blue. I was making more play dough. She kept on saying purple for everything yellow, red, green…ah ha but when we got to blue she gave it ago.

We’ve been working on a great site “Something Special” which I feel is really helping us in many ways. Ara is learning to speak more words but also learning to sign as well which is really wonderful….you guessed it, her main word in sign is Trousers.
