On Thursday Evie as upstairs getting dressed (it took the usual long time :)) and I noticed that the landing light was on (I was sure that I hadnt turned it on) so I turned it off from downstairs, and then I went upstairs and saw that her bedroom light was on too!
So I asked her if she had turned them on? and she said yes she had...
...I watched her stand on her stool and turn on the light :)
So I told her she was a clever girl and gave her a high five :).

first Brucie and now Len
When I checked my e-mails today I saw one of the headlines was that Len is leaving Strictly :(
Im not sure if Im going to watch it this year (I will have to wait to see who is appearing first) but I doubt that I will watch it next year onwards.

a new food to eat
The other day we wee in the supermarket, I was getting Evie some burgers and I saw a box of potato waffles..
...as she likes eating chips I thought it would be something that she would eat.
So last night I asked her what she wanted for dinner?
She said she wanted a burger, so I then asked her to promise that she would eat it (as sometimes she only takes 1 bite and then says she doesnt want anymore of it) and she said yes. While I was getting a burger out of the freezer I saw the box of waffles in there so I got one of those out too :)
I did her some sweetcorn too.
She actually ate all of the waffle and even asked if she could have another one, I told her she couldnt because they take 15 mins to cook, she didnt eat much of the sweetcorn but having ate the waffle I expected that anyway :)
Its good that I have found something else that she will eat :)

a lot of this and a bit of that
On Thursday I took Evie to big school and there was already a queue forming outside the EYFS classrooms...
...we were discussing what would happen in class and I thought that there would be a story, a song and drawing.
Then at 1.15pm the classroom doors were opened and the kiddies went in (well all of them apart from Evie).
So her teacher sensing her reluctance asked her if she wanted to hold his hand to go into the classroom (that made me feel happier as it shows that he is going to make an effort with her),
I am please to say there were no phone calls saying that she was really upset so that was good, and I went to pick her up at 2.45pm.
On our way home I asked her what they did there was a story and they sang the wheels on the bus (you really cant go wrong with that song) and she coloured in a triangle in pink (so I was right :)).
On Friday it was back to pre school and she said that she didnt want to go...
...so I got her dressed and we went there and as I was talking to one of he ladies there she started crying, so I gave her a kiss and a cuddle and told her that she would have fun and that I would be back after her second play in the playground.
I was talking to D her keyworker when I picked her up at home time and she said that Evie was upset on and off all day and thinks (the same as I do that starting big school is unsettling her).
Today Evie had her last tap dancing class (next week is her end of year show) and when it was time to go up with the teacher she started crying,,she went upstairs anyway and didnt end up coming down early so that was good.
James thinks that she is upset because of the show (she might be and normally she is ok once she is doing something enjoyable).
A friend of mine (her daughter is 4 days younger than Evie) said at least the unsettledness is coming now rather than when she is at school.
I know that she will settle in ok and will make loads of friends :).

a welcome back hug
It was back to pre school yesterday after our holiday and Evie wasnt keen on going back...
...I gave her a cuddle and told her that she would have fun ;o)
When we walked in D (her key worker) gave a huge "Ive missed you" hug which was lovely ;o)
Today we have the next "starting school" step which is leaving Evie there for an hour and a half.
She has already said that she doesnt want to go!
Ive told her that she will have a fantastic time and will meet some new friends...
