Things I Do With My Kids

For those who know me they know that I do truly enjoy Dr Who. So in my bedridden-ness today I started watching Dr Who in bed.

Well- the boys came home with Nana and Grandma and well Big and Little joined me. Its now 9pm and I'm explaining to my Big what the Tardis is and why its a blue box. Big is so fascinated. He likes the pepper pot (Dalek) and loved the aliens.

I've fostered many of his "habits" - Thomas the Train- which I could do with my Big. But now my back is so bad even sitting on the floor and arranging the tracks is to much.

So here we sit- watching Dr Who. Specifically the 9th!

I'm so excited I found something we can watch together!

Another thing we have started doing is reading. Recently I read this really interesting article that explains that kids don't have the ability to "block out" information like we can. So when you read the same book over and over again- there is less new information and more word retention. This has really helped with my frustration with reading Baa Baa Black Sheep with the Big 5 BILLION times.
