At home

Christmas in Sway

Eli's note to Santa specifies, quite correctly, 'I made the sloe gin'. Santa reports it was delicious!

Science Museum

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town

Eli met Santa at his school Christmas Fair.
What do you want for Christmas? A Star Wars costume.
He hasn't even seen Star Wars!

Christmas Tree

Putting up the tree was a pleasure but it was a day Eli was off school due to a new bout of coughing/asthma type thing and we're actually really worried about it and how to play it. It turns out a bunch of people we know have had kids visit hospital for a turn with the nebuliser. Is everyone more ill these days, or do you only notice it when you are a parent?

Ben Ten watch

Well done Stef!

Scary

Music

Coro a bocca chiusa ("Humming chorus") is the backdrop to our pretending to be dead game. When the music changes we go hunting for the monster. Good choices of music to accompany the theatre.

Piano

Hot on the heels of the bugle, we just got a digital piano.

Chicken?

"Is there a country called chicken?

Turned out Elias was thinking about Turkey :)



This morning - big day - he cycled to school for the first time. Why's that a big deal? School is at the top of Highgate Hill! And that's with no gears!
