Just a quick post. We have had a post-Christmas quiet period, and a bit of fence repair, and haven’t done too much of interest. Eve and Tess are getting back to a normal routine: nursery, trips to the library and their other activities.
Last Sunday we took a trip to Reading Museum at Eve and Tess’ request. Tess has been down a bit recently for their Tots Story Time, but Eve hasn’t been for a while. They enjoyed reading the books and looking at the Huntley & Palmers Biscuit Tins (playing the biscuit tin pianos) and looking at the animals. They also enjoyed the replica Bayeux Tapestry, although this did cause some confusion for Eve.
First of all there was the dead king Edward (how did he die? why did he die? why is he in a box?). Then moving around we came to the battle itself: How did Harold die? How did he get “poked” in the eye? Why did he get poked in the eye? Why isn’t he in a box? And so on. Its interesting seeing it through her eyes.
Another classic Eve conversation went:
Eve: is that the school I’m going to?
Becca: hopefully, we have to find out if they have a place for you.
Eve: <thinks> maybe if somebody dies?
Tess has started becoming better at recognising smells. Just the other day Becca was getting her out of the car and she instantly noticed the smell of smoke. She has also started writing her name, and Eve has been very keen in helping her with this, writing the letters for her to write over.
A few pictures and a film (hopefully).

That scootering is very impressive.
