Ribh's D'Coopage

[BY Bob]

I forgot. I have to remember for next Wednesday!

It is still Wednesday. Put some water in the coop and take a photo.

That little cry they make is so very sad that you just have to help them. It is one of the hardest things with integration.

Yes. They're not fully integrated yet & still in the small coop but everyone else had managed to get up the ramp to bed but Oshina, for some reason, hadn't managed it.

Hopefully she'll be ok tonight

Do they play snap or snakes and ladders?

They're 2 & 4 ~ so I could teach the 4 yr old but not his sister. I have a memory matching game I play with him when his sister naps.

Do they have any of those kids jigsaw puzzles in trays?

You could also play the memory game with items on a tea tray covered by a tea towel. They look at the items then you cover it up again, remove one item and let them look at the tray again to try and guess what's missing.

Items you could use: key, pebble, spoon, small toy, pencil, eraser, coin, postage stamp, toy ring, super ball, a jack or knucklebone. Anything small enough to fit on the tray really. Put fewer things on the tray for the two year old so she has a chance to "win". You could also secretly add something to the tray to see if they notice.

They can also help with housework (never too early to learn!). Dust, vacuum, fold clothes and wash up together. My kids enjoyed "washing up" while I wiped. Water went everywhere and the same couple of plastic cups got washed over and over again but kids love water.

Blowing bubbles. Here's a method for giant bubbles.

You can "paint" with plain water on the footpath or the side of the house with a paint brush and a bucket of water. Chalk is fun too.

Don't forget to make pillow forts with lounge cushions and blankets. This is a good place to have lunch followed by an afternoon nap. The dining table with a couple of big blankets hanging over the edges also makes a good cubby house, especially if there are some comfy pillows and blankies underneath too.

Good girls. They learn fast.

How is Desdemona doing?

Yes. They're not fully integrated yet & still in the small coop but everyone else had managed to get up the ramp to bed but Oshina, for some reason, hadn't managed it.

The way you integrate, one day and its over, I guess I got confused. Please forgive me.
