"I'm bored!"

If Laura could speak English, this is what she would be saying!

She is clearly fed up of being off school and having her usual routine disrupted by Christmas! Apart from the bubbles, balloons and balls that Alex bought for her, she has showed no interest in her presents and in fact I opened them all as she wasn't even inclined to shred the paper.

She has even got fed up of all her Fimbles and Tweenies DVDs as five minutes (or less) into them she starts screeching for them to be changed. I've been a slave to the controller and the sink this holiday as her other main pre-occupation is water. She has learnt a new trick though as she can now pour water from one container to another! Of course this skill is not yet fine-tuned and much of the water ends up down her clothes or on the floor!

So when Rainbows rang this morning to say they'd had some cancellations and did Laura want to stay for the weekend, until Monday morning?... I said "YES!" very loudly! And you know what, she was soooo happy to go there. She has fallen in love with a set of large tactile discs that they have hooked to the wall on one of the corridors and she happily spent an hour and a half taking them off the wall and then putting them back up again. When I went to say goodbye she was obviously fearful that she was being taken away from them as she pushed me towards the exit!!!! So we are both going to be happy this weekend and if you wonder what I will be doing, I can tell you it will mainly be SLEEPING!!
