friut bat!

Filed under: Aprilia, Life, Learning stuff

Aprilai has turned into a friut bat in an attempt to (how does one put this politely?) "go" without a strain.  So far it’s having no effect at all but hey, she’s eating fruit by the tonne and thus has no space for snacks other than fruit so it’s got to be good!  I’m assuming that a few days of fruit has got to shift things through and get her back to going normally surely?  Not sure I can cope with the expense of feeding a fruit bat for more than a week!!!!  She scofffed a full bag of grapes yesterday and half a punnet of plums (so surely she should ahve been up all night on the loo with that many fruit skins?????)

Anyway, enough of that!

Whre can I post up a video clip for you all to watch that isn’t public?  I’m guessing I can’f flickr it?  She got hold of the camera yesterday and discovered the video feature so we have a clip of her doing a "piece to camera" about our back garden.  It’s very comical but not entirely truthful…. aparently she and her friends have absolutely no fun in our back garden because it is so muddy but it always looks fun when they are out there - maybe they are just good at making the best of a raw deal? :lol:

I did the card last night, it’s nothign special, but it’s hand made and that makes all the difference.  So now I need to remember to POST IT TODAY otherwise I’m going to ahve to hand deliver it which I don’t really want to do :roll:

"school" is going well, she’s rediscovered Study Dog , finished level 1 and now has level 2 installed and had a good go at that yesterday, shame I didn’t download level 3 before they withdrew teh free versions, it’s good but not good enough to pay that much for the limited use she would get from it.  I am still looking at Education City though, I do think that it would be worth shelling out for some time soon if for no other reasons that it’s on line (so it must be good if you are 7 and a potential Geek!) StringBean already has it (and anything yoru mates have is therefore cool) and I can access "reports" to waft under certain noses.

She also did multiple pages of Miquon - it was more easy stuff, in fact she surprised herself by looking at one four digit sum and "just knowing" the answer.  I am trying to romp her through the bits I know she can do easily really fast to give her a feel for just how much she can actually do to hopefully bost the confidence for when we get to new stuff which she tends to instantly assume she can’t do!

Oh, and I promise to to a nice big Flickr upload later today, I just realised I’ve not been very diligent with Flickr recently and I have some very cute shots for you to giggle at!
