I believe in unicorns
I think we have "discovered" a new favourite writer for Aprilia! I’ve just read I believe in Unicorns to her and she has informed me that it is not going back to the library any time soon….. think I may just have to buy that one then! I’ll admit I could happily read it to her again (and again) and I’m hoping that that is the style of most of the M Murpurgo books as if so I think we may have hit the jackpot in books that are less air-headed than the ******* Fairy books but more within her reading ability than the Harry books!
In other news, we have been swimming twice already this week and have bought goggles which seem to hvae made quite a difference to her. She’s booked in for a week’s "crash course" in a couple of weeks, I didn’t realise until after I’d paid what time the lessons were but hey, normal people seem to manage getting up to be places by 8:30 so I’m sure we’ll manage. She’s continued to read to me with increasing confidence and stamina and is even venturing into "writing" by sending me random e-mails (ROFL, yes, we are turning into one of those families who e-mail each other from different rooms in the house….. she’ll be IM-ing me soon if i’m not careful!)
not sure what the problem is with emailing from different rooms, or even the same room for that matter

we really like Morpurgo but some are for older children (or less sensitive . . .).
Butterfly Lion was our first one. Loved it.
