We've felt as though we were battering our heads against a brickwall
John the R-T...
trying to get my son (13 going on 5) to sit up at the table properly and eat quietly. On Sunday when we went out for lunch, he sat up at Jackie...
the table properly, ate quietly, concentrated on his meal and even managed to cut up most of it himself. He even asked the waitress for a "s'oon" for the gravy. At the end he put his fork on the plate, went to put the spoon to the right, then moved it to the left and placed the knife on the right. All through the meal when he'd finished cutting his food, he placed the knife across the top of the plate. He did everything absolutely right - even the cutlery which we hadn't taught him!! :)) JoeH...
This afternoon, we went to see my dau (11 going on 16) play Lady Merryjig in "The Pepys Show". She had several solo parts, both singing and spoken. She carried the part superbly. Absolutely brilliant. She had the deportment, the manner, the demeanour, everything. There was no way, in full make up, that she looked remotely her age!! There was a cast of 60, the largest they've ever had - and over half the school - involved on a small stage. Three years ago she'd never have managed it. Two years ago she managed the opening speech of a class play and a minor role. Last year she played a bigger part - but this year she had one of the major roles and carried it off in style :)) She looks as though she's got a mild touch of jaundice now though because of the make up JoeH...
