This last couple of days have been fairly relaxed. I have been running errands and we have all been chilling out after a busy day at the zoo and a lot of stress lately.
Caden attended Beaver Scouts with his uniform for the first time and came out with a neck scarf and yellow woggle. He proudly told me he was on the yellow team. He was given a disposable camera to take any photos he likes and bring the camera back next week. That was our Friday project.
We have been watching lots of family films while it has been dark and cold outside, all three of us have enjoyed just cuddling up and enjoying the films. It's really cool that even Miles gets some of the funny bits so we can all enjoy some of the humour in the films.
Our neighbour put a fat filled coconut shell in the hedge outside our lounge window. Caden spent some time watching a little Robin pecking the food out earlier. There was a Jay and a Thrush that we saw too. A little bit of narrow boat twitching.
Lots of hanging out together. Miles is loving his toys right now, he loves to explore all the little things in the boxes that we have brought on board. He likes to set them up carefully in whatever game he is playing inside his head. Woe betide you if you step on one or move one slightly!
Caden took photos of the boat, inside and out. He also photographed swans, a woman on a kayak and the canal itself in both directions. I had to stop him from taking photos of bums! I don't think that would have gone down well in scouts. I am not entirely convinced there are none on the film. I will brace myself when we go back to scouts in case I get taken to one side....
He really enjoyed the camera anyway and learned how disposable cameras work. It's funny to think that we always did things this way not too long ago. Technology moves so quickly.
And.... Caden sat down and had his hair cut without a whinge or a complaint. All hell normally breaks loose so this is real progress. He looks the business now and most importantly he is really happy with his hair.
We started Code Adademy this week. We started on Python but after a long chat with Caden's Dad (who is into programming) we agreed to do HTML. We have started and learned about hypertext. We put a little bit of code in and the process has begun. I hope we can do a little bit each time we sit down.
I have renewed the Maths subscription but it doesnt start until the end of Feb so I will be leaving formal maths until then and then caning the maths for a while.
