Poor Katy has been troubled by a really chesty cough since the last week of term. Tonight I was worried enough to want to keep an eye/ear on her through the night so I suggested she sleep in the big bed and we send Daddy to her bed (when he gets back from work about midnight).

This really cheered her up and she delightedly wrote this triumphant note:

Pardon my post-natal brain, but it's only just occurred to me that I could post MOVING images of Katy here.

Full marks to Katy's new class teacher, who has taught them 2 new things in her first week (Katy used to complain that they only taught her things she already knew).

You then read out a series of statements, and the children have to go and stand in front of the sign which they think is right for the statement. I could be wrong, but this looks suspiciously like they are being taught to think critically for themselves! Just a pity that the spelling needs a bit more work.

A tooth! A tooth! Clearly visible and razor-sharp. Sorry, but photographing a baby's tooth is like trying to bath a cat, so you'll just have to believe me.
