Found Sock

We found Dad's woolly yellow sock yesterday. He lost it in Tasmania and Yvonne, being a meticulous housekeeper, remembered to give it to me when we visited. Me NOT being a meticulous housewife promptly lost it again until yesterday when it was discovered in the sewing pile. Kirk thought he would make up a story about it....
One day Grandpa was looking for his sock but he couldn't find it. Then he went to the zoo and it was there! It was being nibbled by squirrels. He was really angry and banged his foot on the ground and went into the cage and took his sock back.  [At this point Kirk fell asleep]
In the morning we stuck a couple of Harmony Day badges on it and it became a yellow eel which ate frogs and the puffer fish Nanny knitted.

Little Athletics

Last week Kirk started Little Athletics. He was keen to boast how he would beat everyone but the imagined did not match the reality and he was overwhelmed. Nevertheless, once Sean performed longjump with him he figured it was all right and started to make an effort. This week he managed to get over his fears a lot quicker and joined in.

Progress

Woohoo!! Kirk is starting to understand initial sounds and rhyme. I've really sweated over this one. It's all well and good to have letter recognition but then you have to put it together.

Fiddler Crab

Kirk has made a dozen or so butterfly prints today and this was his favourite.
