So we are ready to go with school, albeit at home. The boys teachers have set them up with their first lessons and daddy day care is set to commence in under 30 minutes 🧐
Mum is heading out to the office at the bottom of the garden with only Alexa drop in to keep here entertained as to our progress 🙂
Wish us luck – there is alcohol for the parents that make the end of day 1 unscathed I hear….
Wishing all the mothers grandmothers, great grandmothers and of course mothers to be a very happy Mother’s Day today – we hope that you can enjoy your day wherever it may be 🎉🥳🥰❤️
We hope you have a terrific day despite needing to work and the impending lockdown that is slowly affecting all lives.
All our love, Simon, Elliot, Oliver, Best Dog and Fred xx
…. was successful and the eldest is now recovering nicely with his Xbox as a handy element towards pain relief 👌
Elly was incredibly brave yesterday – way more than I think we expected and the nurses made a comment on how wonderful his manners and overall approach was – nice one Els 🙂
Now it is all about relaxed recovery – we have arrange a week off school (lesson prep apparently will be shared with him via FireFly so at least he won’t find himself far behind 🙂
Last night was Olly’s parents evening and we had 15 minutes with his two core teachers.
Bottom line is that he seems to be happy at school (which we fully agree with now that the issues of earlier in the school year with one of his classmates appears to be resolved) and that with the exception of his ability to retain focus during lessons, he is doing well overall.
His SAT scores are 102 for maths and 110 for combined English. Therefore he is about where he should be (we did hear that phrase perhaps too often last night) although would really be helped with additional focus.
At this stage we are pretty happy with his progress and will knuckle down on his focus and writing – we saw clearly last night that he absolutely can write neatly, he just needs a greater focus on it and more and more practise.
