As Leah is soon approaching 6, I have noticed a particular interest in science and how things work. Her inquisitive nature has also expanded and I am faced with many ‘why’ questions on a daily basis.

Leah is now 5. She has come such a long way. She can write the letters in the alphabet, read and rote count to 20 (sometimes more!) What a journey of excitement so far… we cannot wait to see what the future holds for her … ‘Please can you come to my birthday’ – This… Continue reading Writing
