Although, it may not seem much like it. I have been doing a lot of blogging in the last couple of days–just not here. I have set up the Must See Movies and Bookclub blogs. All because Third Monkey asked a question…

More reading. Mostly, people (including me) didn’t really enjoy ‘Mary Poppins’. It apparently works as a read-aloud to a four-year-old… so we may try it again when Puggle is a bit older. Reading a book on editing that is quite informative. Still going with ‘The Well-Trained Mind’ and ‘Anne’. I have the first for one more week, and need to complete the copywork selection by the end of August. My problem is that I am too easily distracted:-(

I have started playing with making an art game so we can learn about different styles of art/artists etc. Of course, the time would probably be more usefully spent playing with Puggle in his current stage–he’s twelve weeks old (and _terribly_ handsome, blindingly intelligent, wonderfully co-ordinated, not to mention strong and sensitive [without being wimpy!] and I’m not in the _least_ bit biased!) and starting to be really talkative and interactive. He is beginning to be occasionally reliable with grasping things and is smiling lots. He’s no where near ready to start learning about art–he’s still at the focussing on faces stage mostly. I have started to make him a mobile though, just using some coathangers, paper, paperclips and fishing line that we have around the place. Still not sure how I am going to put it up… (this one is for above his change table). I also want to do one for above the cot, but I will probably wait until I’ve worked out the mounting mechanism for the first one. There is more room to experiment around the change table:-)
