My plan though, is that we&#8217;ll start with this, and it will take as long as it takes. We&#8217;ll stick with the three [...]]]></description>

We did do a lot of singing, and some cooking, but not a lot else:-( Have kind of kept going with all the music though, which has been good. Puggle&#8217;s started getting really regular in his enthusiasm for Milly-Molly-Mandy Stories. We&#8217;re now on the second book, Further Doings of Milly-Molly-Mandy [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve started back reasonably well. I wouldn&#8217;t say we&#8217;re fully back into the swing of things, but we are definitely back to singing, Mat Time, and some of the reading. Puggle is happy to go and choose an activity from the sewing cabinet (and mostly put it away again).

As I was happy with the structure of our year in 2007, we&#8217;ll stick with the same thing in 2008. I have made a decision about the term names.

		<description><![CDATA[Today we read by The Secret of Saint Nicholas by Mary Anne Kamols. I quite enjoyed it, although it was probably a touch too long for Puggle. I also appreciated the uncluttered style of the art. It&#8217;s probably an ideal book for a child who has just worked out the whole Father Christmas &#8216;thing&#8217; as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We read How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. Many times.
We reread The Night Before Christmas, and Puggle is joining in most stanzas enthusiastically.
Bilby tore the link off the chain. It took some effort, but Puggle cheered her on enthusiastically:-)

		<description><![CDATA[Advent approaches. I&#8217;m already one step ahead of last year in that I remembered that Advent Calendars start at the start of the month!
This year, I&#8217;ve actually gone through my boxes of picture books to pull out all the Christmas themed ones—and have found the ones that I lost last year! This means I&#8217;ve had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been seeing references to Homeschool Share for some time. I&#8217;ve just begun working out what we&#8217;re going to do for Art study in the Christmas block, and I thought I might find some ideas there. I don&#8217;t know that I&#8217;ve found what I was looking for, but it looks quite interesting. It sounds as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A fairly basic week. We did manage Mat Time on 4 days (which is as many as I would anticipate), although, on Swimming day it was  rather abbreviated! The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse is significantly shorter than many of the other Beatrix Potter stories! ‘Thumbelina&#8217; mentioned Swallows, so we spent some time on the [...]]]></description>

Puggle remembered a lot of what we talked about last time, he was generally good about taking care of the &#8216;beards&#8217;, and he certainly remembered about mixing the paint and water, and cleaning off the brushes. He was able to be dramatically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In all the recent art talk I&#8217;ve been noticing watercolours with interest. Then, a couple of weeks ago, Alice posted her family&#8217;s lessons (and I&#8217;m hoping there will be more!) I really like what she did, but I&#8217;m very aware that her children are much older&#8230; so I can&#8217;t just &#8216;follow&#8217;. Then the last time [...]]]></description>
