After a week

Sat 03/03/07
This morning we saw a pair of jays in the garden. They stopped on the trees and fences for a while. A blackbird appeared, was challenged by the smaller jay, then retreated to a further branch until the jays had gone.

This week flew by. MIL is staying with us again, there were viewings almost every day, J was ill with a tummy bug and normal arrangements had to be changed almost every day. Ia had a cultural day at nursery, and seems to be getting on very well with one of the teachers. She also joined in with a new Wednesday activity group, although she couldn’t get to all of it this week. She was learning about parts of the body.
The boys HE got a bit behind schedule with J’s illness, but they have continued to enjoy listening to me reading history books to them and managed to recount one of the incidents of the sahabah in great detail in their exercise books. I was quite impressed with their recall, alhamdulillah.
R has been very well behaved in his Quran lesson. They have been learning some more difficult tajweed rules without tantrums! They are generally getting on with it better now.
Today they got games for their new PSP and have been busy with that. Ia has been busy on the computer, insh’Allah she is learning something! U has been demanding lots of books, especially “Ar ra ruff” (The Billy Goats Gruff).
