At one point she was wearing my dressing gown and walking back and forth with it trailing out behind her, saying "pretty - pretty".
We've been doing a lot of fun activities lately. For sensory play, I set up a big ikea plastic tray with a big of flour - half plain and half gram flour - and let Audrey have at it with a wooden spoon and her hands. Afterwards we had a bath and Audrey helped me to sweep up the spilled flour with a dustpan and brush.
We've been playing more and more with the marbles (or "bubbles" as Audrey calls them - she thinks they are frozen bubbles). We work on the fine motor skills, transferring them between different jars, bottles and boxes using fingers, spoons, spades etc. We sort them by size, talk about "more" and "less" and have just started working on the concept of "one".
I try to encourage her to move things across the mid-line of her body, as this is really good for her development in terms of gross motor, muscle control, and body awareness or "mapping".
We've been having SO much fun lately with the home ed folks, including going on a boat trip yesterday on the canal!
Audrey was most impressed by the ducks, and made some little friends at the play park we went to when the boat stopped. One of the little girls had a toy doll, Audrey pointed to it and said "baby!"
We collected flowers in the park on our way back. Wonderful day.
