NOTE ON PICTURES: This shouldn't be necessary but I have, sadly, noticed growing cases. Please DO NOT link directly to pictures on this website - it steals my bandwidth and is BAD! I CAN trace you if you do and I will take action.

"Mummy! I found a tiny frog!"
Edited: 15 August - It's a TOAD!! Carolyn mentioned it in comments, I looked it up and it is, indeed a toad. I guess he's not going to turn into a handsome prince - sulk, sulk - *laughs*.
This little pair of grubby, April-sized hands is holding the TEENIEST, TINIEST frog I've ever seen! It still had a bit of stumpy tail so was, not all that long ago, still a tadpole. Awww! cute!
On a different note, April has been very much entertained by a counting
game I made her based on the Montessori version. I made a (very simple!)
felt tree on a piece of card and wrote the numbers 0-10 on separate
pieces of card. She puts these face down, selects one at random and then
counts out the correct number of apples (or, in this case, red beads)
onto the tree. Here is a short clip of the game being expertly
demonstrated by my glamorous assistant 
She had done number 9, cleared the tree and was doing number 7.
PS - April also played this animal shadow matching up game which she rather enjoyed :)
PPS - I've got the prospect of a lovely peaceful evening with the kids in bed and Tim at church choir practice. Aaaaah!
