Wednesday is our busy day. Drama for Judith at 10, preschool group (crafts, singing and a story) for Andreas at 11.30, recorders for Judith at 12.45 and football for Judith at 2.30, with copious playing and eating and such in between. Andreas said that his favourite part of the day is lunchtime - I pack a lunch and the last few weeks I've done individual lunch in lunchboxes, otherwise I pack a picnic in a big coolbox, either way they just dip in when they're hungry and play the rest of the time. Judith spent 5 minutes at lunchtime explaining why the carrot sticks I put in were disappointing. You can't win them all, but I had coffee so I was OK.
