We had a day out today. Even though it was warm, it was good to be in the air conditioned car! We met up with friends at the park and the kids had a good play. Zak seemed to take charge and look out for the little boys, while Kaliah kept on eye on the girls.
It was great to get them out, they had sensory stimulation, development of gross motor skills (especially for the little ones) and a lesson in responsibility for the older two! So when we got home, I actually gave them the afternoon off from any formal work cause they had expended so much energy at the park. They played S games instead ... Zak is really getting into The Legend of Zelda, it seems to be teaching him how to read maps (amongst other things!). Today he learned that drawing a line between two points vertically and another line between to points horizontally on a map created an intersection, which is where he found a secret entrance! Problem solving skills!! Well done!
