It's been a week and a half since I last blogged - I sometimes feel like this is a confessional - "Blogger, it's been 10 days since my last confession..." :)Anywho - We have been busy bee's here, sorting out the school room and doing school work. Jonathan's work have just replaced all of their old office equipment (desks, filing cabinets etc.) and so we have just acquired 2 desks, and 2 filing cabinets for our school. :) I was very excited to be able to set it all up, and also amazed at how productive it has enabled the girls to be with their work. They used to share a trestle table, but now they have a lot more space. It has helped them to concentrate on their individual work. YAY!
We have also been trialing a super-nanny technique - a token system. We bought a jar and 3 different colours of marbles. Basically the girls can earn or lose marbles depending on their attitude's, behaviour, etc. It seems to be working thus far, and we are trying to make it a positive affair - with special family outings on Saturday's if enough marbles are gained. Last week Aimee got the most, and we went out for lunch with Nanny & Grampy (Jonathan's parents). I actually think the whole thing is weighted in Aimee's favour - because she is not home during the day to lose any marbles. :)
