Shoes and stories
Shoes and stories
We took Matthew (and Daniel) to town this morning for his feet to be measured ready for back to school shoes. His feet havent grown since last time - but we bought him a new pair of shoes from Clarks as the buckle has broken on his current pair. Matthew was offered the same shoes again, but he chose a Clarks pair to get the Jack Nano toy car and spent some time this evening playing on the app.
Yesterday evening we had an unusual night-time disturbance from Matthew (who usually goes to bed without any problems and gets up on his own in the morning), as he was frightened by a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical video that Louise showed him in the day. He didnt like the scene where Violet turns into a giant blueberry, and then became scared when his toy Turtles began making noises in the night (the batteries are dying - they sometimes randomly call out phrases on their own). Despite this, he is now keen to read the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book.
Matthew has been enjoying David Walliams childrens books for his bedtime story recently. After reading Gangsta Granny, we read Demon Dentist and are now reading The Boy In The Dress. Although Matthews reading has improved a lot and he can now read simple English, were reading the stories to him as the language is a bit too complex for him to read properly.
