Anyway.
Monday: Made finger puppets, lots of activities, 1.5 hours of "school" :O
Tuesday: Made a sun, which is currently on the fridge, more "school"
Wednesday: Made a fan, more encouragement to play by herself
Today: We're going to make bunny ears, and play on the excersize machine and....hopefully more solitary activities for herrrr.
Tomorrow: NO IDEA. DEATH?
