So the children in Denmark are locked out of school.....

No joke, it's not the 1st of April anymore. The teachers and the councils who run the schools can not agree. Agree on what?? Agree on how many hours the teachers should work and I'm sure other things as well, I must admit I don't quite get it! I won't bore you lovely readers with such a stupid thing. So what to do then?? Well, we're lucky that our school will keep an eye on the children but just not teach them! But lots of schools won't so the parents have to take the children to work....
The children don't complain though. They get to play with their friends at school but no school work to be done!
I think it's stupid and embarrassing but who cares what I think?!! Not the goverment apparently....

Okay, rant over! The Easter bunny that came here was very thoughful. It left Lego and a little less chocolate (which the mummy thought was great) for the little man and princess. It also left a tablet, or a 'padlet' as the little man called with excitement, for the whole family.... A little one but so appreciated.
I was so excited to bring it to the hospital today. I have medicine every 4 weeks which takes a couple of hours, and there's free internet there so I could work, read blogs and laugh at stupid Youtube videos. Just loved it, so thanks Easter bunny for being so thoughful!! (and now we have also entered the 21st century!)

Lego vs Computer....

The contrast between the princess and the little man's choice of toys Sunday afternoon was difficult to miss.
The little man asked to play computer and the princess was in a Lego playing mood. Sat next to each other, they were both playing a game which meant using the brain. Might be different parts of the brain but they both used skills. One - the imagination, the other - maths, working out when to jump and where from.
Playing with the same thing too long, too often I think most of us can agree is not the best. Lego though will never get a raised eyebrow if played with every day... Yes, I know Lego is more than imagination, it's developing fine motor skills too.
What am I on about then?? Well, nothing really. Just watching the diglots sitting at the same table, playing with two different things and finding it interesting, the contrast!
