Ouchies!

My dear wee Maggie (who has followed in her brothers footsteps and now has a very nasty flu) got into her sisters room this morning and proceeded to attempt to use nail polish as eyeliner. Ouchies! Needless to say a fair bit of screaming ensued.

That has all added to my bad day. I only managed a few hours sleep as Ryan was struggling to sleep due to being very snotted up. And on the way to take Charlotte to school i grabbed the wrong keys and locked myself out of the house.
I think i'm going back to bed and we'll start the day again!

What the?

My two year old is learning to read and spell. What the? I actually think it is more of a memory thing and oh so trying to be like her big sister, but we were blown away by our wee Maggie last night.
Charlotte has flash cards of words to learn for school, which Daryl did with her last night. Maggie is always interested in this process, so Daryl did it with her afterwards. She got four right (Mum, Dad, Look and my). What the?
A little later on at bedtime i was reading a book with her that has animals and their names. We used to just look at the animal and make the noise, but since Charlotte has been learning letters Maggie had been pointing to the words and coming up with random letters, so for the last few times of reading this story (last time about a week ago) i have been spelling the word with her. Last night without prompting she spelt dog, cat, pig and goat. What the?
Watch this space.
