Visit

My mother-in-law invited us to have a lunch, so we spent a day in Krompachy. In the evening we visited our aunt Marta. She returned from Sydney in Australia, where her daughter lives. Aunt Marta brought some special gifts to Di from Australia. We are very thankful to mother-in-law and also to aunt Marta. Di learned how to behave on a visit, although it is impossible to rectify child`s spontaneity. The most important way how to teach the social competences is an example to be emulated.

Rybka

Poobede k nám prišla babka zo Sabinova a spolu s Di vytvárali rybku. Potrebovali na to: farebné papiere, nožnice, výkres, lepidlo. Na výkres babka nakreslila rybku, ktorú následne vystrihla. Z farebného papiera vytrhávala Di s babkou kúsočky - šupinky, ktoré potom Di prilepovala na rybku. Babka namaľovala rybke ústa a oko a Di vymaľovala rybke chvostík. Medzitým mamke vykyslo cesto na dukátové buchtičky a boli mňamkové, lebo Di mamke pomáhala.

The tower

I had to go to Prešov today, so my sis took care about Di. They played with cubes and Di made a big tower. I bought her some new books, puzzles and coloured papers and games. Of course, I didn`t show her everything I bought, to prevent lack of interest. I realized, that I didn`t buy anything to me nor to my husband...

The sea

We made the sea today. Our neighbour Patricia came to see us, so I prepared them the paper (with Di`s scribble scrabbles), blue paint, paintbrush, an old sponge, scissors, a plate and some watercolours. First I cut the sponge into shapes like waves. Then I put the blue paint with the paintbrush on the plate. After that Di and Patricia plunged the sponge into the blue paint and made the wave prints on the paper. When it became dry, Patricia painted a fish.

Lentils or corns

Finally we didn`t have to go to the doctor, because she wrote a prescription and grandma brought it and she also went to the pharmacy. Di is better now, she doesn`t have the temperature, but she still has a cough.
From time to time she wants to play with lentils or corns. I cooked the lentil soup today, so she remembered this activity and wanted to play again.

Vesmír II

Táto aktivitka bola pre Di zvlášť zaujímavá. K tomuto veľdielu sme potrebovali múku,tanier, disperzné lepidlo, tmavý výkres a rôzne vykrajovačky na koláčiky. Na tanierik sme naniesli vrstvu lepidla, do ktorého sme potom namáčali spodnú hranu vykrajovačiek a tie sme potom odtláčali (lepidlovou stranou) na tmavý výkres. Výkres sme posypali múkou. Potom sme múku zosypali do koša. Múka prilepená o lepidlo v tvare vykrajovačiek zostala na výkrese.

Guľky

Di ležká v posteli a spí. V noci jej stúpla horúčka nad 38, tak sme jej museli podať Nurofen. Dnes sme sa vybrali k lekárke, ale akurát bol vnútri chlapček so žltačkou, a tak sme fukali preč. Zájdeme tam opäť zajtra. Je mi z toho smutno, lebo od začiatku tohto roka je Di veľmi často chorá.
Prenášanie guličiek z jednej misky do druhej pomocou kuchynských kliešťov podporuje precvičovanie motoriky. Hrali sme sa takto niekedy v marci. Di sa táto aktivita veľmi páčila a išlo jej to naozaj veľmi dobre.
