Esme received Henna from Father Christmas, and a book on how to do designs. Here is her first attempt - which she painted on herself this week. I think she did very well.

51/52 The GraceFaith year long art project
Choosing a favourite piece of art, each week of the year
Going crackers! Quite literally as I've come to the end of 2017 and realised my week for this post is dated as the 51st. Scanning back I appear to have featured weeks 27 and 28 twice. Or was that 37 and 38? Don't suppose it matters now - out with the old and in with the new. Except, I'm not planning on keeping a continuous record of the children's art each week over 2018. At nine and six, they don't produce as much as they once did, preferring to spend time on other stuff they enjoy. Alas, the children are growing up. I will of course endeavour to record any other special creations here on this blog - mainly for them to look back on one day, much further down the line. In the meantime, Happy New Year!

Musings of a 9YO
Fia: Esme, what will Father Christmas put inside our stockings?
Esme: Usually whatever you've asked for, plus loads of stuff from Tiger.
Note to self: Think I may need to redress the balance here.

Bullied at five - a poem for #Antibullyingweek
Time to revisit this poem, which no matter how many times I read it, brings a tear to my eye.
Esme is now nine years of age, and the events that led to my writing this poem about her situation happened four years ago, when, as a summer baby, she'd just turned five and moved into year one.
Back then, she clearly could not comprehend what was happening to her and taking a hold. Sadly, communication often goes out the window in this scenario. You see, it doesn't make any sense that others are unkind, when they have only ever known the opposite.
Fortunately for both of us, she has since learnt to be a fabulous communicator. I cannot tell you how different things are for her. She is a confident happy child. I could never have seen how she would progress at the time I wrote this.
If you have a child that is suddenly not themselves, talk to them, look out for any tell-tale signs... remembering that little ones can be also be affected by bullying.

Despicable Me 3 - a review by Esme
When Mum said she had this on DVD, both me and Fia were pleased. We went to see it at the cinema when it came out and loved it, so it was good to get to see it again! And it's as funny as I remember.

You can't go wrong with some good old fashioned colouring, especially when there is an important message attached. #lestweforget

Looking at science this week, here is a play dough Rudolph reindeer Esme designed, complete with lit up nose thanks to it's wired circuit. Cool huh?!
