Roryworld

Reading what is possibly the most absurdly right-on parenting magazine in the world, http://www.thegreenparent.co.uk/, I came across the idea of a Treasure Basket. Here's some more on it... http://education.ex.ac.uk/music-one2one/docs/handouttreasurebaskets.pdf
(Interesting sidebar: this turned out to be an idea that our friend Ellen's mum, eminent psychologist, has been instrumental in popularising and introducing to nurseries across the land - good huh?)

So gave it a go and what do you know? Rory really digs the big basket of miscellaneous household objects (aka "crap from round the house"). He'll actually sit still and play with it for quite a bit, and that has been wonderfully good for my ability to have a shower...

Talking of the Box of Delights - I'd very much like to see it again, as we come up to Christmas... It reminds me of warm Chrimbo fuzziness and EVIL WOLVES. I wonder if there's any prospect of a repeat? Or would it be rubbish now I'm grown up? Views welcome...
