Isla is learning all about inventions this terms and I am (probably naively) looking forward to being parent help on her first school trip to MOTAT next week.
This morning while working to school we were talking about inventions. We talked about things like cars, rocket ships, ovens. Then I said "Did you know, it is actually some people's job to invent toys. How fun would that be?". To which I received the scathing reply "Not people mum, the elves invent the toys". Just when you think they are so grown up, you get a lovely reminder that the innocence is very much present.
Also on the topic of inventions - this morning we made pikelets to take to visit Nana and Grandad at work (currently a building site - very exciting) for morning tea. Lachy: "Mum what are pikelets?". Me "kind of like small pancakes". "Mum, can I have a panglet?" Isla used to call them pan pies - I love the words that kiddos invent.
Oh so adorable! The Elves and the Panglets :) Hope school is going great! x
