Orion

Orion is the sort of kid who hates sitting down to learn but soaks the world up like a little sponge so we do a lot of learning as we go about our lives.

He is three and a half and has reached the “Why?” stage, and I make a concerted effort to answer his questions fully and honestly. For example, we were out in our friend’s car a couple of weeks ago and Orion piped up “Mummy, iss rainin’ outside! Why?” So I explained the water cycle to him in as basic a way as I could. He was thrilled and asked me to tell him again, paying rapt attention as I explained about condensation and precipitation.

He also has around 250 books, so many that I have opened him his own account on LibraryThing so I can keep tabs on them all! Reading books is a solid part of our night time routine; the last thing we do before he goes to sleep is to read a book. He has a massive toy wooden kitchen bought for him for his birthday, and the cupboard, fridge and oven parts of it are all being used as book cupboards, and it is quite usual for him to demand that I stop whatever it is I am doing to read a book with him. And I can’t really say no to that, can I?
