Sharing rooms and space
It's been three weeks now since we started the lockdown at home because of the coronavirus. Guess they didn't find a cure for it overnight then. So there's still no school for me, no daycare for William, no driving to work for Mum and Dad...And no separate bedrooms for William and me. We've been sharing our room for weeks now, but most of the time it's going well. It's nice to be able to have a chat as soon as we wake up, and sometimes I get to read to William before we go to bed at night (if we haven't been naughty and told off the night before).
More days at home means more time for getting creative. Today I asked Dad what he wanted me to draw and he said "pirates", so here's my drawing of a pirate on a desert island with his pirate ship floating in the sea nearby (ignore the pencil marks by the mast, I made a bit of a mistake there).
I also did this drawing of a house in the rain, and of course just about every day I draw a picture of a transformer. This is a bad guy transformer I drew for Dad (you can tell because it says "to mikeile" at the top), which transforms from a robot into a somearing (submarine).
Some people said they liked the last stories I wrote but that they were a bit scary, so this time I wrote a story about another of my favourite things: space. Here's me reading my space story about the end of the world.
What's going to happen next? When will schools go back? Will the lockdown finish before William's birthday so we can have a proper party for him? Nobody knows, but as long as I have my colouring pens, pads and paper (plus plenty of food) I'll be just fine.
Well hello again Oli. Your Dad has written you another interesting blog about what you and William have been doing while we are all stuck at home because of this beastly corona virus pandemic. Oli, we loved your drawings of the pirate on the desert island, the house in the rain, and your transformer which transformed into a submarine! Grandad didn’t think the pirate would be very happy because the island was too small to bury his treasure!
ReplyDeleteYou wrote another amazing story, and this time Grandma didn’t find it at all scary. I think you are going to be a champion story writer just like your Dad. Well done!!
We hear that William is enjoying the mat time stories and songs each day, and I believe you, Oli, have a sneak look at them too - probably instead of doing your school work. I hope your “new teacher Mrs Hartland” doesn’t mind that.
We hope this jolly virus soon disappears so we can see you all again and enjoy cuddles, (and tickles, Grandad says!!) Until the next time we send you all much love and hugs,
Grandma and Grandad xxxxoooo
