Text Me A Story, Libby
This morning, instead of shouting a story and because Libby isn't taking me out, I texted her a story I made up, named 'I.B.F.Fs: The Call Of Atlantis'. In this story, Luke, Resus, Cleo, Dig, Lulu and I hear a voice telling us that Atlantis needs us, and this leads us on a voyage of discovery which urges us to follow our instincts. It's now my traditions to tell made-up stories to my support workers and write about them in my living room imagination journal, and then copy that into my Dumbo one. One of my stories is one I'll tell to Sally, and it is one about her son Reece and his favourite Paw Patrol character Chase going camping together. By the way, does my story remind you of anything...?
Bedtime Just Got More Hallucogenic
Watch out, CBeebies viewers, you won't believe the shocking news I'm going to tell you...in place of Charlie & Lola, CBeebies' trippy show Colours will air! Not only does the show not make any sense, but it also features hallucinogenic live-action footage that no one would want to see, not even Tee screaming his lungs out or a rainbow with a pompous voice talking to a little girl and her duck companion who live in a fever dream. It would be much better if Colours contained breathing exercises to join in with at home, but since this show is narrated by a black person, it's nice of them to let people of other races star in or narrate children's shows.
You can make a change. Pledge to not watch CBeebies Bedtime every weekend, and instead, if you have Disney+, watch the calming original series Zenimation and Star Wars Galaxy Of Sounds. It has everything: teddy bears, mermaids, princesses, lions, space battles, people choking to death, robots hitting each other...all set to soothing ambient sounds. Your kids will love it! And if you don't have Disney+, watch CBeebies Daydreams on iPlayer instead. It's a soothing stand-in for Colours, as both shows are remarkably similar. Happy changing!
I.B.F.Fs: Sick Day - Mini Activity
I.B.F.Fs Bonus Bits - Sick Day
In my Scream Street Joke Book, there's a joke about ghosts with colds, as part of a section about monsters with ailments. The real question is: how do Luke, Resus and Cleo spend a sick day off school? I have spent many sick days off school before, and now I get to share in this peaceful, restful kind of day with my siblings. We take our sick days quite easily around here, with tissues, strawberry-flavoured medicine and ice cream!
