Fort Isolation
My mum made a fort under the dinner table. I used my phone to watch movies in there with my brother. It had the bed sheets and a pillow inside. My mum put in 2 jars full of fairy lights that looked beautiful, expect for one that was almost dead.
My mum printed off a lock down diary that I have been coloring and filling in. My favorite page is where I draw what I had for dinner.
We have been going on lots of family walks to get out of the house. We play games while we are walking. My top pick is the game where we choose a topic and we each take a turn naming something that starts with a letter of the alphabet aka 'the alphabet game'. People have been putting teddy bears in their window and my brother and I have been looking for them. My mum and I went on a walk just us, and she made a game where I would get play money for certain things that I spot. One of them was to spot a person wearing a mask, which we saw lots of when we walked past the supermarket! The line was very long as well.
Mum and Adam's goal over the lock down period was to teach me about time. It was very hard at the start but I am starting to get all the questions right now. Mum will ask me during the day "what's the time?" and I have to say if it is closest to quarter past, quarter to, half past or o'clock.
I like spending time at home and annoying my brother. I play video games, watch movies, play with lego and do baking with mum. Yesterday mum, Adam and I played Cludo. Mum always wins.
On Sunday it was Easter. My brother and I got a kinder chocolate bunny each and mum made a carrot cake. It had walnuts in it and she made tiny carrots to decorate it with. We colored a Easter egg that Jacinta Arden told kids in New Zealand to all color in and put in their windows like the teddy bears. We didn't put our ones in the windows because we don't live on a street where lots of people walk.
My feelings:
It's not really that different except I'm not going to school. I am not scared because I am safe at home with my family. Its a little boring not being able to go on the playground or go out to the beach or far away from home but mum and Adam say that it will all be over before I know it.
