I am watching a friends youngest so her other kids and DH can visit her and the new baby in hospital <waves to tots2ten>
Don't get me wrong, I offeredand am happy to do it, but it means I have 4 children aged just over 1, 2, 2.5 and 3.5 in here.
The youngest is t2t's DS and he is toddling around quite happily after the girls, who are being a bit too overexcited, so I ahve put the telly on so that they calm down and stop fighting over the lego!

And I am being really good by MNing as well aren't I! (I am on the sofa 2m away from them all)

YANBU - I don't know how anyone coped before the advent of Cbeebies!

Oh goodgrin
I have eden on now as there was something I wanted to watch. I opened up a cardboard box earlier and leaned it up by the toys so DD1 and t2t's DD are in the 'house' playing doctors (there is a sick dinosaur that apparently needs biscuitshmm) My DD2 is playing lego and t2t's DS is taking a stuffed parrot for a walk!

Sounds like lots of fun! Hope you have feet up with large glass of wine now

It actually was! I turned telly off as I couldn't hear and put Kids radio on and we played musical bumps, which was hysterical as DD2 doesn't quite get it.
They just amused each other without trying to kill each other, which is what my 2 normally do!
I think that first post was me panicking as the eldest had got a bit overexcited at being able to play together and were running around screechinghmm
