my twins were born mid January. They wouldn't get playdough and apples mixed up - unless they did it deliberately just to see what it was like .

Mine are currently very interested in wearing pants but have no idea what is actually entails.

mandyc66 · 20/06/2005 12:47

mmm pants nice idea!!!! He likes pants and thinks pants = playschool!!! But potty or toilet he hates the idea!!!! He decided to wear pants the other day but was put off when he did a hot wee!!!!!!! It will happen eventually. No he didnt get them mixed up at all.Food is too important!!!

My Ds was due on 25/12/02 but I had him on the 6/12/02.

He is just demolishing a marmite sandwhich and watching hi5.

Am going to try and get him to have a nap in a mo, but he seems to be trying to drop it lately.

My ds will be starting at the college nursery for one day a week in september and then another 2 days a week at pre school in january.

MY DS was born on the 10th December 2002 and he is currently sat on the sofa covered in mud as they have been leaning about gardening at nursery... He does look funny

mandyc66 · 20/06/2005 13:00

never given mine marmite..is that because I dont like it!!!! He has taken himself off now for a nap!!!!! Thats him till the school run!!! I love listening to and watching them. i love it as they add words etc!!

mine have just decided they don't need to bother going to sllep at night - previously they were asleep by 7.30 - now we are lucky if it is 9.30 and I am wearing a track in the carpet on the stairs !

Mine have been going to playgroup 1 morning a week since Feb (our local one starts at age 2 as long as you go with them) - they love it but are exhausted after 2.5 hours.

mandyc66 · 20/06/2005 13:02

little cuties arnt they! He says 'yes of course' to everything!!! Trouble is I have 3 bigger ones who delight in getting him to say stuff. He has learned after a few visits to the bottom step that its not a good idea!!!!

mandyc66 · 20/06/2005 13:03

YES!!! My dd was born 24/12/02 ... just over a week late.

She's so much fun at the moment - love this age!

What do you do for birthdays etc? REally want to give her a birthday party all her friends can go to but would people go on Christmas Eve, or should we do it the week before? Would love to make it a beach theme complete with sand, hula skirts and fruity cocktails - anything as long as it isn't Christmassy!!! My SIL shares the same birthday and she always had a half birthday in June ... but then does that mean you don't really celebrate their real birthday? So many things to think about!!

Lonelymum · 20/06/2005 13:20

My youngest was born in february 2003, so maybe a bit younger than you were looking for, but he too starts pre school in September. He hasn't got a clue he is going there though! He is upstairs asleep at the moment.

mandyc66 · 20/06/2005 13:42

lonely mum : anyone can join in!!! So what is he up to..apart from sleeping!!!

wishingchair: We were toying withcelebrating his birthday either nov or jan...well having parties then anyway!!!

Thanks Mandy. I think the word tantrums best describes ds3's behaviour right now. Oh that and not eating anything (for about the last year!) He is my fourth child and this is the first time I have had to deal with full-blown temper tantrums!

mandyc66 · 21/06/2005 11:46

Mine was born on 20th December 2002. The same birthday as his grandmother (my MIL). She has been waiting a long time for a grandchild as my sisters in law have never had any luck with pregnancies. James arrived on her 66th birthday and they are inseperable when together.

mandyc66 · 21/06/2005 18:57

oh that is nice for her! my ds4 is my mums 10th grandchild!!!! She is expecting her first great grandchild in November!!!! Which is lovely apart from the fact it will make me a great aunt!!!!!
