well i have an empathy doll got it given on the course i was on on sat (doll is £90)
think the parents will think i'm loopy when it comes out properly
basic it has to have its own file with its own history (my boys called ours Tommy)
when the children get into it they can have sleep overs but tommy has to have his own overnight bag with toothbrush etc
some childminders even buy car seats for theirs and sit them in the double buggy to go to toddler groups

I like the idea of one but not the practicalities! (sp?) Think they have great benefits for the kids but where would I put one? My house is already over run with toys, books, seperate towels, etc.
LOL about putting in double buggy! The gossipy mums at school would have a field day with that!!
What is tommy like? Hopefully more visually pleasing than claude...I always think he should be a child not an adult IYKWIM.

The more things I read from you all the more unsure I am about registering when I move!.
Empathy dolls! Whatever next.
DH keeps asking me if I'm going to start hugging all the mindees parents like Isa does in Me Too.
I know her name isn't Isa in the Me Too show, but i cannot remember what her name is supposed to be and she will always be Isa to me!

Aww! you little mindee sounds sweet dmo. Good freebie then! Think if I got one it would have to be house bound tho, maybe I could say it's his job to keep the cat company? Like the idea of a toddler sized one!
Saltire whenever I see her grabbing them and hugging them I cringe! Fair enough with the kids but my mindee parents would die of shock if I grabbed them for a hug!
Oh and her name is 'granny murry!'
