Bertie they won't check ID (under 16s don't have any compulsory ID anyway so, unlike an adult, can'T be expected to produce it) . They just wouldn't let you in with an obviously vastly younger child. My only just 6 year old saw a couple of 6 rated films while he was 5 - he is as tall as his sister, who is 2 years older, and they greatly enjoyed concocting a story about being twins for when they were asked their ages, and were most disappointed that the cinema staff barely glanced at him :o
Spooky hope you got a snow suit - you do need it, esp for sledging etc. - otherwise you are very time limited with staying outside once it gets really cold as she won't be warm enough for more than half an hour or an hour max without the proper clothes. Aldi is good though - I bought my older 2 all their new snow stuff in Aldi this year (my smallest is fully equiped with his big brother's cast offs :) ). I got the very last 2 size 128 snow jackets in Aldi, and it was only 11am on the day they got them in! :o but then they got more in later in the week and there were a lot of returns, so I was able to exchange the blue coat that turned out to have a pink zip for a neon green one DS1 will actually wear :o :)
Nutella congratulations!
hupa the dog is a bit better - and getting fatter, which I think helps :o Aldi dry food seems to agree with her much better than the expensive brand of tinned food we were instructed to feed her (which is handy) and as long as that's absolutely the only thing she eats her stomach issues are almost resolved - if she gets hold of anything else we're back to square 1 for 24 hours though. She still barks a lot, but its better than it was on balance.
petite my older son wears white soled trainers instead of the ballet slipper style gym shoes for KiGa sport. When he was 3 he accepted the gym shoes (if you search you can get dark blue with diggers on, as well as black and white :) ) and most of the boys at KiGa do wear those (they're cheaper than yet another pair of trainers anyway) but by last year he was much more self aware and had very strong opinions on clothing of all kinds, and he'd have walked bare foot on nails before wearing ballet shoes - so we have cheapo supermarket white soled trainers (7.99 I think). Aldi sells them sometimes, ours are from Kaufland, who always have them (the closest thing to a big Tesco type supermarket I've found here, but our nearest one is quite a drive, and they may not be Germany wide). He has so many pairs of trainers, as he also needs indoor trainers for football training, "strong" shoes for KiGa forest days (regular trainers and wellies not acceptable), trainers for every day wear, wellies, snow boots, outdoor football boots, even before taking into account summer footwear... I need to replace 6 or 7 pairs of shoes every time he goes up a size :(
