Any mums of 4 year olds in North Lakes area

[tanyac]

Hi All,

I live in North Lakes, (North of Brisbane) I have a son Oscar 4, and a daughter Megan 2. We moved from the UK a few months ago and are yet to make any friends. My son is really missing having other friends his own age to play with
Does anyone fancy meeting for a coffee???

hiya - I have a 4yo dd with down syndrome and a 2yo dd. We live in Petrie. I am really busy at present - sorry but we are having a brisbane mums meet up and I can point you in the direction of some playgroups if that is a help. Have you thought about trying to get Oscar into kindergarten for next year?!?!

this is the c and K website - good kindies. My 4yo attends a special needs kindy as well as a mainstream kindy.

I know there is a playgroup that meets in Kallangur/Petrie border.

I will check the calendar and get back to you with a time I can be free for coffee - sorry not available now. If you want to email me off the board - edwali at excite dot com.

welcome to Brisbane

My dh is from the UK and I lived there for 4 years before coming back here to live in Brisbane - born and bred in Brisbane.

Have you thought about getting the kids into swimming lessons. My dd2 and I attend a mother and baby swimming lesson. I can email you the school we use although there is a Shapland swim school in Kallangur that I have heard good things about too.

Is Oscar off to Prep next year?? or is he in Prep 2008 like my dd1?

sorry lots of questions.

Oh I just realised I do have a friend with two boys - one who would be a little older than Oscar and one a little younger - I can contact her and see how she is for a coffee meet up - know another one who also has two boys - might be something I can organise one morning - leave it with me.

Hi All,

Thanks for all the info!
Yes, Oscar is starting Prep in Jan 07, and he can't wait!!!
I was just looking at swimming lessons for them both the other day.
Would love to meet up later...will email.
Best Wishes,
Tanya

you can enrol your little one in kindy the year they turn 2 I think.

Where is he off to for Prep - still deciding for dd1 - thank goodness she does not go til 08.
