You learn something new every day. Today I learnt...

[eidsvold]

that Eva Longoria ( of Desperate Housewives fame) has an older sister who has DOwn Syndrome.

that ds1 (5) goes for walks around the playground with the school head to keep him company

dont think ive learnt anything new yet this morning... sorry!

Why my son shreiks in his cot at about 8.30/45 am with glee, jumping up and down most mornings.

It's the time an airplane can be seen in the distance on a clear day.

That my DS(4.5) is proper poorly he is refusing grapes and tuc biscuits, his favourite.

That dd2 (chicken pox) can sprout 5 new spots on her face in the time it takes me to make her breakfast

That men don't notice things like their son has someone elses shoes on, and not the new pair you have just bought him.....

hannahs aunt - that made me giggle... as did the shoes one - men can be silly like that - mine did not realise he had dressed dd1 and put her undies on back to front and was trying to put her trainers on the wrong feet.

My dog can't get through the cat flap even when she's managed to get the plastic surround off.

Knickers are nothing my dh put ds cloth nappy on back to frount and the wrap inside out and back to front. Has also put his dungerees on backwards - still sure they do it so badly that they get out of ever doing a job again. Why do dads always go for jumble sale chic when chosing kids clothes to wear (I sure he must go into the loft to find some of the clothes)

Sorry hijack and rant over!
