[codswallop]

Mine is the blinking fisher Price garage

remote control duck from elc. dp plays with it more than the kids. big kid that he is

sounds good actch!

Dressing up stuff only comes out when there are friends round, more fun with company of course. Then ordinary clothes, worn and unworn, and dressing up stuff end up all in one big heap.
We have one little visitor whio loves the soft toys which are largely ignored by mine, so he gets them all (and I mean all) down and we have a sea of fur.

My dsss are like a herd(?) of labradors at my sisters digging through her stuff. Poor girl
Her dh had to epty the drain of gravel after one trip..

Years ago when ds1 was three he had a friend round, I came upstairs to find they were going through my clothes and the friend had a bra on over his tshirt. A charming sight, it was a partic. attractive zippy nursing bra. They are still best friends (11 and 12 now) but I have managed to refrain from telling them about it. Maybe when they are about 15.

soyabean make sure their girlfriends are there when you tell them heehee

wedding speech?

Yep, I'm saving it for that perfect moment. If only I had taken a photo.

also puzzles - why do they have to get them out!!

Micromachines and toy soldiers are a current favourite with my youngest: paianful to step on in the dark with bare feet

We went to a first Birthday party yesterday, my DS's 4.9yo played for hours with the little boys activity centre and shape sorter.
Bigger children who come round our house, always love playing with DS's, Happy Street & Tracks from ELC, but my DS's play with it nearly every day as well !!!
