Hello again!!
Have had to consider that my new baby could potentially only be 2 days old on DD's 2nd birthday, if baby is 2 weeks late (let's hope not!!). Either way, we are not planning much, luckily she is still too young to really understand that her birthday party will be a relatively low key affair. We normally just have DH's (local) family all over for buffet type tea and pressies. Sounds harmless, but that's 8 adults and 8 kids aged between 1 and 14, hmmmm, just what I need when I have just given birth!!!! I have told DH that it would be preferable if they just came over in smaller groups (i.e. seperate families) to see DD, give her her pressie and have some birthday cake, I think that's reasonable don't you???
We have got her a play/pretend kitchen area from the TESCO direct website. I have seen the TEFAL ones, which I think are about £60??? Anyway, my neice has one, and lovely though it is, thought it was a bit big for our house, then found this one in Tesco which is smaller, but still a decent size, and was only £25. When I ordered it it was half price in the sale, so £12.50!!!!! What a bargain. If you have little ones who you think will like it, it's definitely worth a look.
My birthday is this week and we are going to take her to the zoo for the day, which she will love as she loves all things animal. It will sort of be for her birthday too, as I don't think I'll be up for much at that stage.
Talking of which, winkygirl it's good to hear James is a placid baby, and that things are going well. I am really hoping this one will be early like Sophie. I am just getting sooooo excited now!!!!!!!
Nice that this thread seems to have been kick started again, we will have to have a 'May 06 babies hit terrible two's!!' new thread soon.
