Good luck Arlo! DD is starting on Wednesday, after months of saying she doesn't want to go she is really excited today which is such a massive relief. Just hope the excitement lasts another couple of days!
Fab news about the spotting Dog but horrid about your friend, hope she is better quickly and getting some R&R with baby on the postnatal ward.
My sister has one of those tents HKZ and I'm minding her DS and my two at hers tomorrow so will give you a review tomorrow night! Looks fun, but they are so blinking fickle aren't they the most played with toy ever in our house is a set of plastic stacking cups, followed closely by this which is the most noisy, irritating, space sapping toy and I would never have chosen it myself but gets constant use by both DCs, they love it. It is a grown up jumperoo.
That baby walker is simply gorgeous Moose, I love love love Janod toys, we bought DD some things from Germany when we went to the Christmas markets in Munich when she was 1. She still plays with them now and they look like new.
Hope tonight goes well MissJ - am getting goosebumps for you.
I wish we could come to Z's party Pat! I wish you could come to DS's! I've done food shop on tesco but still no chance of them getting to us (had no post or any other deliveries for nearly 3 weeks now as road still rubbish and not gritted ) so having it delivered to PILs. Do you think they'll make the butties for me as well as waiting in for my shop? Cheeky
We are having a total nightmare with DS's sleep atm, anyone else having trouble? He has gone from sleeping through a few weeks ago (albeit for about a month at most) to waking 2+ times a night and is taking up to 3 hours to get back down as he won't let us leave the room/let go of his hand/put him down without a major struggle. What has happened to my baby? I would put it down to separation anxiety but he seems okay in the day. My newphew is doing the exact same thing so I'm thinking it might be developmental - who's got wonder weeks handy?? I've tried co-sleeping, which works fine after about 5am, but before he just plays and pulls my hair and drives me batty - we co-lie-down rather than sleep. He's also having a bit of a nursing strike, only in the evening, but think that might be period related
Yay to scrooge emoticon Tree - although think they better get those down tomorrow else MN will have bad luck all year
Wow Moose - you should be a party planner, so much thought! My partybags are friendship bracelets that I made when DD had flu (DD sharing DS's party! Handy having two DCs 10 days apart!) for the girls and cake. Boys have cake and 'treasure' which is fools gold in little pirate cloth bags I've made. We're having a Pirates and Princesses theme which is far too gender stereotyped for my liking but DD decided and I couldn't talk her round. Anyone have any ideas for 3 year old suitable party games? So far I have bubble machine and balloons to play with while they arrive, DD's play tent and tunnel for the littlies, am going to do a treasure hunt with gold coins hidden in balloons, hokey cokey, probably cause mayhem with pass the parcel(a fight broke out at playgroup Christmas party!) and thought I might attempt musical bumps is that enough with food to fill 2 hours? Considered pinata, not sure if we would get to a shop to get one now though. Also considered pin the tail on the donkey?
Oh CBB started, best go! Apologies for any x-posts, took about an hour to type that!
