afternoon all and what a lovely sunny one it is here!
gauchita, I don't know how our los can eat so much crap, E doesn't gag, unlike he did with his veggies when little he quite likes the soil! We had rain early on yesterday but the afternoon was beautiful, good job really as ds1 had his St Georges parade with the cubs, he plays the cymbals in the band. Quite funny really, dh asked him how he knew when to bash them together and he said, when the big drum goes bang. So dh asked, what if the big drum goes bing, he said, oh I still do it then went totally over his head!
snow, oooo congratulations to your friend Tbh I don't get all the refusing tests, although I wouldn't ever want to see anyones rights taken away not to, everyones different and all that. But I do sometimes think that a few people think that the worst that can happen is getting a child who has down syndrome when really that is just the tip of the iceburg, seems to me that all anyone ever talks about is downs. So much isn't detectable of course, like dd3, we had no idea but I still had all the basic tests that were offered for E, theres no guarantees either way. I think there needs to be a lot more education on the antenatal tests and the implications from the results. Did you manage to find out how the antenatal care works where you are, I think it varies quite a lot.
MrsMcJnr, I think that's a good approach, tackle one thing at a time. We got rid of the dummies at christmas as that's when the dummy fairy comes and you get extra pressies if you leave them out for her Fingers crossed for the nursery place, hope the trawl through the paperwork was worth it! How did A sleep in the end last night, she was one busy girl
june, sympathies on the il front. I currently have the opposite problem with mine. Dh asked mil if she wanted to come and watch ds1 in his parade with us but apparently her sunday afternoons are precious. She's retired, does bugger all all week, she sleeps on sofa, fil is upstairs on his computer, we only ask once in a blue moon. They won't come here either, unless it's one of the dcs birthdays and even then not always, they live a 5/10 minute drive away, we make sure we go round every week. And to top it off they sit there and moan that they never see anyone We're all loving this weather
strawberry, sounds manic but pleased all is well Lol at Ls first word and her choice of when to use it
choccie, I'm using dd3s umbrella fold buggy for E some of the time, so much easier on the back
I have my worries about ds1 They had the police in school last week doing their bit against knife crime and going on about how they shouldn't have knives, shouldn't carry knives, shouldn't touch them. Typical ds1, when they asked if anyone had any questions at the end, he asked if he was allowed a knife to eat his dinner you know the expression, there's always one, well why does that one always have to be one of mine?!
we picked up our new car on saturday! The old big car was on it's way out so we thought we'd better replace it before it died completely. So we have a lovely shiney new (for us) big car, so won't have to name change
waves to all
