Jan 09 Summer sun, peachy bums and... toddler tantrums..

[120]

New thread here...

LOL, right get it now! OK feel better now

Tea - you taking kids i assume if looking at butlins? What about somewhere like Bosinver about £400 for a week in term time and often have cancellations in hold cheap too. Do you drive? If not won't be so good. Others I know of in Wales similar too if interested.

Leonard, so sorry about your friends' ds. Such sad news.

Calm down Tea. The comment was nothing to do with you, it was to do with someone she knows in rl (real life). Hope that puts your mind at rest.

Sorry, I have no clue about holidays and costs etc as we always go to my Dad's old house in Ireland every year.

Oops, too slow. Dh distracted me mid post.

Can I have one of your cakes Moose to calm me?

Deidre your link didn't work. Be nice to stay near MissJ, she said my DD could fuss over the horses if we were nearby.

Have two - they need eating up.

That is horrid about your friends DS Deidre, far more important than my fussing about holiday. Really awful stuff

Was being sick lots and couldn't walk without falling.

Will link again in morning Tea, posting from phone so bound to get it wrong with predictive text.

I looked at Sept so the kids could go on beach without freezing. But Oct would work if they didn't want to go on beach.

Near Watford, Herts Quite a drive to a beach from her

Isabella keeps asking when we can go to one. Haven't been since last June 2009.

poor little one. really hope he responds well to the treatment.

toddlerdom really underway here: much screaming at the closing of doors, removal of dangerous objects, and impertinent items of furniture which impede her speeding toy buggy... hilarious, if a little loud. she does keep whacking herslf off stuff though, she has a bruised chin, cheek and eye and she hits her head about ten times a day. does everybody else have this? she has only been walking for about three weeks, i guess - it gets better, right?

tea, no useful advice, but hope you find somewhere good

also, books, that's probably dp in the photo, statistically mre likely as i did a fair bit of shirking of the baby carrier... the peak district really is gorgeous.

and hkz, woohoo for the good scan

My DS is always knocking himself, falling over etc and he's been walking since New Year.

Hi Stripey.

Dd is currently sporting a lovely bruise on each side of her forehead, as she refuses to learn that if you run through the curtains there is a wall on the other side. Its a bit like watching Homer Simpson sometimes Doh! Doh! Doh!

She also likes to sit in her wooden truck/walker thingy and then tip the whole thing over backwards. She has to do it at least three times every day.

Summer Fayre at the boys's school tomorrow. Am dreading hobbling around the field in dh's crocs with my walking stick.

better keep the arnica stocked up then. i think i find it much more disturbing than she does, really, scared she's actually going to hurt herself

Oh yes, we get through tubes of arnica cream, what with dd and ds2 around. Mind you - I'm not really one to talk at the moment really am I!

Me too Stripey. Spend a lot of time worrying, even though he's my second child.

hi moose. any chance you find a way of sitting through it? (what is summer fayre? is it like a cake sale kind of thing?)
