24 DAYS TO GO YIPPEE YIPPEE YIPPEE!!! [GRIN][GRIN][GRIN]

Happy December everyone!

No true. We'll see.

Nappy I have bought a few liners off that lady. She makes lovely ones . I have Postman Pat and Bob for DS2's major. They are realy nice.

DS2 is in Reception at MS and has full 1:1. He was 4 in August, so is the baby of the class. I wanted to defer him for a year, but his EP said it woul make no difference. Our LA, you can defer for a year, and they don't go into year 1 but Reception, if that makes sense.

DS1 was 3yrs 4 months when he started nursery that was attached to his school, and he was one of the first to be made full time (they only have a few spaces) and is in all top sets for his learning. I honestly don't know why there is such a big stigma about younger children starting school as clearlyit didn't do DS1 any harm being one of the youngest. But I suppose it depends on the child as well.

I think 5in i still see luka as my 'baby' thats why. His speech is delayed, he's very shy, i want him with me i suppose, but i can't can i, i've got to let go

i feel really tearful just thinking about Tate starting and its still another 9m away. i didn't feel like this about Tom at all. V.strange!!!

Do you maybe think its because Tom seemed more grown up than the younger two at their age? I know I feel DS1 is older than he is.

You've got ages left with Luka as well, stop fretting

I know what you mean Nicola - I just don't feel like that, maybe it is the only thing? hence you not being too worried with Tom? I worry about James and his speech, but also know that he will thrive in a setting like that and really needs it. He loves to be doing. Today he went into the kitchen, pushed a chair over climbed up to get the bread, got a plate out and put 2 slices on. Looked in the drawer for a knife (they were all on the drainer though) shrugged and climbed down with his bread and went and ate it. See, he doesn't need me anyway sob sob.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR BLOODY MEN!!!!!!!! That's all I have to say! Hmph! There, feel better now.

whats happened maxy?

Luka going to nursery has done wonders for his speech. We dropped tate off today and luka said to the teacher 'not my turn now, tates turn now' thats a long sentence for a boy who would only say mama dada a couple months ago. he's coming on so fast. his understanding too. i said owww earlier as he sat on my leg and he said im sorry mummy i will kiss you now!! v.cute.

I don't know about the only child thing tho. Tom was an only child for six years. i think the worrying comes with age!! i was only 23 when i had tom, i was much more care free, and very much still had my own life, busy career etc. i was much more independent of tom and less mummyfied if that makes sense? maybe as i was a single parent and proving myself doing it all?

Evening all, busy on here

One more day at work then none for the next nine months

evening everyone, sorry not had time to catch up just to say my computer blew on sunday night and need a new one. oh and my tumble dryer oh and my hoover. Not all on the sunday but within a few days. I am visiting my mum as i have tonns of christmashopping to do online and do those photo calanders but all my photos stored on old computer. I must dash now but hope everyone is well and if not getting better. Maxy sorry about the not replying i have sent a message now xx

I'm no spring chicken!! I am just chilled I think I don't get the oh where has my baby gone thing. I'm not really into babies My sister is so mamby pamby with hers that I think I make an effort to be over harsh I'm not worried about him going to school, am thinking about geting a special countdown calender don't get me wrong, I am not wishing his life away, just the more he can do for hmself the better I say!! I am mean, that's all.I will be the one cheering at the gate, not getting a tissue out shall we say! I love him to pieces though.

I hope it does bring his speech on, his understanding is fabulous, already knows far too much. Little.........darling.

I think I am extra harsh tonight as boring it has been a bloody nightmare. DS has been a true toddler in every sense and Dh well. No bless him. It is just a long boring stories involving cars and time and not checking things properly! i love him to pieces too

sorry for all the sp's and don't know where the extra boring came from either

maxy...soon be xmas eh?!!

thanks that cheered me up, you made me properly laugh

Anyone got any Teletubbies (or Teddybuddies as Tom says) bits for sale?

awww glad im good for something hunnie!!

I dislike blokes in general MAxy, they have the same affect on me.

Bexie, I was lucky enough to bypass the tubbies in this house. Now if it was ITFNG .......

Hehe, well I LOVED watching Teletubbies when it was first on (and when I was at college). I got the seude type figures which I kept in case I had kids and Toms obsessed with the DVD I bought from Nicola. Have got him the xmas one, but was after a few more bits. Tom doesn't like ITNG as much as he did, prefers Waybuloo and Teletubbies. Want a pack of Waybuloo figures but they don't do any yet!

good morning all

hope your all well havent read back yet.

Does anyone know if it costs more to send to dublin than standard uk delivery?

Yeah I think it does Sal, you'll need to ask at the P.O I doubt very much you could just pop it in the post with a normal stamp.

Morning all - lots of talk about sch - I can't even think of Luka and sch - seems like a long time in the future. Still getting my head round Frida being in reception. She is thriving and so independent - always has been, when she was little we would go to todler groups and she would be off - just coming back if she needed something, never one to sit on my knee - I used to miss it when all the other kids were being shy - she was always so forward and confident - much more than when I was her age.

Dp and I are having a talk this morning after drop offs - he is taking the day off and I am still off sick

Thanks for all your best wishes and hugs

Hope everythings ok Janx thinking of you....

Sal what you sending? is it RM or courier?

Dp just got back...and now the sch has rang saying Frida isn't well.....this chat is never going to happen

oh bless, hopefully you can settle her down with a dvd and still get an hour together?

we are doing our xmas tree, can we have piccies of trees up?

Bexie I have a slightly scruffy LaLa soft toy you could have ffp. I know my offers are sooo tempting aren't they.

Oh no Jan, you're not getting out the bit there.
Hope you all feel better soon.
