Oh what a lovely post Emma ... geez never thought someone i met once could make me feel so much better with such kind words !!! ... And i kinda feel awful as i realised my words came out wrong (was having the repercussions of my brain working from the Wed incident, LOL) as i noticed my mentioning I don't go to playgroup to make friends, augh that must have sounded so terrible to you (??) ... what i meant to say with my normal brain working, LOL is that i go to playgroup not with the main intention of finding friends ... oh, feel better i got that out right now but what a bonus if we do as at Cendrine's 3rd birthday party i looked around and suddenly realised i had more adults there whom i had met at playgroups & other activities with her over time here in Ballarat ... & basically through having had Cendrine i may not have been fortunate to have met them here. So, in having said that Emma you will certainly have lots to look forward in meeting new people coming into your life just as i have over the past 3 years of Cendrine's life. But i'm guessing you would know that as you are very approachable & are clearly very friendly which makes for many to be drawn to you & it also helps to have a such a cute bubba like Eliza ... I laugh now when i think of it as Cendrine had severe colic for first 5mths months & all she would do is scream ... Um, i didn't look approachable with screaming bub so lived like a hermit for those months BUT i sure made up for after


By the way, that sounds great with the other playgroup with bubs about the same age as Eliza. I did something similar at the same age with Cendrine, we went one activity with children similar age & another where children were older. She loved both, it was just as long as there were toys & people were about she was simply happy. I've been told the baby/toddler gyms at Aquatic Centre is great ... I emailed them ages ago & they sent me info on costs, etc ... they were very helpful

Must go, gee you will think i'm gonna send a post this long everytime ... I won't be at playgroup next week as i'm trying out MOPS, just the timing as a friend has been asking me to try it as she goes ... if i like it i might go to the Wed playgroup once a fortnight ... So, Emma you take super care & will see you at playgroup week after if your there or sometime after that !!! ... Cheers for now xox

P.S - Found a new good hairdresser yesterday whom works from her home just around the corner from my house she even let me have Cendrine there what a bonus, she even had toys & popped on a dvd for her (& even made her a sanger, how nice) ... so my week turned out pretty great after all, LOL ;-)
