My twin daughters are 6 ( going on 16) and in grade 1, I let them have afternoon tea in front of the tv, ( usually 1/2 hr) then tv off, on nice days we they go outside (trampoline, swings hula hoops, cubby house) BUT we also have activites, wednesday Is little readers club at the public library, thursdays is swimming, saturday is ballet.

They too are into bratz and barbie, and do a lot of playing with the dolls, and the loooove craft sets, if not cooking is another great activity, rum balls etc, play dough is still a favourite.

Makeup and hair things, ( either to me or each other) Now I know I have it a bit easier, coz they have each other to play with, but yes their attitude stinks a lot of the time, ( Mrs D ) says ....... Mum you shouldnt...... Dont tell me what to do.....
