Lisa, good luck with your application. Looking forward to the meditations - but not rush!

Sal, I was just thinking about you this morning as I got Clarrie out of his hammock and wondering if Miles had graduated up to a cot/bed. I'll be interested to hear how he adapts. It would be strange not being able to bounce him to sleep! Glad to hear that the hair has stopped falling out. Let me know what you think of the Ergo, too!

Laura, I've been checking out the Montessori sites more and it all sounds so fantastic. Do you know much about Steiner schools? I was wondering what the main difference was between the 2. I will have to check out their websites as well.

Montessori teacher training will be a few years part-time after my education degree! I'll see how I go with this first one - and yes, I have decided to apply to do primary school teaching next year.

We're having fun at the moment trying to decide on what colour floor covering for our main room. We're going for Marmoleum which is a lino with fairly good environmental properties and the colours/designs are fantastic. Of course you look at ones that are great but it would never go in our house...

ciao for now, Julie
