Em - Ooh Justine Clarke - I find her kind of irritating! But then Autie seems most impressed with Nathan from Hi-5 and he gives me the irrits as well - maybe I'm just jaded from all the years of children's tv at work LOL
I have the Invisible Glove actually - bought it years ago at a flea market but never tried it on Autie. Then my SIL sent me a tube just today - freaky.
Isn't it great when they're happy to play on their own for ages? Autie is getting so confident. We went to church the other day and she was playing happily around my feet, then went down to the end of the seat, turned and waved at me and took off down the aisle. Mum and I just looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud. She was on a mission so I let her go to see what she'd do. then a Japanese lady a few rows down rushed to grab her and took her back to sit on her lap letting her play with her wallet and giving her big hugs. Autie just accepted it and started pointing things out to her
The bike with the handle is a great idea - I think we'll get one for Autie eventually but probably not til Christmas. I love having her birthday half way through the year - much easier to keep up with developmental stages. My niece and nephew are both within a 4 weeks of Christmas so it's an expensive time present wise!

Uh oh, think I hear stirring... she is restless tonight. Better go.
