Dani - Sorry to hear you haven't been well. Poor little Oscar and his mum and dad. Hope you all come good in time for his birthday. A table and chairs is a great idea, I'd like to get Autie some too. We don't really have a place for her to start experimenting with art and puzzles etc.

The party in the park went really well though Autie wasn't too sure about all the 'strangers' who were paying her so much attention LOL She got heaps of pressies: a sandpit, LOADS of books and clothes, a Wiggles drum that she uses to climb onto the coffee table a shape sorter, DVDs (Hi-5 and Playschool), a photo album made like a cloth book so it's Autie proof (she loves looking at photos of people she knows so that was a great one) a fairy dress, cot set, flat unicorn pillow thing, a doll with zippers/buttons/velcro etc, some stubby crayons for little hands. Not a heap of trashy toys which is good. We're both stoked with all the books especially.
She got a huge sugar rush off the cupcake and was a nightmare to put to sleep in the afternoon, buzzing all around the cot making weird noises. All up, it was a positive day though. Everyone loved the park as the playground is massive with lots of funky play equipment, and the guys all played cricket and footy on the oval with the older kids so no-one got bored.
I have taken down all Autie's photos from our gallery but I will put a few of her party up if anyone is interested.
Hope everyone else had a happy weekend!
