I've eyed off both Deadwood and Firefly - are they good? Also thinking of tracking down some real oldies that I missed like...wait for it...Northern Exposure (just cos I like Men in Trees so much LOL) and even older than that...who killed Laura Palmer... Twin Peaks!!!!!!!!! PMSL. DH has also downloaded a copy of a series called Army Wives so I'll be able to get good and maudlin when he's away. Well I'll have plenty of evenings at home to entertain myself in three weeks time. I'll have to track down "love my way" too - I remember wanting to watch it when it came on the telly but as usual DH's CSI addiction probably got in the way. Now we have a hard drive and I'm Boss of what gets recorded teeheehee.
Arte I used to read books but all I can seem to manage these days is those chick lit romantic things! Aaaah to have my brain function back.
Noni I found a couple of weeny babies but no eggs so I hope we've nipped them in the bud. Her friend was scritching earlier in the week so I thought it best to check. Hate the little suckers.
Ok, parents as teachers, it's a program they run through the Child and Family Centre (which is this huge parenting resource place right in the middle of nappy valley, fed govt funding) and they show you how to play etc with your bubba. I missed out on the group classes (what i really wanted to do) because they only run them for certain ages and E's birthday is wrong so we missed out. But DD1 had speech problems (probably because I was off the planet with PTSD and also a bit genetic from DH's side) I wanted some extra support for E (hoping to bypass all that) so they agreed to send someone out for one on one sessions for us. It's a bit embarrassing because it's supposed to be for families who need extra support but I guess with DH away and the problems I had with DD1 we must qualify. Anyway so far there's been a lot about baby proofing (haha she must've taken one look at my messy house and thought we needed to do more) and also some age appropriate things like mirror play, naming body parts, and encouraging her to cruise by putting toys along the lounge, stuff like that. Good for this age too is putting something on the floor when they are standing so they practise getting down to pick things up, and giving them a second thing to hold when they have one thing already (teaching them to hold two things and bang them together, etc). I didn't find a shiny bowl when we were out yesterday but she loved it so much I'll keep looking.
