MP - don't think you will need swim nappies unless Noah has a wetsuit! The water is still freezing down here and I don't think we're expecting anything really warm over the next week. Hope J has a better sleep tonight.
Fence - we could fence the yard, however it would be a bit tricky as there is quite a slope on one side, which of course is the side that we would need a big gate on as DH would want to be able to get vehicles into the back yard in future. Would make our lives easier though.....
Ginger - glad you get your girls night out, enjoy yourself!!
Yeah Cally I was wondering about that - thougth the water would be too cold. I guess I will bring 1 or 2 swim nappies down in case - but i think the most we will manage is a paddle and a look in the rock pools! I will text you claoser to sat to arrange to meet up for muffins and a play - looking fwd to it!
I think we will buy a spray bottle on the way there - i think N will love it! he is so spoiled though, we boight him heaps of 'active' toys at ELC the other day to take down - he is going to have a BALL! teh garden is bigger than ours too so he will love that freedom.
Lastest breaky treat here is 'milkshakes' - a whole banana and some milk in the blender - goes down v well and he thinks it is a treat with the straw etc. sometimes i add yoghurt and blueberries too whcih is even more special! he isnt much of a breakfast eater so this is a great option for us!
Ginger - enjoy the night out tonight - well deserved! i am thinking i might splurge on a glass of wine! (oh i forgot that woudl add ww points - maybe not!)
MD - I love the KI yoghurts too - not at the moment though!
MP - we just got a spray bottle from the supermarket, the same as I use for ironing. K loves her smoothies (with a bit of yogurt in them too), although they are a bit thick for a straw! K occupies herself at the beach with throwing rocks into the water. She just goes back and forth for ages.
yes we have smoothies around here all the time, a good idea is to chuck a weet-bix in there too occasionaly.
i'm excited about going out tonight, i just put some curl activator spray in jimmy's hair and it's gone awesome! LOL, gorgeous spiral ringlets, i'm just not sure how i'm going to explain to my friends that my 7 month old wears product already
talk to me about toilet training...anyone doing anything?
do you guys think 2.5yrs is too young for lewis to start kinder? should i wait till jan 2011? whaddaya think?
Curl activator spray? I'm so gonna get me some of that!!! Bet J is super cutarama with his ringlets! So for you that you're dad is coming and you can have you evening out! Not doing anything about TT until my new boobie is installed and my arm is fully mobile - too much extra cleaning involved . Summer's a good time to let them run around the back yard without a nappy on. Can you still get those terry towelling training pants?
Re the montessori - I don't *think* it has any religious element to it, I think it's strictly an educational method as such, but it might depend on the actual school that's using the method as to whether they have a religious philosophy underpinning it. Let us know how the appt goes. We have a montessori preschool here and I have wondered idly about it every time I drive past there, maybe i should check it out too. BTW I think 2.5 is too young for regular kinder but montessori is set up differently & for younger kids so ask them about the timing.
Clare lOl at L starting on the sand! Lucky the beach endlessly recycles itself.
Arte - love the concept behind free beach sand but our local beaches are struggling to hang onto what little sand they have. Not sure I'd be really popular with the locals if I turned up with a trailer LOL.
CAlly - yeah I think that water flows your way from down antartica way doesn't it...brrrr. I reckon you should just do it with the fencing, I'm pretty sure you could step it down in sections, or even plane a bit out for the gate, kwim? It will change your life.
MP bet you're looking forward to some time away from it all! Think of us when you and Cally and hoeing into muffins together!
Well Missy E had an exciting time at Kindergym today when she WON the 50c raffle! Three little tubs of playdough, not bad for her second time back there.
