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.
