haha, yeah I love that Dh takes them to the 'mouse house' (we once left a mouse there after Leila busted our cat with it...she was horrified so we had to take it off the cat lol).
I was thinking the laptop looking thingy...but the DS looking one could be even better (smaller and easier to lug around)...
we will be fairly central (westwood). but apparently it is really nice and very leafy and pedestrian friendly. so i guess on that front it will be good. i hope!
ok, another quick bit of advice needed!! we saw a small dog lying on the side of the road. we pulled up and i jumped out to check on it. it was very obviously dead; a lady from the house it was lying in front of was on the mobile calling the lost dogs home and the council to get it identified and picked up. Leila wanted to come over and have a look. DH and I both said no. (it was NOT a pretty sight if you can imagine). she completely lost it and became hysterical. she knew that it had died and she was upset, but she was really upset that we wouldnt let her have a look (she wanted to say goodbye to the puppy). i felt so bad. and not sure taht i did the right thing by not letting her have a look??? i have no idea?! it was pretty confronting??? she is currently bawling her eyes out wanting the puppy to come 'back' so she can take it to the park to play with stella . far out...i have NO IDEA on what to say to her???
If you believe in the notion of an afterlife, tell her the dog has left her body and is already running around happily with lots of other doggies in a very nice park called Heaven/the afterlife/whatever.
If you don't believe in the notion of an afterlife, maybe tell her that the nice lady is looking after her and maybe she can draw the doggie a picture/write a letter and you can "post it" at the letter box ?
MD: yeah i told her that the puppy was happy again and playing with all the other puppies in heaven etc. but she was VERY worried about the body being left there (as we all were i guess, she just had a different approach to wanting to 'fix it' ITMS). the sad part is that today everytime she sees a small dog she cries thinking that it is going to be 'dead' . I guess with time she will process it. we will keep some small chats about it when she brings it up i guess. i dont know...so hard. we have been to too many funerals (or rather in her case, had too many people pass away...she hasnt been to all funerals/memorials, only Oma's) in the last year and a bit.
oh poor L that is sad. poor puppy too. is she ok today cass? not long till your trip now. how exciting!!!
i recently bought the boys a leap pad and i can highly recommend it. we have the leapstar explorer too like trill said, but this is more like an iPad. you can use the games from the explorer too so you don't need to buy new games. i would highly recommend it, the boys love theirs.
cass i got the leap pads on special from myer. also picked up 2 pink ones for jungle mum! I'm not sure if they're still on special there though but def worth checking.
md- are you pumped for some reece action tonight???
. far out...i have NO IDEA on what to say to her???
I have no idea what you should try to tell her that would help?
