Cass, I think I woulda been right beside you rolling my eyes at the "apple allergy" thing...but gosh I stand corrected. I'm also taking your kiwifruit info as a cautionary tale and will be speakign with DH shortly so he doesn't slip it into her lunchbox. On the positive side, it sounds like a situation that can be remedied overtime so it's not like melon will never pass her lips again, kwim?

Ginger, when the time is ready you will be able to put yourself "out there" again, and any org'n worth its salt will see your value and want you. If they don't see it, they ain't worth it.

Arte, how is the study coming along? I have never seen Dora (except a Christmas DVD) let alone Diego but they are *huge* with the under 5s.

Well I had a little bit of a shock yesterday when I realised it's Missy E's birthday in only 3 weeks...needless to say her birthday party plans are being radically scaled back. We leave on a flying family wedding trip only a few days later, it's father's day (and my birthday) the week before, I fear it could be too much all at once for this rest-lovin chicken.
