Beccles - No She doesn't get to start until next September as her birthday is in April, they only let 4 yo into school this year if there birthday is before the end of Feb. Stupid rule if you ask me, but then she really isn't ready for school IMO. Nursery is more fun I'm away to call now and get all the info about the job.

Charlotte will be 3 in May and starts at the nursery attached to the school this September. She'll either get morning or afternoon sessions. Then she starts full time school in September 2011.

They'll be starting school at the same time even though Keira is just over a year older than Charlotte

We had a day like that when Alice was about 15 months and discovered she could wee in the potty standing up. She had great fun.

That made me laugh again :rotfl:

It reminded me of the lady weeing in the men's urinal at the beginning of the Full Monty. Hope Alice doesn't grow up and do that mind

Angela - dd1 sat some Gsce's last year in year 10 and did really well but if she wants to resit them this year to see if she can do better she can do. Also if she did worse this year the original grade would still stand so she cant loose really

DD2 has started headbutting when she dosnt get her own way - at the minute we are completely ignoring it but last nite she head butted the wall and really hurt herself:rolleyes: am at a bit of a loss what to do as I cant remember DD1 going through this stage - any tips would be greatly appreaciated.

I didn't know that if you re-sat, if the newer grade was worse, you get to keep the older grade - the better grade no matter what. Not that 16yo had any issues with that.

One of mine used to hit herself on the head when younger when things didn't go her way. The only way we could teach her was to tell her off and punish her by removal of something she liked. She soon found that it was easier not to hit herself. She was 5/6 at the time. How old is DD2?

MOTM - DD2 is 21 months old Im sure its just a phase but bit distressing to watch as last night she really hurt herself.

DD1 got a 'C' in maths which is a pass and is great but she said if she can improve it by resiting she still has the 'C'. Dont thinks its area specific - im sure it must be a national rule:p

Been out for a lovely meal for DD1's 16th tonight!

Hi all

Had a very nice afternoon and we're going back next week. Rhys was very good at the knee bending actions and the waving ones :rolleyes: He loved looking around the room and stared at all the little people, much more his size! Really liked the parachute too, both the breeze from it when he was sat on the edge, and being covered with it when we laid him down just underneath it (like a giant version of peekaboo!)

We've only played with parachutes once, but Izzy loved it (and I thought it was quite fun too ). Are you going to be doing it weekly now?

And wow Angela, that is a lot of milestone birthdays in one year

I have opened the mini bottle of cava MIL got me for Christmas. Izzy's birthday seems like a good reason to celebrate to me
