TBH I'm dreading her 4th birthday (6weeks) Kinda all grown up now.

I can't believe I have an (almost) 4yo! The past 4 years have flew by, I don't know where the time went. Makes me sad actually.

Is she getting excited? Alice is really excited about hers now that she understands about birthdays.

Yeah she is actually because it means she is "growing up like Ellie" That's all she wants, to be as tall as Ellie (my 6yo sister!)

She wants a drum and a trumpet for her birthday. Not too sure on the drums, myself! Oh, and she wants to go on the train on her birthday, so I'm sure we can arrange that

Will probably take her down to Newcastle, near her birthday to visit OH's sister who lives there. Just for a nice weekend away. I'm sure she will love it.

Yesterday she drew a picture of her family, and told me it was for me and I have to keep it "foreber and eber" then she drew one for herself with her "baby sister" in the picture. I said Keira, you don't have a baby sister, then she said "OH, can I have one for my birthday?"

Ummm, no....

Alice had a phase where she kept saying that "baby sister" was crying outside the front door and we had to keep showing her that there was no baby sister out there. She's mad about babies but you don't get them on the shelves in shops so she's never asked for one.

It's for me Lolly, thanks for the tip I think I'll buy it from a proper place tho cos I get a bit worried about ebay delays

Sorry chick got a bit confused there. Shame really my Sil is pinching my birthpool for her birth i would have had a spare liner otherwise. When do you need it for Weezle she is due next month if it doesnt get opened and you havent got one by then i'm sure the fairies can redistribute it :-)

Bless her. I imagine Alice will be over the moon when you decide to have your 2nd baby. More so if it's a sister

Keira is just very, I want it so can I have it for my birthday. If something breaks she is so flippant "Oh we can buy a new one tomorrow" Can we really?! Even if all it needs is a bit of glue!

Dosen't quite understand the concept of money but she does SORT of know where babies come from. Well this is her interpretation.

"When I was a baby in your tummy, I came out your foof and made your tummy fat, and that's why you have a big tummy cause I made you fat"

Sounds about right! I'll just blame her for my fat belly

I hasten to add I don't sit and tell her these things, she just asked me one day where babies came from and so I told her, in a roundabout way!

Alice always says, "Daddy will fix it when he gets home." if she breaks something. She thinks he can mend anything - even popped balloons.

Halfcost had drum sets for £7 (10% discount with FF15) a while ago, they might still have them.

I'm currently watching OBEM from the other night and feeling terribly unsympathetic for the woman who's yelling all over the place. I'm probably a horrible person.

Beenie- what rate has DS got on his? I bet it's way more than you could get on Amber's.

When i first put it in the interest rate was good, 5.45% paid yearly (i think!!) but the last time i was sent a statement it was less than 1 i think? They only send statements on his birthday so won't get one til April. Apparently he'll get another £250 this year as he turns 7 cos i'm a doley?
