    On the earlier discusion about knives and forks... Aimee always has a proper knife and fork now... I rarely cut her meat up for her (only when I shoe leather the chops lol)... But she'd still rather just pick it up with her fingers and eat it... I hope they don't judge me down at the school... :o

    Having worked in school and listened to the cackling in the staff room, I cringe when mine do anything wrong or I forget something. Or like today when OH got up with kids and did school run (bad night) and Erin has a school trip. Despite discussions about suitable wear last night my lovely daughter decided it was a fashion show and went dressed for a disco not February!:eek: So embarrassed when I went to get her. :o
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    That's a lovely Piccy Tara :)

    And lol @ OH letting Erin go to school in disco clothes... I'm sure Aimee will try to push her luck like that in a couple of years... I'm already losing grip on her attire at weekends...

    Bathroom guys went... Back tomorrow to do the toilet and finish off the bath... The sink has sealant waiting to dry, I told Aimee if she touches it, it will fall off the wall... Seems to have worked!

    Oh, and I'm really pleased with them... Not only did they clean up after themselves... But they vacuumed the landing and everything before they left!!!
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    It all sounds good to me. I think it's good to make sure that you don't have everything revolving around them while they're awake. (Obviously certain things are essential (like feeding) and do revolve around them.) I also think it's good for them to see you doing things around the house so that a) they learn how to do those things and b) they don't grow up thinking that everything just gets magically done.

    I don't know what the children at school the teachers were thinking of were like but Alice eats better than the child I'm thinking of and she is four years younger.
