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 think it was the Contiuum Concept that talks about babies/toddlers watching and being involved from a very early age, so they know how to do things - very interesting watching little toddlers cutting fruit with a sharp knife!

Toby is involved with almost everything I do, and he loves watching me make dinner. Talking of which, I've got Beef and Caramelised Onions in the slower cooker. I felt a bit silly, the amount of meat in it, when I thought back to a conversation on here about sizes of portions.

Could I get the recipe for it? Was really nice, I'm tempted to try it with an orange icing.

I made Chris's 1st birthday cake choccy sponge with orange buttercream icing :cool:

I wouldn't worry about what your LOs do at school, tbh some teachers are just b!tches and will always find something to laugh at in the staff room. *rolleyes*

Tara now you look like Em with that Avvy
I liked the 'old' one and could deffo see you weren't feelie *smug*

Should I change back? I had had my old Avvy for a long time. I wasn't sure about changing it TBH. Doesn't feel like me. I don't feel like me either.

Also, when is next Sling Meet? I might go if you all promise to be there.

Oh my, I've created a monster...

I told Aimee about the wishbone on a chicken yesterday and we broke it together... She won and her wish was that she could be a good girl forever... Very sweet and everything, but everytime I have to tell her something (like stop picking your peas up one by one and eating them and use your knife and fork) She starts crying and telling me her wish didn't come true because she's not a good girl.... :rolleyes:

All the primary schools round here have uniforms. I don't think they're compulsory but everyone wears them so you would really stick out if you didn't.

I thought it was Tara who had posted about the walkers last night too! Lovely new picture though. I don't think it looks like Seth as Em's picture is bigger I think.

Our school has uniform too Susan, but sometimes on certain trips they get to go casual... Although at Aimee's age they still ask that they wear uniform so they can keep track of them while they're still of the age to go wandering off...

Will Alice be going to school or will you be home schooling?

it is the Continuum Concept feelie I think it's based on 'lost' tribes like in rainforest communities where very young (by western standards) use big sharp knives and hunt etc.

I LOVE caramelised onions, what have you actually done/put in it? wish I had something yummy for tea but I've not even looked in the freezer yet think I might nip out for something
