    Kiddie scooters?

    Think Ambers next sleepwear will be PJ's. Sleepsuits get too short too quick because she is just so long in the body.

    Called EH. Bet the mutt shuts up now.

    Thanks Tia and M'sM, yes - kiddie scooters, E has shown much interest in the scooters some 2- and 3-year olds at toddler groups he goes to have.
    Getting a cheapo one is very tempting but I would then be wracked with guilt if it broke and sent him spinning into a road or something less dramatic but still shameful and damning me for my [STRIKE]penny-pinching[/STRIKE] MSE ways.

    I ponder.

    Vest under the PJ's, no cold tummies. And also no yelling at 2am cos our foot has gotten stuck in your sleepsuit.

    .. no probs, all fine here thanks, just spent the last 10 mins trying to discreetly nosy out the window there was a crazy woman trying to kick someones door in, i was just about to look up the police stations number but they turned up, not took her anywhere yet though ??!

    :rotfl::rotfl:
    I woke up to see two community support officers on pushbikes at the end of our drive on Saturday.. They were having words with the neighbour about the continued silly parking wars down out street - one house, six cars and only one on their drive, the rest (inc a transit minibus and a removals truck!) scattered about the street. I ducked down, crept over to the window, opened it as quietly as I could and sat underneath it, earwigging! :o

    Bruno, another one here for the cheap scooter !! We had a 3 wheeler one for Jas when she was younger, think it was about £10 from Woolworths and its still here in perfect condition and then she got one of the metal fold away micro scooter a couple of years ago and it was £15 and its great too !! I really dont think there is much difference in them to be paying that much extra !!

    He wears a vest and sleepsuit - when it was really cold he wore a thin fleecy one. I worry about him getting too warm :o
    Do you mean putting a normal sleepsuit under a fleecy one and then a sleeping bag?
    Don't know why I'm worried as I let him sleep under our duvet!

    He wears a vest, a normal sleepsuit and then a fleecy sleepsuit. His bedroom is normally 20-23 degrees - which apparently too hot but he seems to like it that way.


    When we were away he wore just a sleepsuit and that seemed fine...oh dilemmas dilemmas!!

    Sami - you must have been busy that Christmas Eve!!

    Bruno, no, your being ripped off. At E's age I'd get one of the cheap chad valley tri scooters because he will outgrow it quite quick, I may go upt £30 for one of the character ones just to spoil them, but then they outgrow Thomas. Chris is getting a £20 one tomorrow.

    Just my 2pence worth.

    Bruno, I think a trip to a shop is in order, sometimes the old ways are the best :cool:

    Chris is freaked out by scooters *shrug* I've tried to get him to try them in shops but he just squeals at them
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    mfd - I think that was the Christmas I got to bed around 3am, the year after was the worst at 5am :eek: I think last one was around 2am, not unusual for me on a normal right :o

    he got some more PJs for his 1st b-day too!
