Darn i am gutted. Someone on freecycle 2 mins down the road from me offered a leap pad learn n groove activity station and i was just pipped to the post by the first one to reply apparently emails were only mins apart. I never offer things to the first person i don't think it's fair and doesn't give anyone else a chance.
Has anyone got one? do you recomend me buying one? Are they really worth the price?

Beenie, hmmm. He had his jabbies at 3:30pm and wouldn't go to sleep at his usual bedtime of 7:30, but I reckon we really noticed him being really feverish & clammy around about 9-10pm. Gave him some Calpol around about 10pm and I think the fever finally broke around about 3am, though I was not totally coherent do timings are less than accurate .

oo-er, my baby's heavier than yours (14lbs 1)! LOL, but he's a boy

kindof - I really think it doesn't matter! DH plays his video games with Finn there and we watch whatever we want on TV. We also still swear but that's going to stop soon

Ah right cool, I'll see what he's like but like others say I might not have a choice but to watch CBeebies lol

Sami - yeah you are right about the CS, when I spoke to teh MW at the hospital about a next child she said becuase of the labour I had they would monitor me more this time and give me more scans to check on size and position of baby so we could make a decision if I wanted to go natural or not and if my 3degree tear heals ok then there is no reason why I cant go natural again (apart from the fact that thought terrifies me lol)

I too have watched baby programmes from home and health channel and a baby died they obv didnt show you it but you followed the woman through her pregnancy and tehn were told the latest scan revelled baby died its was sad and I cried a lot, no warning at all

I had a huge debate about this with OH actually. I kept (a boiled) one for twenty years without any problems and another for a number of years but not so many. We are only intending them to be a throw away gift though and are going to tell the recipients they are hard boiled so that they can make their own choice on how long to keep them. I figure the practicalities of a two year old painting them and then transporting them means hard boiled eggs are more likely to stay in one piece.

I'd just decorate some eggs anyway if I wanted to - you can always get Henry to do multiple eggs and then have OH "judge" them so that there's still a competition.

cazscoob

you just reminded me to boil an egg for Abis nursery tom!
the whole school are also having a BIG breakfast, all the farms from round about are donating their produce and all the parents have been invited to go and have breakfast with their children! should be good fun

wow £5 that is great. I have just looked on ebay nothing under £20 within 50 miles of me but that is still a good price. I will have to keep looking for a bit to see if one comes up.

ds1 took some eggs that he made into chicks for the school comp. Well i felt quite bad for our poor effort as you should have seen some of the mega creations people had made. At least i can say Ds did all of it where's there is no way most of the 4 year olds did those things. We haven't had time what with H being so ill so i think he did really well and wwill print him off a cert on the comp.

I thought he did a brill job but then i am bias. He put the eggs and colour tabs in warm water to make the eggs change colour put google eyes on, pipe cleaners on for feet, feathers and piece of triangle card for a beak. The only thing i did was cut the beak out and of course boiled the egg.
And the winner was the teachers pet.

Does anyone else find the same children/child gets picked for everything. This one boy who won the comp has been the groom in a wedding they did. ( done proper in church bit odd 4 /5 year olds learning about getting married) He has had the school pet home my ds hasn't and is really upset about it. He got the leads in the xmas and harvest plays, gets sweets from the teacher for helping her/doing good work etc, had the best writter award, and several certificates for good work/being good, helping. Gets to hold animals that come into the school,( they had owls and ds1 really wanted to hold one but he didn't get picked) and is on all the school web-site pics doing all the above etc

It doesn't help that the mother always brags about it all. What did you say? Me bitter? of course!. I want my child to shine too.

I forgot to say how sneaky OH was this morning!!!

The last two morning Elliot has woke at 9am and Ive got up with him and fed him and then he's had awake time so I've stayed awake with him and left OH in bed

Well this morning I slept through Elliot waking up (ive no idea how he has mega lungs lol) so OH got up with him fed him then came upstairs and woke me up and gave me a coffee lol

SO while it was nice to get a coffee lol I personally would have let him sleep and madehim a coffee when he woke lol

elastigirl - we had a bit of this at DSS old school. He asked me to help him with an art project because he wanted it to be 'really' good so the teacher would pick it to go on the wall. He had never had anything chosen for the wall and every time he just thought it was because he wasn't good enough and he tried even harder next time

A quick word with the teacher did the trick - she said she didn't know that he had never had anything on the wall and put some stuff straight up.

aww elasti that's not good, I'd speak to the teacher all innocent like just in case it's like mfd's situation (doesn't sound like it though! is the teacher a friend of the boys family or something?)
