oh I had one of those, no idea it was called a lolo ball tho! I had the same problem Susan had and like susan I wasn't a heavy child

I knew it as a lolo ball at the time but had completely forgotten that was what it was called until I clicked the link.

Oh and SM, that is out of order ripping a page out of her book and also 3 - scary nuns? :eek: It's the sexual deprivation, makes them bitter *runs away with that outlandish comment......*

Absolutely right Buttons. We only had a few Nuns left at school, but they were all mad.

When Mum was at the school it was a still a convent school and Mum and her sister are still mentally scarred! :eek:

Here good luck!

Gill, I used to call it an At A Cart kitchen and I too really, really wanted one. My mother keeps on talking about how much I wanted one and it was on my list year after year. She never explained why she didn't get one though

I had one of those kitchens!!!!! However I always wanted a Mr frosty and never got one. DH always wanted one too so he's getting one for Christmas this year

I love the made up stories does anyone elses LO use an Amercian accent when playing? Emma's is perfect - i blame the disney channel.

Scary teacher SM hope shes not there long if shes just cover.

My little sister always put on an American accent when playing when we were younger, so funny. I wonder why so many kids do that?!

lolo ball...
meant to say before the reason i wanted one was because the twins in my class were the 'advertisers/models' for it in Ireland. there was a group of girls (maybe some boys) who appeared on some of the tv progs in ireland to 'plug 'it. when we went to there house they had about 6 of them so we used to have races bouncing on them. the balls never slipped through the ring thouh
gh. they blue rings/yellow ball

think i must have been bout 9 or 10 at the time

I need to find a hobby-horse, has anyone seen one?

Poor unfortunate V, who obviously has no toys , is bouncing around the house on the brushing-up brush making click-clack sounds.

apparently there are more mr frosty's sold now than ever as so many people never got them as kids.

Are you not allowed to have the baby on a normal ward Becky? When I was booked in for a tonsilectomy and I told them I was breastfeeding, the ward nurse asked why I didn't have the baby with me... I said she was 2 1/2 she could cope without me for one night... But if she'd have been younger she could have stayed with me...


QUOTE]

nope, no children under 12 allowed at all, something to do with cross infection, and made no difference to me bf as said it would disrupt other patients having a crying baby on the ward, told them to call me if they changed their minds!! have antibiotics but first lot couldn't take while feeding so had to go back and get a different prescription, think they must of been having numpty day!!

I can't believe that :mad: I would complain as that really isn't right - you have a 3 week old baby. What do they expect you to do?

Hey not caught up from yesterday morning but wanted to ask a quick question before I start...

How long after being able to pull them selves to their feet did your LO start walking?

Mine can pull himself up and Ihas been doing it all the time for the last 2 days! :eek: (He's 7 months today!)

My LO took her first proper independant steps at 9months and 2 days old. I've not stopped since!!! We found that it wasn't the pulling up bit that we saw quick progression, but as soon as she could balance on her feet without holding on there was no stopping her. Its a blessing and a curse at the same time. Sometimes I yearn for her to sit down. She runs around and talks from the minute she wakes until the minute she falls asleep. I do love her though

My daughter still makes crazy stories up at age 9 3/4's. We were telling her the other day to stop it because she's going to get herself, or someone else in trouble.

In Blackpool, within hearing range of lots of people she was saying "Mum, do you remember when you killed me, but then noticed and brought me back to life!"

In the Co-op I was buying a bottle of diet coke she tells the shop assistant that "Mum always puts vodka in her coke". I wouldn't have minded so much but I don't even like vodka and never have.

And the favourite. Getting V weighed at the HV last year, when she was only just about starting on food the HV was asking about what she was eating. I said she's pretty much trying anything we have and attempting to give everything a good suck. L tells her "we have McDonalds like all of the time and V has a happy meal with burger". At that point, she'd never even been into a McDonalds.

nothing else to say on that one, apart from the fact that I'm almost wetting myself :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Mouse trap was played with a few times as it took so long to set up we were fed up by the time it was:p and i ruined my grans pans with the get set candle making set:eek:I remember the Gameboy as my dad bought me and my sis one for Christmas we were over the moon and had every accessory to go with it. although a regualr visit would have made us just as happy?

and also, a handy cat bed

Love it

Charlotte has got that wooden clock! It came from Tesco and only cost a few quid, but it's the most played with toy that we've had. She learned to read numbers and count with it. Might be something to put on people's Santa lists

Does anyone with older kids (like 3 +) - make up weird random storys?

All the time! Today we've had a story about a bus driver that climbs trees in the woods out the back to keep an eye out for naughty giraffes. Then later we had a story about Jack getting covered in enchilada sauce and having to wash himself in the stream.

She also changes the lyrics to songs. At the moment it's Katy Perry's Calafornia Girls, but she sings "Calafornia Bob, he's eating sausages" :rotfl:

She talks about herself in the third person all the time while she is playing. She'll say things like "Charlotte is going to play in the sand now. Actually no, Charlotte is going on the slide instead." She blethers on like that constantly and it's funny listening to her.

i shes not allowed any breaks for the rest of the week and the work she did do the teacher ripped it out of her book and said she to do it again and again til she gets it right .............. im disgusted ... ripping pages out of books !!!!!!!!! :mad: ..

I'd be cross about that too. That's no way to encourage a child to do their work. Hope you get something sorted out tomorrow. I'd go in calm but firm too rather than raging.

James had a good first day at school and enjoyed it. He talked about it none stop at the tea table about different friends he has made and different teachers. He was giggling his head off as he's got a teacher called Mrs White who is black and a Mrs Blackie who is white

Balance was the limiting factor with Alice too. She could walk holding hands from about five months but didn't walk on her own until twelve months (one month after she was able to stand alone).
