    Honest to goodness is it too much to expect that when asked to put a baby to bed, one who has been stripped of dinner coated clothing, that she be dressed in a flaming sleepsuit first? Did I actually have to specify put a sleepsuit on the naked baby then put her in bed? I mean come on!!! Give me something here!!!

    Best name for a potential girl if you ask me :p

    KAREN

    Orginated in old Greek from the elements 'carus' meaing 'dear' and 'katharos' meaning 'pure' . The name evolved as a Scandinavian form of Katharina and has diminished in popularity in recent years.


    Just putting that out there :whistle:

    Keira is 4 and almost a half and she can't use a fork and knife either, but then she is left handed so bound to be a bit bappet :p She tends to cut her food with the side of her fork, though it is liable to pinging off the plate.

    I have peppa pig cutlery for keira thats a proper knife and fork, with the knife she kinda just batters whatever it is until it cuts, but then recently I've been giving her one of the good butter knives (that is sharper) and been letting her cut up veg for tea, like mushrooms tomatoes etc. Should see the state of them mind, she may as well of pureed it, but she holds the veg steady with the right hand, and slices with the left, and i must admit to swapping her hands over :o but then she just swaps back so meh......

    Her handwriting could only look better than mine. Shocking, I haven't written something since I left college, bar a signature or address here or there.
