New place for plenty of
-------------------------------------------
Little catch up from me
Karen - That's fantastic news about the fine Quite right that they scrapped it too
Lizzy - Glad to hear dh is okay after his op There's sweet that Kitty has her first doll - awwww
Sue - We didn't childproof everything either. Just put up stairgates and fireguard really. There seems to be an initial period of investigation where a firm and consistent 'no' has worked with Jack and Ben, and of course if you're with them anyway you can distract their attention elsewhere, etc. Eventually though they just get bored with opening the video cabinet and pulling all the vidoes out, touching things they shouldn't etc. It's like once they've investigated a bit and realise that it's not that interesting, they soon learn the difference between an ornament and a toy. I didn't do half the child proofing I thought I'd need to. I've also found it's then very handy for I visit people's houses who aren't childproofed, as Jack and Ben know what they can/can't touch.
Ben's just started doing something that really tickles me - he picks up the remote control, puts it to his ear and says 'hiya!' Only thinks it's a phone Think I may have to introduce him to the play phone now
So glad it's the weekend Although my working week this week was very short at just 2 (instead of 3) days. Next week is even shorter though as I already have Weds off and then Thrus am it's the parent's induction ready for Jack starting school (OMG!) in September. So I will only be in for 1.5 days this week Result!
Boring day tomorrow - really need to give the house a clean right through. Inlaws are visiting Sunday, and of course it's Daddys Day, so dh will be getting spoilt
Hope everyone has a fabby weekend.
Love
