lancelot Report post Posted February 16, 2006 Mine have just burst the sit-in beanbag (leaping on it for 'gymnastics practice', middle son's words), so our house looks like a snowstorm. Yesterday DS1 came out of a soft play zone to find someone else had gone off with one of his shoes, leaving him with one size 2 (his) and one size 13 (theirs). Anyone seen a kid with one flappy foot walking around Suffolk? The day before that we locked the cat in the car by mistake, so you can imagine what that smelt like in the morning... TBH my AS child is not responsible for this week's disasters at all -- we must just attract them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loulou Report post Posted February 18, 2006 Hi, I can't WAIT for Monday, so i can have some peace and quiet (how mean does that sound?). Kai has developed the ability to whinge (this is new) and it's driving me crackers! He also has started following me around the house all the time. He won't go anywhere in the house unless i'm with him . Hooray for school on monday Loulou x PS my house is a bomb site, so i'll be cleaning ALL day on Monday, but i can blast out some music and i'll be fine!

call me jaded Report post Posted February 19, 2006 I 've had a fair few totally cr@p half terms in the past, but this week has been fun. I seem to have finally found the right balance of activities. Anyhoo my daughter said it was the best ever, and they even enjoyed playing out in the garden in the rain with chalks this afternoon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flora Report post Posted February 19, 2006 I'm actually dreading them going back to school tomorrow. I hate school mornings with a passion. Tomorrow is going to be extra hard because I'm taking William to meet the SENCo at the secondary school he's going to in September. Lauren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
