so cute
i have to get one of those
as we ride the bus alot here in mexico
what brand do you recommend?
 

You should be able to get colourful plastic ones off Ebay for a f ew dollars. plastic is good for this age as you can wash it properly! They tend to get full off dribble and food.....EEEEWWWWWWW! :tongue2:

I am really hoping to home-educate. I was home educated in Australia and the majority of my friends here in London home-ed as well so it seems natural to me. However I may have to go back to work...Damn that money thing!!!!

 This has all been great advice! For even more advice please go and have a look at the La Leche Website. La Leche are the recognized authorities on all things Breastfeeding, there is a wealth of information and topics devoted to issues such as nursing a premature baby.

Good luck for your sister and well done to you for providing her with such good care. The road can be tough and many people will pressure her into putting the baby on formula. But breast really is best.    

Well we are not so technical round here but I do know that Ashley loves to play his harmonica!!!!
 He has been blowing and sucking on it for quite a few months now and it amazingly easy to get a good range of notes and chords out of it!!! It fits in my pocket and we take it around with us, he loves to play it on the bus! I recommend this instrument for even the youngest child.
 
A word though, dont spend a lot of money on one as they tend to bite down on them, and dribble in them, and will soon ruin them. So buy a few cheapies, they sound great and you can just let them go for it!!!!

Soooooo...when I download files sometimes I get a Warning message. It says something about already having a file with that name and offers me 4 choices, rename...skip...and some other things. I always click rename. So what is actually happening here, am I wiping out other files?
 Where is the icon witht the 'clueless' face? Oh here it is.

Yup I'll be having all of those too...

Great! I'll have all of those thank you very much!!!

I was totally lost as well, but found the steps in the 'help' sectio n. FAQ  quite easy to follow. will write more later when dont have bubby on lap.

I do too!  But feel guilty that I'm not helping out with the income.  It would be great if I can find something to do from home part-time.  Everything I come across seems to be a scam or totally difficult unless I lock DD in the closet   It drives me crazy! 

I am soooo hearing you. I keep thinking some fantasic thing will come along so I can pull in a little cash but i dont want to leave my bubby

I've just come back from three days away to find that I have passed 10, 000 points and that means a freeeeeeee Little Reader license! 
 So I wanted to encourage all you folks out there that think they can't make it. It's amazing how quickly the points rack up, especially if you create a download that is popular and lots of people use it. So get busy and start creating!

Here are some ideas I had for new cat.files that I think might be popular, I will downlaod them if someone makes them!!!!!

Body Parts of an Animal...tail, hoof, snout, wing etc.
Counting ...1 dog, 2 dogs, 3 dogs...or motorbikes or apples. etc
Foreign langauge file... one word (example 'cat') in french, spanish, japanese, mandarin, german etc...
More nursery rhymes!!!!!!
Places We Go..library, swimming pool, supermarket, doctors, butcher, greengrocer, bank, post office

 :clown:Good luck!!!

One of the main Baddies to look aout for are 'parabens'. These can be methylparabens ethylparabens etc. You will be amazed when you atart looking they are in every thing.

 Im just about to buy one. Can't wait!

Ive never heard of these! Ashley is contantly covered in bumps and bruises. Its a wonder no-one has called Social Services on me! I think it's all par for the course though and doesnt do any long lasting damage!

  It helps too if it's warm weather...having clothes off is easier... harder when all rugged up and potty in a freezing area...

It's true!

OOps, pressed Post accidently..
 

Fact... I am the oldest girl of 10 Home-educated children.

Question...Where did you celebrate the start of the new Millenium?
