Hi, This post continues from the previous one with the same title, but felt it was time to restart it rather than keep adding to the original post. We took the girls to visit their Dad on Sunday as he is now ok to be visited (leg is improving since the artery ruptured last weekend). The older one found it quite hard to start with and was obviously very nervous about seeing her dad in hospital but I held her hand tightly and we walked into the ward together and my younger daughter held her stepfathers hand so they both felt supported. Their father was sitting in the corridor and was obviously thrilled to see the girls but also looked very tired. He walked with a f…

Ok Have You Had This One Before?

We have a little girl with who previously enjoyed snacktime with us, but over the last year we noticed she wasn't having a snack at all. I talked to her about what she liked and made sure we included this, discussed with mum and dad, etc but no difference. Then we started lunches with her group and mum approached us with a breakthrough. She had noticed the little girl would avoid eating with other children at all times, and through careful discussion they had established this seemed to be due to her dislike of watching people eat. Adults she could cope with as generally they are more likely to eat with their mouth closed and not speak with food in their mouths. But with p…

Hi all Hope everyone is well. I need a little bit of advice. My best friend is getting married in August, there is 5 of us that are really close friends and as a little surprise we are taking the bride away for the weekend at the end of May. Her hen night is the end of July but we wanted to spend some time just the 5 of us before the wedding. We are putting together a book of photographs of our friendship together because we have been friends since school. One of my friends is writing a poem also and i just wanted a few more ideas of what else we could put in the book or how we could organise the book that will make it really sentimental. Any suggestions would b…

I've been reading the Labour Party manifesto online, just briefly looking at childcare and early years education.

The Queen was visiting Norwich today, so we walked the afternoon playschool children down to the entrance of the Norfolk and Norwich Association for the blind where she was going open a new centre. Whilst we was waiting we was talking to the children about the Queen, We asked them if they knew who the queen was, 1 of the little boys said yes she is an old lady, when asked where she lived we was told in england. They asked us what her car looked like, I said they will know her car as it will have a flag flying on the front. After they queens car had passed that we had waved our hands and flags to the Queen. One of the children said Rosie the Queens car didnt fly, I said n…
