I too found the 0-4...Frighteningly accurate, Ms K!<br /><br />I too found the 0-4 years very hard going but now look upon them fondly and Sapphire loves to hear the reminiscences about the things she did, said, played with etc.<br /><br />Luckily, cuddles still feature pretty strongly - just not in the presence of any other kids...!MedicatedMoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08609190990579743429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-53636915276247192982012-03-14T13:36:24.908+11:002012-03-14T13:36:24.908+11:00No worries Ariane - I liked it! Added value :)
You...No worries Ariane - I liked it! Added value :)<br />You are right I did forget about games!<br />I am hopeless at handball but I can totally whip their butts on totem tennis!<br />Trying to teach little kids how to play Snakes and Ladders or Trouble and how they won't always win: very sucky. School age they start to get it. On the flip side, it's been a couple of years and you're still playing Trouble...Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-73215927015587317862012-03-14T10:34:40.683+11:002012-03-14T10:34:40.683+11:00Handball explanation for non-Aus readers - I reali...Handball explanation for non-Aus readers - I realised that sounds really condescending to anyone who grew up with it! :)Arianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977679825245376111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-34518962540029861912012-03-14T08:13:47.432+11:002012-03-14T08:13:47.432+11:00You missed out "You whip your kid's butt ...You missed out "You whip your kid's butt at handball" for the school aged kids. :) <br /><br />I played handball, as a purely magnanimous gesture, you understand, with my 9yo last weekend, and he was flabbergasted that not only did I know how to play, I was much better than him! <br /><br />(Handball, in this context, is played with a tennis ball (or similar sized rubber ball) with 2 or more players in squares. It's played in Australian school playgrounds and looks nothing like the Olympic sport of handball: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyxUjwUanIw )Arianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977679825245376111noreply@blogger.com
