I am dreading her outgrowing it. I have also kept a red dress that she wore when she was one. It is Poppy red (to match her name). Sentimental to the last. <BR/>But they grow so quickly. Too quickly.<BR/>Oh I need more babies!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470638074202676460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19302868.post-56835767780350715042007-02-21T09:00:00.000+00:002007-02-21T09:00:00.000+00:00Ditto what Nutmeg said.

My oldest is 14, hormonal and now about four inches taller than me, but thankfully he still cuddles:-) I don't think I could take it if that stopped just yet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744937536946299450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19302868.post-9972420582485545482007-02-21T08:26:00.000+00:002007-02-21T08:26:00.000+00:00I say keep and pack away just the spotty dressing ...I say keep and pack away just the spotty dressing gown. As a momento :-)<BR/><BR/>And having definitely decided that I will have no more children I find it surprising that little pangs rise up every so often. But I have come to realise lately that the pangs are for my passing youth. The "ability" to still have babies makes one "feel" young. I think this may be Madonna's current "issue" ha ha!<BR/><BR/>And while I don't condone these ridiculously extravagant parties I do like simple, offsite events. Jane, I don't think you were lazy - just time poor and practical. Jumping castle and dress-ups; what simple, easy fun. You did good :-)nutmeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00338099206534716993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19302868.post-21382578265393947922007-02-21T06:13:00.000+00:002007-02-21T06:13:00.000+00:00Happy Birthday No 4.Dont blame you, even my mom wo...Happy Birthday No 4.Dont blame you, even my mom wonders why we kids grew up so quickly. She misses the times she spent playing with us when we were babies.

My two boys both want parties at home. One to be a Doctor Who themed party (my stupid idea).<BR/><BR/>I'm not really into fancy dress for children but I thought the girls could dress up as the Doctor's assistant thereby wearing their favourite outfits.<BR/><BR/>Having a load of 9 and 10 year olds in the house is a bit of a handful especially when, last year, the girls kept talking about sex.<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure they don't really understand what they are saying, it's just a word to them, but you just don't know these days. They were far worse than the boys.<BR/><BR/>But I obviously don't want the younger children repeating it.<BR/><BR/>I don't want my youngest to start school and be the parent everyone else avoids!<BR/><BR/>Sue xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19302868.post-31311585489617062052007-02-20T22:25:00.000+00:002007-02-20T22:25:00.000+00:00Each year as my daughter's celebrate yet another b...Each year as my daughter's celebrate yet another birthday.
