Not only would the birthday parties be multiplied but so too would school plays, concerts, playdates, dates (!), etc etc etc...

I have tried on 3 separate computers to leave a comment for Omega Mum at keir Royale, and her security keeps kicking me out. I believe others may be having the same problem with her site, I have honestly tried to leave over a dozen comments between yesterday and today. Her site has accepted a comment from you yesterday, could you alert her to the problem. I can't find an email contact address to alert her myself.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,dulwichmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17106294077068237863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-86459055898797524172007-12-08T18:34:00.000+00:002007-12-08T18:34:00.000+00:00Hi Elsie, I would hope there aren't too many drama...Hi Elsie, I would hope there aren't too many drama teachers with such grand designs for 3 and 4 year olds out there, and that you will manage to escape that particular joy - although in her defence, I should say that none of the children were on-stage for more than 10 minutes. <BR/><BR/>It was the parents who went through it... I mean, really, once you've seen your own offspring, you just want to skedaddle, right? (Not very Christmas spirited, I know, but let's just say it like it is...) The last thing you want is to then sit through another hour of other people's little cherubs showing off. Luckily for us, Boy #1 was towards the end so the whole thing managed to hold our interest.

Tommy Zoom is still here - it seems he has taken over from Steve Irwin, so we have a temporary respite from crocodile wrestling. Long may it continue.<BR/><BR/>Tracey, your school sounds a great deal more sensible than ours. And did you find yourself rummaging around for an old crusty tissue when you got a bit emotional?

BUT, to give the teacher credit, the costumes were mostly organised at school, nothing expensive (a lot of paper used very cleverly) and everyone in a group was dressed the same. No showing off. And definitely not that long! It was actually so cute it brought tears to my eyes, and I am definitely not usually that way inclined. <BR/><BR/>Caviar?!
