I'm back and FOs

Thanks Els:))

For many years now the norm is to have pushchairs facing forward. They are now saying that children are learning to speak later because of this. By the time I had my daughter it had become common to have forward facing pushchairs but I hated that idea and searched until I found one facing me. It fascinated me that when she was just few months old, when we were out walking with her in her pram, I could pull faces at her and she would copy me:)) I used to wonder how she knew she was wiggling her nose to do the same as I was doing:))

You are all very very welcome, both here in Sweden and in Italy :-)

Hugs,

Anna Maria

and here in Scotland:)

I think, after the excitement of Christmas, we are ready for a relaxing trip.

THe pram I had for Alec faced me. He spoke early, and I never thought that that could have helped.

Higs, Katherine

Yes that would be a wonderful trip, I have always wanted to go and fly in one as well. My sister in law did once. She travels a lot as a DR wife and as the owner of a small medical instrument outfit in Holland. She thought it was a great and fast trip. Now we can only dream about flying in a Concorde, just the vihicle for us.....LOL

I would thin that it was a copying act, that is how kids learn......(smile)

Els

Good, we can make plans.....LOL

Els

OK I am all for that, an easy chair and a hot drink a funny movie and feet up, back rest reclyned......ready set go

Els

Indeed, but I wondered how a baby knew they were copying. How did she know how do whatever it takes to copyme, if you see what I mean:))

And our knitting! Don't forget that!

Ophelia , the important thing for kids is to Stick each different language to one person , i.e, if you speak English with him , Speak English with him , and don`t try speaking German with him. At a ceratin age this confuses them more than anything... in Bi lingual pairs , it is adviced to parents to each use one langugae when speaking to the children . Best of luck , Multi lingual children gain a lot, Europe has now many Bi lingual people . mirjam

My Broom is all oiled ,, the Straw is brushed , i plucked out the broken edges and added some new fresh smelling bits..... Ps have a new `coat` as well ,,, mirjam
