  Taekwondo

  I would like my boys to take it up when they are older. At the moment though, they are taught to swim for both safety and enjoyment.

  AAARRRGGGHHH.

  I use that often and always wondered how to spell it.

  My advice, from similar experiences is AAARRRGGGHHH!

  Teenagers

  Amy, you've just listed my three strongest points.

  I must be the oldest teen in the world.

  Thing I hate the most is say, when you lock up the house to go out, but have to go back in for the wallet/phone/nappies/whatever. And after going through the whole procedure to unlock Fort Knox, forgetting what it was that was left behind in the first place.

  Back on subject though, my kids won't be allowed to be teenagers. You see, I want to live a little longer.

  First Day of School

  My oldest (5 next Tuesday 13th) started last Monday (29th). After one day he thought he had a PHD. Come Saturday he was so upset when we told him he didn't go to school on the weekend. Wonder how long that will last. One thing I noticed was that he was looking fairly spent by Thursday. Last year he did between two and three days at a daylight robbery centre. I'm led to believe the correct term is daycare.
