Yes there's nothing like the rat...Thanks all. <br /><br />Yes there's nothing like the rate of growth of small children to bring it home how time passes. I see him often enough to be able to pick up where we left off, but with enough gaps to notice the changes in him. <br /><br />After reading this, his mum sent me an iphone video of him; she must have told him to move around and make a noise, as he was launching himself around the sofa making hideous goblin roars and whoops, which had the effect of rendering me helpless with laughter, all the more so because I didn't have to worry about encouraging him since he couldn't see me laughing. <br /><br />She also sent a photo of him with his collection of Playmobile figures, which while not all rag and woodwork, are reassuringly old-fashioned toys, and still very popular with kids here of quite a wide range of ages. But it's true, detail and colour are certainly more popular with youngsters really than retro simplicity and natural materials.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-35006337070946985842010-10-23T09:57:24.437+02:002010-10-23T09:57:24.437+02:00Happy Birthday, indeed!

So you repaired to a café. I wondered whether I could, without cheating, (ie, using the etymological dictionary) track down possible French roots to that particular meaning notably via <em>repérer</em>. Don't think so. But it's one to ponder on my less evocative walks to Tesco. As to old-fashioned toyshops, check with Princeling. In my experience it's adults who respond to choo-choos carved minimalist fashion in wood. Kids prefer Hornby 00 gauge, the more detail the better. Or perhaps the infants I've encountered have simply had no soul - like me, whose preferences in these matters are no secret.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-86682075161794316812010-10-20T04:15:20.645+02:002010-10-20T04:15:20.645+02:00Kids and Nutella! ♥Kids and Nutella! ♥Rouchswalwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393987883437907945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-74366323342185664322010-10-20T03:24:54.125+02:002010-10-20T03:24:54.125+02:00Adorable!Adorable!zephyrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-68749504768593153502010-10-19T23:03:16.481+02:002010-10-19T23:03:16.481+02:00:-):-)Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523194846272870013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-81895986856929665272010-10-19T22:21:45.460+02:002010-10-19T22:21:45.460+02:00What a wonderful age he is.
