Yesterdays was Darcy's dressing up party of non Halloween theme, fancy dress party at playschool ! ( well it is run in a school )
She went as a fairy, which was great until toast time, which was not taost time, if it had have been toast time, things would have been ok !! but they substiteuted toast for chocolate cake !! Darcy has never had chocolate cake , so this was to be a new experience ! As with all toddlers, they like to pick things up and feel them, so darcy did that to the cake, squashing it in her hand.... then of course because it was oozing everywhere, it is hard to get ooze into your mouth ? !! so she tried to smear it, over her face !! I wish i had a picture, but the image is not pretty !! no the state of the dress !!
( how many times can you mention toast in a blog )

The sweet sounds of Marvin Gaye !
When ever I reach for a Cd to play , Somehow I always keep overlooking Marvin !!
Why, I guess because it is always too fashionable to reach for something new and untried, or something in the charts !
But the truth is that Marvin Gaye is like putting on a comfy pair of slippers !! only One size suits all !!, and never fails to impress.
when i was a kid i hated Motown, but as I get older i love Motown, there is something that is soothing, yet the lyrics mean SOMETHING ! I am writing blogs in work at 7.50, with Mr Gaye on the cd player, it doesn't come much better sometimes ...
By the way " you are everything is the current track " classic !
Go dust off some Motown !!

M.M.R jab
3 little letters that have not struck me with fear, until now !!
I do not pretend to know very much about this subject but,I have always thought that this was essential for Darcy, my sister had measles very badly as a child, and I know someone else who went deaf through having measles, so I figure that the MMR is a good thing , right??
The only study ( i think ) in the U.K was only done on about 100 people, and there were a lot of other factors involved in the case, but there is now another ground swell of anti- MMR in America, Thanks for this as Darcy was due to have it tomorrow, ( 3 months late, due to her surgery , and then 3 colds on the trot !! )
All I want to do is the best by my daughter, the choices we make can have the biggest impacts possible on her life, If we give it her, and she suffers from Autism, I would not forgive myself..... But if I did not give it her, and she lost her hearing , after having measles ( which is now on the increase in Britain) I again, would not forgive myself !!
This is another fork in the parenting road !!

NO !!
Darcy's latest and favourite word of the moment !!
though she can say Elephant, and "temture" (Temperature) ( a word she picked up from having her temperature taken in hospital last week , so many times ) her best word at present is definatley "No" !
Yesterday she reversed the " are you a baby? " answer "NO" " a big girl" to :-
" are you a big girl ? " answer " No" " a baby " to which we said, " Are you a baby ? " and she said, "No " " a big girl " !!!!
You really can not win sometimes !!

I WAS THERE !!
One of those momentous occasions, that as a father , or parent, you pray you are there for,
Darcy took her first unaided steps, and walked across the room !!
What a day, Jayne had been practising for about a week, and Darcy was taking a couple of steps, but yesterday Jayne called her, from the other side of the room, and she just , well, walked !! How great is that !!
Darcy still prefers to walk holding one of our hands, but hoepfully she will be off and walking soon !!
Pleased as punch !

If only we had had the weather this summer that we have had this weekend ? !!
WOW !!
What weather, We managed to get upto the country park twice this weekend !! the sun was out, making it a very nice Autumn weekend !!
We even remembered to take the bread for the ducks, though Darcy has to perfect her throwing arm yet, it is more of a " UR " and drop, but there is something to work with I think !!
Good to get a bit of excercise also time has been pressed recently !
Darcy is wowing the crowds wherever she goes, at the moment, she has got her first pair of shoes, which have a squeaker in each heel, so you can't miss her, when she walks by !!
