JacquieL Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 I like the going home idea. We have Teddies in our nursery, and even staff have to take them to exotic places. It is a bit embaressing having a picture taken with the nursery Teddy in the middle of a tourist spot, but then all foreigners know that the British are mad!
Rea Posted September 13, 2004 Author Posted September 13, 2004 There are some very understanding hubby's out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beau Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 But where's the picture of you Bubble??? And is that you in the avatar Rea?
Beau Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Just looked and there is a photo Bubble! You kept that pretty quiet didn't you.
Rea Posted September 13, 2004 Author Posted September 13, 2004 Avatar is picture of me with the DRIFTERS........Obviously older than I look!!!
bubblejack Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 I tried to put photo on with post without any luck so I put one in my profile instead.It was taken by my little granddaughter so I can show you all the necklace she made me.
Sue R Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Actually, I noticed that! You can tell her how beautiful I think it is !!! Sue
hali Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Gosh everyones getting clever with these computers..steve will be proud..
bubblejack Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Sue my granddaughter says thank you. Have replaced beads with Mary Bear.
Rea Posted September 14, 2004 Author Posted September 14, 2004 Relieved is probably a more apt word Hali!!!!!!
Rea Posted September 15, 2004 Author Posted September 15, 2004 Thanks for all the ideas. I have film and batteries in camera and will be in sainsbury's tomorrow.....
Rea Posted September 19, 2004 Author Posted September 19, 2004 The story so far....the puppets (Pierre and Yvette) have been seen in the local cafe, at the Scouts summer fete (in September??!!) buying tickets for the tombola and winning a coconut. They have also been seen wearing their seatbelts in my car. Tomorrow they are going into town to visit the PLA offices. At least I'll be assured of no funny looks there!
Beau Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Fantastic Rea , My 'Lucy and Tom' at playgroup will be out and about soon. Just a bit snowed under with a few things just now. Keep us posted with Pierre and Yvettes adventures though.
Rea Posted September 21, 2004 Author Posted September 21, 2004 Hi, our EYPCDPDCDP (whatever!) came in today and suggested we give the puppets a disability. She suggested that when the children speak to one of them it doesnt respond because, oops silly me I've forgotten to give her her hearing aid. Great idea ...now where can I find a hearing aid? I SAID.....
Guest Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 I thought all puppets had the same disability - mutism
Susan Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 mousebat- that is wicked! Rea -hope those photos are digital and you're going to share!
Rea Posted September 22, 2004 Author Posted September 22, 2004 No sorry, I havent managed to work out how to use our digital yet (only had it since christmas ). But I can scan them for you!!!
Rea Posted November 12, 2004 Author Posted November 12, 2004 Right then, puppets got put onto the back burner for a while but now we are ready to play, except that every time I get them out one little boy hits them, pokes them, laughs when they cry, hits them again when I tell him the puppet is sad and then runs off to play somewhere else. HELP.
Sue R Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 You'll have to let the puppets fight back!!! Sorry, I know that's not PC, but you could always turn that right around on him later! Give him some food for thought? Sue
Rea Posted November 12, 2004 Author Posted November 12, 2004 Definitly food for thought...now...who else bugs me????
Beau Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 Children! They have a way of spoiling every planned activity, don't they. Keep trying Rea. Perhaps you could get the other children on the side of the puppet? Good luck.
Rea Posted November 14, 2004 Author Posted November 14, 2004 Thanks I'm going to try both suggestions next week. Somebody's going to lose this battle....
