nad her big ball..

[Guest guest]

Hahaha!! XD

Sounds like a winnie The Pooh overdose alright!!

You should have let him finished and then asked: " Excuse me, but..

who on earth is Eeyore?? "

Naah.. maybe not.

He might have breakdown and cry 'cause obviously sounds like a very

stressed out man.. (a man with a Winnie The Pooh overdose?? Scary..

VERY scary!!)

And, anyway, I would NEVER suggest to pick Eeyore as a favorite

charcter!! (What a downer!!) Actually, Winnie The Pooh's characters

are all quite like that!! Why not picking some other cheerful

cartoons like Maya the Bee, The Gummie Bears (I used to love them!),

the Smurfs.. I mean CHEERFUL ones!!

Smiling (and laughing) is a " bear " necessity, so let's catch the joy

and happiness as a model and not the sadness.. (I guess that man saw

himself in that poor ass..Tut tut.. too bad)

Annnnnd.. by the way, and before my brain draws my attention to

something else completely insignificant and I forget..

I think you or Simon mentioned how loves her big exercise

ball.

Here is my question, to you and to **anyone** whose child has a big

exercise ball of the kind:

What do they exactly do with it??

I mean, isn't it dangerous to give a small child such a huge ball to

play with? Or is it part of some PT exercises?

I was thinking buying one for Aidan for this Xmas, but he might be

too small yet..

I might ask the PT-ist anyway, but, as usual, I want to ask you guys

first..

Thank you!!
