Up to my elbows in sick. The little lady has a vomiting bug. Barely had my arse in the seat in work and the creche were onto me to take her home yesterday. No warning signs, the little Lady was in good form. Creche won’t take her now for 24 hours which is fair enough.
It will be dry toast and fluids later see if that will stay down.

Grandparents day in the national school yesterday. Very good idea. The auld boy came down and he was ‘fierce impressed’ with what schools are like these days.
At one stage all the grandparents who were in one particular classroom were asked what it was like back in their day. Tales of two and a half mile walks to and back from school and the cane had the kids in 3rd class captivated.
Great initiative tbf.

V good idea alright. How do they deal with it for kids with no grandparents do you know? Fair bit of explaining in that for younger kids I’d say

I’m sure one of their two mother’s will be able to handle it.

There’s plenty of kids without grandparents, or even parents sadly, and worse in other situations, kids are smarter than we give them credit for.

I know yeah. Would have thought the kids are so cosseted these days anything that might make one of them feel excluded would be a no no

Potential business idea, agency Grandparents that can be hired by the day.

No. The intensive vetting procedures required would be too expensive

And there wouldn’t be a hope you could get insurance on them

Julia Donaldson Picture Book Collection - 10 Books:…

The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo’s Child, Room on the Broom… When it comes to books for toddlers, Julia Donaldson can’t be beaten and you’ll find all these and more in this brilliant 10-book collection!<br></br>

@Fran, this was a super call.

Not quite the same value as the Donaldson ones Fran posted, but if you want to support Irish, you could do a lot worse than Chris Judge’s Brian and the Vikings
