There are a few of us here that have been here since the very beginning of OHbaby! way back in 2003, and the 'babies' whose sleep habits, feeding and teething we commiserated about then are turning 4. So to kick off the new Kindy and Beyond board I thought I'd see what they're up to now?
I'm thinking of Alyssa, Sophie, Maya.... is there anyone else still around from back then? -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Good Idea, Lissy is almost 4, will be on the 8th of april. She is amping to go to morning kindy. Has lots of really good friends and loves living at the beach. We are moving next week (about 3 houses up the road) and She will get her own room. She is so excited about that. Has a slight obsession with the number 52 at the moment, I so dont know what that is about  ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

Where's Maya's update? did i miss it. (seriously, did i?)
He he, paris is crazy, already in daycare so will more than likely stick with that instead of going to kindy. Instead is looking forward to school.. waaay forward, coming up far to close - we are auditioning schools at the mo, there were 3 we were considering but now down to one definate - that i went to, and we are going to have to move to be in the zoning for it but definately worth it. she thinks we chose it cos it has 3 playgrounds! which obviously is very important when considering schools. she is crazy nuts with dancing, cracks me up, and is so bossy. she comes out with the most matter of fact adult sayings, mike got a new phone yesterday - and she said to him today "if you keep playing with that phone instead of us then mummy will have to take it away from you". BOSS - SSY ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

No you didn't - I'm just a slacker 
Miss Maya - what can I say? She talks 100 miles an hour, is on the go from the time she wakes up till she finally crashes out at bedtime, loves Montessori and is thriving there. She can write her own name, recognise and write all the letters of the alphabet and numbers up to 20, is reading simple words like "the" "and" etc. Loves drawing, her fave thing to draw atm is maps, they must have been learning about them at preschool coz she draws X's on them and when I asked her what X means she said "X marks the spot"
She loves her baby sisters to bits, picks out which nappies/clothes they are going to wear, tries to feed them (they mostly laugh at her) and loves singing to them when they are in their JJ's and turning their lullaby CD on when they go to bed. She does swimming lessons once a week, loves the water (always has, my little Pisces) and is learning backstroke. She also does ballet once a week which she enjoys, I think she fancies herself as a ballerina, which is kinda funny coz she is a bit of a tomboy. Oh and she is big into music atm. She knows all the words to Beyonce's Irreplaceable, Omarion's (sp) Icebox, and that new Akon song I can' remember the name of. She has all the MTV moves down pat too, altho who knows where she gets them from coz she never watches it here
We've got her enrolled in Marist primary for next year, and are looking at the "One Day School" gifted kids programe where they go one day a week instead of going to normal school and do an extension programme as preschool think she is "gifted" (to put a horrible label on it ), which is something Plunket have been telling us since she was 5 months old. Brains from Mummy, looks from Daddy I reckon 
Oh and she has a "lithp", we took her to see a speech therapist and she will apparently grow out of it once she loses her baby teeth coz her adult teeth are bigger and will force her tongue back where it should be. Well Janine - you asked! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I wouldn't be looking at Milson at the moment if you can help it. My mum works at a school in Palmy and they have a couple of teachers that have moved to her school from Milson and they hated it there. One teacher lasted 1 term there due to the pressure put on her from the principal. She said that the children aren't getting the quality of teaching from the teachers due to the pressure on the teachers. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I went to central normal. I went to west end too which are both good schools, but central normal is just so much nicer. We have gone and had a good look around them and found that both russell st and milson were very easy for kids to just wander in and out of, no set gates etc.. now i know it sounds stupid but central is fully fenced - even if it's just a knee height one in some places, it's more modern, the teachers nad headmaster are wonderful (Mr smith is awesome! he was there when i was i think!) and the playground areas are well kept, and not right next to the roadside or shrouded in trees. I think my one biggest fear about sending them to school is them being taken from school or going outside school grounds - simply cos daycare is so well fenced and monitored etc. but milson, we walked around the other day.. is not as well kept, the playground is for big big big kids.. ie, me an dmike had trouble playing on it cos it's a huge obstacle course. And theres a park right on the outskirts of it.. which opens out to the roadside and is far removed from the school. russel st is apparently a good school too but i didn't think it had the same appeal and looks much smaller. Anyway, all the ramblings. Central is great, we are willing to move just so the girls can go there. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

i think if you googled palmy school zoning - mike did and they sentus an email with the zoning for central.. although i wish they would just block out areas on a map.. we got details like West of ...st, up to ...st, north to ... st. If you wanted to i spose you could map it out yourself but would be easier to just see it on a map and go oh, ok, outside this area is not zoned. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Time does fly. I've been a member since I think before Harry was born which was May 2003.
We have also been doing the school rounds and although we have a great school two minutes walk from where we live we've decided to put Harry into a catholic school in the City (Wellington). There hours are 8.40am to 2.40pm so DH can drop him off and get to work by 9.00am (and take Alex to creche) and I can pick them up. It hasn't been an easy decision and all bar one were fully fenced so that freaks me out a bit also |

| Glad to see that oh baby is still going strong. Have not popped in for a couple of years now. I joined in Nov 03 and was a great site for advice with my son who was born prem. Am TTC again so thought I would pop in for a look around again. Glad to be back. |
