I think the pjs are not something I would want! I played Hopscotch almost every day at recess and loved it. Now it seems like it would be harder on my much older body, but I can't believe a kid got in trouble for playing it!Stephanie@Fairday's Bloghttp://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-35412713167150293942013-05-31T19:26:36.840+01:002013-05-31T19:26:36.840+01:00It's a shame that more parents don't read ...It's a shame that more parents don't read to their children in bed, as it's a great bonding experience!

I learned so much stuff and was able to indulge myself in pre-teen lit. Some reall good early chapter books are out there begging to be read.

MInd you I hated books, so perhaps that's why!<br /><br />My main concern about the pj's is the stereotyping of pink for the girls and blue for the boys. Something so modern and high tech and yet incredibly old fashioned and out of date when it comes to gender issues.

I remember playing when I was little.<br /><br />And those PJ's are crazy.

That was always fun...especially when you tossed a randomly found pebble and had to skip over that square? Too fun. Regarding the pj's, yeah...not so keen on it. Making the voices and such was half the fun!

We love the Saucepan Man (and the fact that he couldn't hear properly because of all the clangs) and the dame who washed a lot. That ever-changing land at the top of the tree ~ oh my, what wonderful dreams! {Another favourite Blyton series is the Wishing Chair.

It's a shame.<br /><br />I always wanted a scooter - you know, the kind you push along with the other foot. Now they make those fancy ones called Razrs or something like that.
