In the meantime, he had charmed the queen while he painted with their running conversation. Plus, he writes music.

Oh and sorry Tink-Mobile but Leyton Hewitt is a tool, now John Newcome was one of Australia's best and nicest players but hugs for appreciating our talent

As for the new anthem, we all know it should be "Still Call Australia Home", not that suicidal sheep thief song. I will now step off the soap box and let someone else have a go lol.

Originally Posted By Tandelothien ^^My DS had that same Wiggles DVD and I know what you mean about the 50th time, except because my DS is developmentally delayed he was into the Wiggles for much longer than other kids his age, so I think I had to sit through that at least 95 times, lol.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Hey Tand, more similarities here, GS is also delayed. He is 6 and still insists on watching the Wiggles DVD's when he is here. My sisters 3 year old GS already rolls his eyes at The Wiggles.
Originally Posted By Tandelothien ^^Haha, my DS only let go of his Wiggles DVDs about a year or 2 ago and he is 13 now so your younger GS might want to get used to the idea, lol.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Seriously, when he has been here, DH and I find ourselves singing and humming those darned catchy songs for days after. Then we look at each other and say "stop it, NOW!" I just realized that I wrote that GS is 6, he will be 6 in March, I'm aging him for no reason!
