Amongst you, &lt;strong&gt;44% believe that the ideal number of children is 3&lt;/strong&gt;, 24% think it's 4 (TRUE!) and 22% 2. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Knowing that Sacha has 2 and Ella 1, although we might not be the universal referent, it is quite obvious that our dreams surrender reality. That said, the Office of National Statistics confirms this with a fertily rate at &lt;strong&gt;1.96&lt;/strong&gt; (highest since 1973 but too low to renew population). It is also worth mentionning  an average age for Mummies of &lt;strong&gt;29.3 years old&lt;/strong&gt; and a decent number of births with 708 711 newborns in 2008 for &lt;strong&gt;Great Britain&lt;/strong&gt;.

But she does not even talk in French, don't you think it is a bit elitist to force her to learn English?" (I won't comment on that as it will be a good opportunity to develop the subject with one of our specialists!). Then some of them, kindly orientated me towards very handy solutions: very very good schools (EAB, Lennen, or Jeannine Manuel), but either there were miles from my place, or they were not accepting kids below 3 years old.

So I tried quite a few of them in London and I went for Little Gym.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It's available for babies from 4-Months up to 12-Year. It's 45 minutes long, starts with singing and parachute playing, then there is the actual gym (more tiring for the parent than the child until they're 2, but...) in a very large and bright room, with a set up similar than the ones you can find in a proper sport club, i.e bars, trampoline, gym mats, &lt;span style="BACKGROUND-: ;color:#666666;"&gt;beam&lt;/span&gt;. The instructors are very well trained and also nice and fun. It ends up with playing with balls and some flying bubbles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I find that it really does make a difference for our grumsters - Apolline is actually just now trying to climb on my knees, very skillfully...- Apolline and Keira gained a lot of confidence with their bodies, daring to try to do things they wouldn't have otherwise, and of course also jumping, running...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There are centres across London, but also in France and most European countries, and of course also in the States since it's an American company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Go check their website : &lt;a href="http://www.thelittlegym-eu.com/"&gt;http://www.thelittlegym-eu.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers,&lt;br /&gt;Sacha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Quand Apolline a eu 1 an et qu'elle ne cherchait toujours ni a se lever ni a bouger, j'ai decide qu'il etait temps pour moi de trouver un cours de gym. J'ai fait le tour des possibilites a Londres et j'ai choisi sans hesiter Little Gym.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il y a des "cours" pour les enfants a partir de 4 mois et jusqu'a 12 ans. Ils fonctionnent tous a peu pres sur le mode : ca commence par des chansons et puis souvent par des jeux autour d'un grand parachute. La gym commence alors dans une grande salle claire, avec de jolies couleurs et un equipement tres professionnel (poutre, matelas, barres...) et adapte a l'age des enfants. Les instructeurs sont tres bien formes et plutot sympas. Le cours se termine par des jeux de balles et des bulles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il me semble que ces cours ne font pas qu'occuper nos petits diables, meme si ca fait partie de leur importante fonction, mais surtout ca les rend bien plus degourdis et a l'aise dans leurs corps. Mes filles sont devenues bien plus debrouillardes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il existe des Little Gyms un peu partout en Angleterre, mais aussi en France et en Europe en general.

She had to nurse the 5 until recovery! That said she gave me a good tip when I mentioned my daughter was suffering from&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; gastro&lt;/span&gt;enteritis (tummy bug) very often: was I not aware of the gastro immunisation, she yelled me in horror?! I rang the doctor straight away and tried to sweeten my growing anger: why did not you tell me about the &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;gastro&lt;/span&gt;enteritis vaccine ? The doctor replied in a diplomatic way that this immunisation was quite recent and was usually given to children before the age of 6 months. Also this vaccine only covers for certain types of gastro and does not last forever. This vaccine (2 types: Rotateq and Rotarix) should help reducing severe cases mostly observed on babies for whom dehydration is difficult to contain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Once again, do not hesitate to call your doctor for suitable advice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Take care ,&lt;br /&gt;Ella&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NB: If you have tried this vaccine or would like to add some information about this, please email us at &lt;a href="mailto:ellansacha@gmail.com"&gt;ellansacha@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il y a quelques jours, je recois un appel de Madame Calamity. Jane Calamity est mere de 4 enfants et vit a Paris. Avant de partir en vacances avec l'equipee familiale, elle s'est rendue compte que la derniere (4 mois) etait couverte de boutons rouges. Elle dut finalement la laisser a la maison avec sa nanny. Quand elle revint apres une semaine de soleil et de detente, elle les a retrouvees, les deux, ainsi que ses trois autres enfants, tous contamines par la varicelle! Elle a du ainsi s'occuper des 5 jusqu a retablissement complet. Ceci dit, cela a ete l'occasion d'apprendre une nouvelle interessante: lorsque je lui ai fait part de la recurrence de gastroenterite chez ma fille, elle m'a lance, horrifiee: "Quoi? Tu ne connais pas le vaccin contre la gastro?" J'ai tout de suite appele mon pediatre et lui ai demande pretendument detendue (tout en pensant, elle me le paiera!): "Pourquoi ne m'avez vous pas parle de ce vaccin??" Elle a repondu comme a l'accoutumee de son petit ton hautain, mais de facon tres diplomate, que le vaccin etait recent et etait habituellement administre avant l'age de 6 mois. D'autre part, ce vaccin (de 2 types: Rotateq et Rotarix) ne traite que certains types de gastro et n'est efficace qu'entre 6 et 12 mois. Il vise a limiter les cas extremes et difficiles a traiter a cet age, de deshydratation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Pour un avis pointu, preferez bien sur celui de votre medecin!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bientot,&lt;br /&gt;Ella&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NB: si vous avez essaye ce vaccin ou si vous souhaitez apporter un complement d'information, merci de nous envoyer un email a &lt;a href="mailto:ellansacha@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:ellansacha@gmail.com"&gt;ellansacha@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8563107753061962572-7025566247890225136?l=ellansacha.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ellansacha.blogspot.com/feeds/7025566247890225136/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ellansacha.blogspot.com/2009/05/ella-rang-doc-end-of-gastroenteritis.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8563107753061962572/posts/default/7025566247890225136'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8563107753061962572/posts/default/7025566247890225136'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ellansacha.blogspot.com/2009/05/ella-rang-doc-end-of-gastroenteritis.html' title='ELLA RANG THE DOC: the end of gastroenteritis?

The news were quite alarming and that was the first time I learnt of the word "pandemic" (I must admit I still dont know what this really means but it sounds scary, doesn't it?). I decided to ring my peadiatrician as Dina-Rose was sneezing and I heard that the sooner you handle that "S...." the better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Doctor was very quiet and revealed that this kind of problem was underwatch for quite some time, that everything was under control, she was not bothered at all and just asked us to call again if any fever would appear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;That said, whereas I believe this is as dangerous to spread panic, as doing nothing, I would recommend we all take reasonnable measures to prevent the virus to spread, stay aware of the updated information by having a look at the following websites:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;- Useful tips: &lt;a title="http://www.nhs.uk/" href="http://www.nhs.uk/"&gt;http://www.nhs.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;- Information on confirmed cases: &lt;a title="http://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/en/index.html" href="http://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/en/index.html"&gt;WHO website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;- French Governement (in french) : &lt;a href="http://www.grippeaviaire.gouv.fr/monquotidienenpandemie/index.php"&gt;http://www.grippeaviaire.gouv.fr/monquotidienenpandemie/index.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;- US: &lt;a href="http://www.pandemicflu.gov/"&gt;http://www.pandemicflu.gov/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Of course, as I am not a professionnal I would not advice anything but calling your specialist if you have any doubt or if you are seeking for reliable information relative to your case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;For the Londoners: enjoy the sunny bank holiday in London while I am working!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Take care,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Ella&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Grippe Porcine,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Quoi?

But the torture is located in different places: so we just have to change shoes everyday so the torture will be spread all around the foot each day and leave the other areas to rest in the meantime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where can you see Sacha shopping shoes in London?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- One small step one giant leap (&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Portobello&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;): &lt;a href="http://www.onesmallsteponegiantleap.com/"&gt;http://www.onesmallsteponegiantleap.com/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;- Trotters (High Street &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Kensington&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;): &lt;a href="http://www.trotters.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.trotters.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;- Russell Bromley Children (High Street Kensington): &lt;a href="http://www.russellandbromley.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.russellandbromley.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Selfridges&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (Oxford Street): &lt;a href="http://www.selfridges.com/"&gt;http://www.selfridges.com/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Crocs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on line: &lt;a href="http://www.lookatmycrazyshoes.com/"&gt;http://www.lookatmycrazyshoes.com/&lt;/a&gt; (has not been tried yet).&lt;br /&gt;- Start Rite on line: &lt;a href="http://www.startriteshoes.com/"&gt;http://www.startriteshoes.com/&lt;/a&gt;(has not been tried yet).&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Aster&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Shoes in USA: &lt;a href="http://www.asterchildrenshoes.com/"&gt;http://www.asterchildrenshoes.com/&lt;/a&gt; (has not been tried yet).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Little trick/tip: please to all "shoe sales": PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Let's assume I really am allergic to "Dora Fuchsia &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Crocs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;" and I prefer Aster white sandals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I pick up both (to please my daughter) and I ask the sales to come up with a size 25 (UK 7.5) for both and I add, quite loudly (in a very weird kind of way): PLEASE BRING A SIZE 25 FOR BOTH and IF EVER YOU &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;DONT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; HAVE ANY 25 left in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;CROCS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, THEN WE WILL PICK UP THE ASTER ONES? YOU GOT ME???".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Well, it usually works unless the Sales does not know the trick!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;That said, Sacha reminds us: whatever you pick up, be aware of your child's feelings: he/she is the one who will be wearing it and the one who will explain better if the shoe is comfy or not. You just have to learn how to listen carefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me know what your favourite brands are!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers,&lt;br /&gt;Sacha&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8563107753061962572-519304109241597623?l=ellansacha.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ellansacha.blogspot.com/feeds/519304109241597623/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ellansacha.blogspot.com/2009/04/sachas-investigation-choose-shoe.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8563107753061962572/posts/default/519304109241597623'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8563107753061962572/posts/default/519304109241597623'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ellansacha.blogspot.com/2009/04/sachas-investigation-choose-shoe.html' title='SACHA&apos;S INVESTIGATION: Choose a Shoe!'/><author><name>Ella and Sacha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14111869394966184018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4mbRz3HPSHI/SkTIRzwa5uI/AAAAAAAAAF4/5f6MJQd1ff0/S220/2bearsportraitfacelow%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4mbRz3HPSHI/SfAqFXKwK2I/AAAAAAAAAAM/SNnmLwVhHuQ/s72-c/ES230409.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563107753061962572.post-1160328886324363507</id><published>2009-04-03T07:38:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-03T07:42:23.942+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Once Upon a Time.......</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Ella and Sacha.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;were born under the abundance of Love.&lt;br /&gt;First was the meeting of Ella and Sacha at Dauphine University where they were studying the glamorous principles of banking, aiming to reach the now so trendy trading floor of the supreme god of finance.
