So the snows of early February have gone now and here at TheBabyWebsite we're wondering if it's safe to say that Spring is slowly arriving. One thing that's definite is now that Half Term is well and truly over, Easter will be upon us before we know it. TheBabyWebsite has had a bit of a Spring Clean over the past week and we hope you're liking the revamp as much as we do.
IN THE NEWS

With the sad
news that David Cameron's young disabled son, Ivan, has
suddenly died, our thoughts are now with the whole Cameron family at this
awful time.
We were shocked and disgusted to learn that the
beautiful and talented new CBeebies presenter Cerrie Burnell has been
subjected to so many insults and nasty comments simply because she happens
to be disabled. Apparently, parents have compained that the one-armed
presenter would upset and scare their
children. We think the parents have the problem here and so do you.
Chontvn thinks they need a 'good
kick in the ass'
According to our own recent survey, Hopscotch is
officially 'The
Greatest Playground Game of all Time'. It's good to see the old games like Hide and Seek, Skipping and Conkers in the top ten too - all playground classics which have sadly been banned in many schools due to ridiculous health and safety regulations.

Natalie at The Organic
Toy Company has been telling us how
trying to help her 3 children cope with their eczema, led to her founding
her own company.
Our Silly
Names story caused a bit of a stir in the
national press yesterday. So much of a stir in fact that it resulted
in our server crashing mid-morning when the BBC listed it as their
most-read and most-emailed story. Of course we plan for increases in
traffic but never in a million years did we expect the sort of traffic we
had yesterday. Great news for the future though!
FORUM
On the Small Talk Forum, Eeyore's 'What's Your Soap Box?' saw a lot of our members seething at dog poo, breastfeeding critics, litter and mobile phone call centres. Unsurprisingly, it seems that the same things irritate most of us.BlondeLou's 'What Did You Do?' got us all thinking about how our lives change completely once we have children. Have a think about it... when was the last time you went to the loo with the door shut or read the papers in bed on a Sunday morning?
You've also been telling us about The New Skills your tinies have acquired. And what a clever bunch they are! Who would have thought that so many of our toddler members would master the art of depositing their poos in potties so quickly?
And we challenge you to read Mummy Lorrie's really heartwarming post without going 'Awwww'..
