In our family twin II (girl) at 2yo is just like her older brother was... while twin I is much more peaceful and laid back... we do take them all out to run round like puppies as often as possible... we're used to having a boy!

"Admission and Oversubscription Criteria 2.1 If there are more applicants than the number of places available the following oversubscription criteria will be applied: The applicants will be placed in one of 3 ability bands according to their test scores, including those with a Statement of Special Educational Needs that names the school. After places have been allocated to children with a Statement of Special Educational Need that names the School in accordance with the Code of Practice, places within each band will be allocated in the following order of priority: i. Children in public care (Looked After Children) ii. Children who satisfy our scholarship criteria based on aptitude for music or sport iii. Children who will have brothers or sisters attending the school at their time of entry (see Note 3) iv. Where professional evidence indicates that there are particular psychological, medical or social needs which the school?s Learning Support Faculty agrees can best be addressed at the school (see Note 4) v. Random allocation within each ability band. This process will be supervised by a person not employed by the school"

No, if you read the admissions criteria, it gives you more priority even than having a sibling already attending

They can administer the whole process themselves if they like, in my LA the Foundation Schools have to pay if they contract the LA to deal with the admin themselves...

Fluro = snot been swallowed, IME. I think it will pass when the cold does. x

Many Foundation Schools carry out their own sifting of the applications. The criteria for Kingsdale are here: http://www.kingsdale.southwark.sch.uk/PDF/Admissions-Policy-2010.pdf Order of preference is not usually a citeria, and it's not mentioned.

Is it dark green, or snot coloured? Does it look like snot? (if it does, it probably is!)

Usually it's a sign of having a bit too much sugary foremilk. Is he sucking more for comfort/snacking? How often do you switch sides? You could try doing all feeds within a 3h period from the one side, to maximise the amount of hindmilk.. the hindmilk is the milk you make when you feel empty, the milk that gathers in the breast between feeds gives up some of its fat to the body and ends up as the sugary thirst quenching foremilk. As long a she is gaining weight and not too windy, it probably doesn't matter. Mucus from the cold might also be a factor...

You can get travel blackout blind things.. or I know some people line the windows with foil!!

My child is bright and he does act up, but it's not an excuse! With the twins, one has the same wild/determined strak, the other is more "docile"
