* The "Guess what's in the nappy" game - 8 nappies with realistic looking goop in them that we were encouraged to smell and even taste to try and work out what it really was. It included various different brands of chocolate, peanut butter, mayonnaise and dressings. Apparently Ann's young daughter is still traumatised from seeing mummy smelling and tasting dirty nappies!
* The "Baby Food eating race" - See who can feed their "baby" a small tin of baby food the fastest. Lesson learned - never feed your kid anything you wouldn't eat yourself. The lambs fry (with vegetables?) was the most disgusting, and tasted like spew. Apparently the carrot wasn't much better, and Peter ended up with more on his face than in his mouth.* The "Don't say the B-word" game - Congratulations to Chris on winning hands down. Everyone started the day with one nappy pin each but if you said the B-word you had to surrender your pin to whoever caught you saying it. We all started out pretty well but soon everytime someone accidentally said the B-word everyone would start laughing and shouting. Of course it got even funnier once you'd lost all your pins because you could say the word without fear and everyone would jump as soon as they heard it, but couldn't take any pins off you.
Thanks to everyone there for coming and also for the awesome presents you gave us. Up until the party we hadn't bought anything for baby. The main reason was we didn't want to rush into buying a whole lot of stuff and then end up moving to Wellington. We thought we'd buy it after we moved. Now we have a lovely rocker, heaps of clothes, and some really practical bits and pieces that are going to come in very handy.Big thanks to Tess for organising the people, Phil and Jude for hosting the party, and Tricia for researching all the cool games on the internet.
