Welcome back to this week’s episode of Parental Geekery. We start off talking some more about John’s new obsession with yoyos and tell the story of the first event in our life that made Ruth exclaim “podcast fodder!!”

We’re both experiencing the pain of waiting – Ruth for her new iPad mini and John for his new Panasonic GX7. David has also experienced the pain of his pre-school booster vaccinations, and we talk about how that went.

For the first time ever the kids have written letters to Father Christmas – we share what gifts they are hoping to find in their stocking this year if Santa can manage it. Ruth used this rather cute letter template to help with this activity.

As for what we’ve been watching, this week it’s been the rather charming film My Week With Marilyn.

Before we sign off we remind you all that it is still Movember and John is still very grateful of any donations through his MoSpace page. Ruth has also discovered Dinovember which might be something we try next year!

And finally we introduce our new Google+ community where we’ll be saving interesting news articles for future shows and would love your feedback and input.
