I remember doing the floating arms one when I was a kid – I loved that trick! I also used to do a “magic” trick that your daughter might like. You get someone to hold one arm up and one down while you’re not looking at them. Then they put their hands next to each other and you “magically” tell them which hand they were holding up. The hand being held up will be paler than the other one.

As for times, I’ll guess at 3:36am… same as my son.

Oh this is a fun competition. I’m going to guess at 7pm because that is around the time both my girls were born.

Hi Deb,

Are the notifications for follow-up comments working? I was fairly sure I had it ticked, both on this and on the post about numbers but I don’t seem to get any emails (this time I definitely have it ticked, so lets see…

Deb September 25, 2010 at 2:53 pm: The notifications are only for direct replies to your comment, so you should get this. I had a different plugin but had problems with it, thanks for reminding me to look for another one 🙂

Have bookmarked your website and now following on facebook – love it!! I remember the floating arms trick too… but we stopped doing it cos mum told us it was bad for us….??? I wonder if we were actually damaging the doors or something 😛

As for my guess, I’m going for a 10:37am guess 🙂 …. just because I feel like it 😀

*toddles off to try to remember to do other stuff than just reading this site*

Tanya September 26, 2010 at 1:11 pm

I’ve been following via RSS and email. My guess is 9.29am. 🙂

Annie September 27, 2010 at 6:08 am

Its my big girl’s birthday this week too, though she is turning 6. Suddenly seeming very grown up…
I’m guessing 5:47am

Love those party tricks, will try them with the kids today.
I like one also (not quite the same principle, more about balance I think) where someone lies on the floor with arms out above their head, eyes closed, and someone lifts their arms up so the body is pulled up off the floor – then slowly lowers them back down, eyes still closed. It feels like it takes too long to get to the floor and even that you are going down through the floor – very freaky feeling.

Um …. I’ll let her share Princess’ birth time of 1.13pm, only because my brain is half functioning.

And as for those tricks, I may need supervision as my body never responds as it is supposed to, too many damaged nerves and ligaments I think 🙁

Love the party tricks. I can’t wait to try them with my kidlets tomorrow. And since I have commented I may as well add a time too. ummmmmmmmm 9.12pm
