i was so well prepared with red and green clothing and mcn to put on bilby today, but it seemed pointless, when it was just us three, at home all day. So didn't use any of it.

what did i get for xmas?
bilby did her first wee in the potty (reading her book). Didn't want her to sit on her flipout sofa, just in knickers, so i removed the flip out sofa, put the potty in it's spot, and she sat on that, then did a weird stare, which made me think "is she doing something?", checked and YES! so i made dh join me in a huge celebration of WOO HOO's to get the message thru to bilby that yes, she did good! (she was wearing knickers at the time, didn't pull down knickers or anything, but you gotta start somewhere.) she was carried to the bath, wiped clean, put in new knickers, and taken to see the potty get emptied and flushed down the loo - to help her understand the cycle. and then to wash our hands.
DId i leave anythign out? i'm guessing all the time, hoping i remember all your tips!!!

thanks Maz, i will look out for Bond's hipsters, i got a 3pack of their normal undies at Coles, but they are a bit generous in sizing, didn't notice hipsters, i'll look again.

FJ, i tried bestnless and Coles, havne't looked anyway else, i don't go shopping IRL much these days. I would prolly look in big w, kmart, target when i next get the opportunity - i'll let you know if i find smaller brands in that size.

How typical Maz, you make covers galore for EVERYONE else, and your poor kid gets to wear one with a missing eye! I've made all these bibs, really pleased with them, gave them away, none for bilbs. LOL.

Suse - amazing how much entertainment value is to be had out of sultanas.

bilbs fave xmas pressie was a $2 fairy wand, holographic streamers on it and a glittery star on the end. her fave word is STAR STAR and she'll tell you loudly, STAR STAR, any time she sees or thinks she sees a star. e.g a flower or snowflake can be a star, anything in a starlike shape.

she loved the wooden pullalong toys i got her too, just attached a longer ribbon and away she went. it's like she's the Pied Piper of the pullalong toy.

wotbb: second night nappy for tonight, cos poor love is teething and we had a early night time poo (she never poos at night, unless teeth are coming). at least it was a nugget, i'm grateful for small mercies.

So we all survived xmas, i'm so glad it's over.
