New to Canberra ACT

[Trac73]

Hello Everyone

How are we all coping with the heat? How are all our precious bubs coping with the heat?

Well we had DD birthday party today and it was so hot that everyone went home so hot and sweaty and all the kids were just cranky and wingey. It was a dress up party and everyone took there costumes off within minutes of arriving, all except DD of course (but hers wasnt too bad heat wise).

So we all ready to meet up on Tuesday? It will be nice just to sit in the air con of the mall while the kids have a play. I am looking forward to meeting everyone soon.

Take Care in the heat..........apparently a change is coming (but when we all say).

Hi everyone

It was great to meet up and put some faces to names. SOrry we were so late will try and be on time next time round.

My DD is at preschool thurs and fri and she is home with me every second mon and tues.
I am happy to do most days but if DD is coming it will need to be on a mon or tues. i am happy to meet monthly also.

DD just had her 4 yr old needles and she didn't even cry or whimper i was so proud of her. DS has been really usettled this arvo but hopefully that means he might sleep through tonight

Well hope everyone has a great night and chat soon best go and feed the little man as he is screaming the house down.

Hi All

Gosh we have been quiet on here lately. Hope everyone is doing well.

Isn't it nice to have cooler weather rather than that horrible heat wave we had the other week. The only problem is that Jaylan had no winter clothes so i had to go out and do a winter shop (nice and expensive but thank god for no deposit laybe and Big W special).

Well my kids are growing fast and i cannot believe that my boy is nearly 3 mths old where does the time go? Brearna started preschool last week and absolutely loves it which is great. She had no tears and wants to go back everyday.

Sami - How did your DD go at preschool? Did she like it? How is it having one child at home 2 days a week? I am finding it nice as you get so much more done.

Sweetpea - How is Reagan? Hope you are all well.

Misty - How are Nathaniel and Angelica? How you feeling with the pregnancy? Hope you are all well.

Virgo - How is the preparing to move going? When do you move again? Hope your pregnancy is going well and you are taking care of yourself.

Well best be off to have a shower while Jaylan is asleep for a few minutes. When are we planning on another meet up? Where shall we meet next time? Who's in for a cuppa and a chat?

Take Care everyone and keep warm

[SamiH]

I'm always up for coffee and chat

Giselle breezed into preschool like i thought she would - its actually 3 days now cos she has daycare one day as well!

I am pretty sure Zander is teething - yep early, but I can see the lines under his gums, and his gums are mushy this morning with some runny nappies -screaming (!), and loads more drool and sore cheeks .... hmm

gotta go and see if misty rain has stopped to get the 3 days worth of washing on the line - how quickly it mounts up!

[sweetpea678]

Hi all,

I am allways up for a meet to, only real day I can't make it is Mondays.

Reaghan is doing really well, she did a few forward crawls in the last few days, so won't be long and no stopping her.

Trac, I had to get Reaghan a few warmer clothes as, what I have from the older two are way to big still. My dh dressed her the other day in 000 clothes and they still fit, little small but fitted.

SamiH, Hope Zander goes ok with his teething. Yeah washing piles up heaps here to, just when I thought I was in front another load to do.

Traci - I just spent this past weekend laybying winter clothes to Jelly and Nate. The change in weather caught us out, I tried to dress them in warmer clothing, only to find none of what they owned fit anymore. Strangely, there is a huge difference in size between the size 2 DD wore last winter and the size 4 she is in now


Hope everyone is going well, I am sitting on the couch, trying not to notice that my house currently looks like a bombsite and that Jelly is tearing up a couple of tissues into tiny little pieces and stacking them into neat little piles on the floor. My theoery is that if I pretend that I don't notice it, I don't have to get cranky about it and clean it up.

Just some trivia - Giselle's nickname is Jelly too - think it came from Giselle jelly belly - and then just became Gelly ....

LOL. I often get funny looks when I call her Jelly (she usually only gets Angelica when she is in trouble). She got that nickname before she was born. Mum and I were talking about what her name would be shortened to (I was saying I would call her Angel), when mum said to be careful, someone may shorten it to something horrible like "jelly". I had never even thought of that as a nickname before, and somehow it kind of stuck.

Well I am going to try and join a playgroup tomorrow morning. There is only one in Macgregor and they are pretty full already (have 19 people and can only have 20), but they said to come along and if no-one else shows up the spot is mine, and if they get more people who are interested they are going to try and start up another - although I think there are venue issues with that. Still, if it doesn't work out, apparently there are about 14 out at Kippax.
