Hi Everyone - finally I think I have a couple of minutes to do some persies.

Murph - good to hear you are all safe and well.

Kahlan - great to see you back. It sounds like Lyla is getting separation anxiety - Jasmine went trough some time where she just would not play on her own, I had to be with her every moment. She has grown out of that phase and now plays quite happily for a while on her own. I don't really have any useful suggestions except that they do get more capable of being on their own. In regards to the moving around the cot - I have the same problem with Jasmine, so will be interested in anyone elses suggestions. I did ask my MCHN and her only advice was to try a sleeping bag to slow down their ability to move - I haven't got around to buying a summer weight one (only have a winter one), but will do so in the next few days. I also introduced a 'snuggly' toy which Jasmine now spoons to sleep - if you get something nice and cuddly that to start with you hold in your arms as you rock them to sleep - then eventually you can get to the stage where you put them down with the snuggly when they are sleepy. It is a hard time with the sleep regression at that age, but keep in mind how many new things your little one is learning - she is wanting to practice at all times of the day and night. I am holding on to the mantra that they will grow out of this stage eventually! Hope some of that made sense - trying to think and type quickly as Jasmine is about to wak up.

Kelly - good to here your MG went well and that Tara was in fine form! Hope the plumbing situation got sorted out.

Sorry girls that is as far as I can get today as Jasmine has woken up - best go tend to the masters needs

Hi to everyone else and I will try and get back later for more of a catch up.
