    It's quiet in here today.

    I have just been baking with Kimberley and she loved it. In fact she is still sitting in the kitchen eating the cakes.
    She has started to be so cheeky last night when i was talking to her she told me to *shhhh bed* as if i was being bad. She even told the cat the same when he was playing with her.

    Hope everyone is doing ok.

    Awww that's so cute, Michelle! Sounds like Kimberley is getting to that really cute age where you can have so much fun with them! How's Alex going?

    Hope everyone else is doing well. I am pretty slack and don't keep up with this thread like I should but I do read your posts!!

    You don't have to keep up in here debbie if you don't wish too LOL. Your not officially in here for a long time yet

    I had a great day with the playgroup mums, a couple left around midday and there was just 3 of us left, so we sat there for the next 3hrs having a good old gasbag. Kameron was upset cause we had to leave.

    Love
  7. 12 Months - 3 Years, July '05 #2

    :

    Ambah, HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday. Sounds like you had a lovely day. Lol @ not being able to decide. It’s only when you’ve got no money to spend that you find the perfect thing you really need, & that’s when it’ll be on sale too. Glad you enjoyed your BB meet. Smaller groups makes it easier to talk to everybody. Poor Aidyn! & poor Mummy up that many times in the night.

    Kelly hope you’re back in the work groove now.

    Michelle did you try pressing the back button when you lost your post? Lol @ your inlaws.

    Kathryn hope Andrew liked his pressie. What was it? Happy lawnmowing. Am appalled at your eftpos debacle, I think they owe you something in compensation. Glad you had such a good gasbag with your playgroup mums, can’t beat a good gasbag.

    Tanya lol @ Emily calling toilet chocolate. I remember using freddo frogs when TT with my big girls. Great that she’s loving playgroup too.

    Michelle good luck with the TT. I’m sure Kimberley will take to it easily. She sounds really cute, they all love baking don’t they.

    Ooh Katanya, love your new look.

    Hi Debbie!

    Angus still snotty. His naps are all over the place because of my hospital & u/s appointments, but we’re managing 1 a day, occasionally 2 if we’re lucky. He had his usual baby cino on the way home today (coffee for Daddy, hot choccy for Mummy) & played for ages with the empty little paper cup and plastic spoon.

    He and the kitten are busy now tearing up wrapping paper all over the floor from DH’s birthday presents this morning. Will have to get one of the kids to pick it all up later, coz mummy can’t bend down to the floor any more.

    DH found a 3 year old Burmese ‘free to a good home’ and has gone out to get him. Aren’t we gluttons for punishment, lol.

    Oh, and for anyone who hasn't already noticed, Vanita has had her baby boy, and I posted an announcement this morning. He was born naturally, a VBAC, and over 10lb!! She says all is well, & will send further details soon. I'm sure right now she's snuggled up in bed with baby Dion all blissed out.

    yvette how are YOU going?? life must be full on with your little girls coming soon!! that is so cute Angus and the bubacino!! I am a hot chocolate person too..

    Michelle sounds like you had a great day baking..it's fun doing that sort of thing isn't it??

    I haven't had a chance to catch up with the rest of the other thread which is why I cheated and came over here.. O

    I visited a child care center they have 3 day free for Felix(I was planning on booking for next year)..but I'm not sure I want to put him in now..not sure if it was the center or just the thought of leaving him there.. 8-[

    :

    Katanya - I put Kimberley in to childcare one day a week when she was 15 months old and she loves going. I like it aslo as i used to get a day to myself and now i have a day just for me and Alex.
    Maybe give it a try and if you are still not happy then take Felix out. I'm sure it will do him good to go.

    Kimberley has learnt so much by going.
  10. 12 Months - 3 Years, July '05 #2

    :

    Yvette - I brought Andrew 2 things. A DVD burner from me and a Jumpstart 900 from the kids. The Jumpstart 900 is jumper leads a tyre pump and few other things in one unit for the car.

    Katanya - I read your post about the Child Care Centre and I agree with what someone else said. Go with your gut feeling.

    Love
  11. 12 Months - 3 Years, July '05 #2

    :

    A new thread, we have been busy chatting this month LOL.

    Katanya- it is hard to let go, but if you feel uncomfortable about the place, look at something else maybe. I agree that it is great for the kids to get out and socialise and I remember being so proud of Jordan cos she learnt how to meet people, she would go up to a kid she didn't know and say "Hello my name's Jordan, what's your name?" and I hadn't taught her that.

    Kathryn- what a pack of #$$@%^ at the shop, hope it gets sorted tomorrow. It makes you so mad when they can't just admit their fault and fix it. Hope Andrew does like his pressies, I'm sure he will.

    Ambah- sounds like a good meet, albeit a small one. I found the one we had with only 5 of us meant we could talk much more. The big ones you need to be a social butterfly and work the group, much harder. Poor Aidyn, hope the teething is over soon, I have similar problems with Jessica atm.

    Michelle- hopefully Kimberly starts using the toilet, but my advice is "watch the toilet rolls" that was my prob once jemma started using the toilet instead, I lost 4 rolls in a week.

    Tanya- it is cute with the chocolate mix up. Sounds like she's done really well with the tt too. How's Violet?

    Deb- what are you doing here? Nice to see you.

    Yvette- you guys will have a lost animals home soon by the sounds of it. Jordan saw an ad for a golden ret pup today and said MUM that's the dog you want. But we have a dog and a cat and nobody cares much about them so we don't need any other animals that's for sure. We have enough trouble feeding them $$wise. I really like how you can't get on the floor, makes an excellent excuse for someone else cleaning upLOL. I can imagine that ina few weeks your little man is going to look incredibly grown up compared to his little sisters. I think that is the amazing thing about newborns, they make other little kids look huge. Sounds ike you are full on into dr stuf atm.

    I know I've missed some people, but Hello hope you are well.

    jemma fell asleep on the couch at about 12.30pm, hadn't had lunch yet and slept until after 3pm. So did Jessica, it was very quiet, but the annoying thing was that we were waiting for them to wake so we could go to the bakery for lunch as Arron had finished work early and they didn't.

    The Target sale starts tomorrow, anyone braving it? I am not going to go tomorrow, I was thinking I'll go Friday cos it will be crazy tomorrow, there was only a couple of things I was interested in anyway. MIL said not to buy too much cos she is looking to get tickets for Mattel toy factory at end of yr from a lady she works with. But I have been before and what i found was i brought heaps of stuff that was good but I wouldn't have brought it if it wasn't so cheap, so it was sort of a waste iykwim. Plus they just got so much from MIL cos she got more for the money, she even outdid Santa. Which really ****ted me off.

    I almost feel like Jessica should be in this forum as the little bugger is doing to much atm, she is walking, 15 steps across the kitchen tonight and taking off from all over the place, leaves from the couch or just stands herself up in the middle ofthe room, she is 10 and a half months, no wonder I feel sad about losing my baby.

    I have cleaned like a possessed person today and was very pleased with the results, still have heaps to do, including going through Joshua's toy box and under his bed, I am trying to weed out some junky stuff bf xmas.

    Anyway have a great day everyone.

    Cheers Michelle

    :

    Thanks guys I talked over the childcare thing with DP(he has worked in childcare too) and I am not keen to put him in there at all now. There is a community one that is aged 3-5 years I want to check out up here, otherwise i'll look at ones down the mountain, but it would be handy to have one up here because if I'm at home for the day means I'd ahve to drive down the mountain..anyhow it would be worth it..I am going to go with my gut because I always get into trouble when I don't trust it..

    Michelle, I was tempted by the target sale, but I have decided that we ahve far too many toys for one boy already..we have been given heaps secondhand, and with op shopping and birthday presents..it just is riduculous..I need a bigger house!! I do want to get Felix a some sort of car to drive in for christmas, but I am not sure what I want yet..may look for it secondhand as well..he just LOVES anything ATM he can climb on and drive..what is it with boys are they pre programs to like that stuff??

  14. 12 Months - 3 Years, July '05 #2

    :

    Michelle - I am not going to the target toy sale either. Our Target here has had all the toys out already for a good week, so we strolled through the other day to check them all out but there was nothing that took our fancy really.

    Katanya - Great to hear that you have come to a decision regarding the child care centre. I had to laugh at driving up and down the mountain, reminded me of the song "She'll be coming around the mountain"

    Oh I forgot to mention earlier as well that one of the playgroup mum's said to me today "I hope I don't offend you, but you have such a gorgeous figure so why do you wear such baggy clothes" I told her it was cause I had no confidence etc so don't flaunt it, but agreed that my clothes are baggy and daggy LOL, but I have nothing else and I don't buy flattering clothes cause I dont' have an eye for that sort of thing iykwim and I have nobody that I can take that will give me an honest opinion.

    So now her and another lady that was there are going to take me shopping one day very soon. I said I can go whenever they are free. So will be an interesting day rofl.

    Love

    I am going to brave the Target sale tomorrow 8-[ I have decided that I want to layby for Aidyn one of those Leapfrog One-touch Baby books. They are from 6-36months... they retail at $80, so hopefully I will be able to save at leat $20, cause otherwise I wont be able to afford it. Apparently they sold out at our Kmart within 2 days... so hopefully if I get into Target by tomorrow night, there should still be a couple left. I dont fancy waiting for hours in the layby queue though

    Kat - What a nice compliment from that playgroup Mum! That is so lovely that they are going to take you shopping! Indeed you should be showing off your lovely figure a bit more!

    Katanya - good on your for making your decision and going with your instincts. Hopefully you will be able to find something better, that is on the mountain too!

    IKWYM about boys being pre-programmed to drive and love cars... Aidyn FAVOURITE toys by far are his little drive along cars. We havent gotten him a ride on car yet, but I'm sure he would love it to pieces if we did.... hmm.. maybe another thing to look for in the sales...

    Woohoo on getting all of the cleaning done today Michelle!! Want to come over my place tomorrow and help me??

    Yvette - how lovely to be getting another cat! I am sooo jealous! Your household sounds like the one I dream of - full of kids and pets
    Awww how cute @ Angus having a baby-cino!

    I went out allll day today with Bec & Jules (who chat on these boards too). Poor Aidyn didnt get to sleep until we got home at 4pm. Then it was really funny, cause I put him down, and he just passed out in 2 seconds flat. Poor little bugga - I feel so sorry for him on long days like that. Especially when he is overdue for a nap by 6 hours! His teething is still a terrible ordeal, though probably not quite as bad as yesterday. Its his bloody 4th molar, it is 3/4 the way through, but the last bit pushing through looks painful, and I have even seen blood on it...

    LOL about the lady saying that to you Kathyrn, isn't it funny though that people do notice things about us that we think they don't, and how lovely to go girly shopping, I take a gf of mine who has no kids and good taste in clothes and we are great bargain buyers. I must admit it is easy to just keep going with the trackies and comfy too, but I do feel good in my jeans and nice tops, and if I get up and get dressed in jeans and stuff I guarentee Arron and Mum will ask me if I am going out, like anything other than trackies indicates an outing. LOL

    Now it is very unfair that you are keeping us in suspense about your news. Are you pregnant? (would you go clothes shopping? HMMMM). Is your little man walking? Am I close? I hate surprises and suspense! Please tell us quickly.

    Katanya- glad you are following your gut cos it is usually right in my experience. The only thing I wasn't happy about childcare was that the kids get sick alot, they seem to pick up everything, poor Josh had Hand, foot and mouth, conjunctivitis continually and also colds and viruses galore. Between 12 mths and 18mths he actually lost weight cos he was sick so much. People send sick kids all the time and it's really not fair.

    Anyway still here instead of being in bed, what else would I do with my lifeLOL

    Cheers Michelle

    Posting at the same time Ambah! Sounds like another good day for you, again poor Aidyn, teeth are merciless!

    Hope you get the thing you want. I actually was thnking of a power touch for Jessica for xmas, she will be 15mths then. Jemma has the baby leap pad, so I thought somehting different would be good. The other thing I got for Jemma was on of those interact tv things, so i need games for that. LOL I will have all the pres brought the way I'm going and I don't like doing it too early cos I always see better things closer to xmas.

    Katanya- you haven't seen toys until you come to my place, I am a serial overspender and I have a crazy MIL who buys 2nd hand stuff all through the yr and also went tot the mattel toy sale 2 yrs running and brought the kids more toys than Santa so........you can not even imagine!!!! I try to keep a lid on it, but it's not fair to not buy the little girls toys just becos the others have too many! I reckon I could have a great toy sale here!

    Anyway kathryn what's the secret or the announcement?

    I will bug you forever till you tell LOL

    Cheers michelle

    LMAO Michelle !!!!!!! It is fun keeping people in suspense. Kel will probably have the avatar up sometime tomorrow, she is normally pretty quick once one is emailed to her, so you wont have to wait long.

    Rofl @ all your guesses too.
